Selling chocolates
Fri Sep 30, 2005 11:25 pm
Okay, my school's robotics team is selling chocolate covered almonds for the usual fundraising price of $2 per box thing. Now the dilemma is, i have to sell a box of 25 and i'm a terrible salesman. Any suggestions?

Buy the chocolate or I'll shoot your knee. Simple

Wow... fun fun fun =P.
Sell it to all your friends! And also, I usually sell them to some restaurants after I (*cough* my parents*cough*) have paid a lot because I'd be such a good customer that they would not be able to resist =P.
Sell them to your neighbours as well. Ah... don't really have that many tips. Look cheerful and don't be shy =D.

If you have a parent/other relative that works in an office type setting, try to sell them there.

You could try classic old door to door. Just be really nice. :)

If your parents work, just get them to bring the boxes to their offices. Usually you can sell most of them by doing it, ask them to use the "It's for my kid" and then in human nature(or usually i think) they would buy one...or something along those lines. Good luck with that.

Put on a collar and tell them that the master is threatening to sell you =/
Or alternatively, get your parents to sell them at their work. It usually works. Then some other kid gets stuck with godawful almonds.

Do what the kid on Bernie Mac did. Get little girls who are cute and adorable and no one can say not to, to sell them for you. If you have a little sister or something take her with you door to door and have her be charming and tell people it's for her. As an incentive for your sister to cooperate give her candy, don't become a sweatshop owner though like in the show, the girls will rebell and quit.
You can also set up a stand if it's hot where you live and say it's for some charity
...oh man those people who took advantage of Katrina 
....but you can be honest and like sell the boxes for three dollars and then say you will donate one a dollar (so sell a box for three, donate one dollar) to a katrina fund. That way you aren't making a profit and they are donating to the fund and you sell your chocolate....kind of dishonest to use that....but not like you'll profit from it......maybe that's not the best idea, go with the Bernie Mac one

Just keep the box in plan sight, bringing it to all your classes. People get hungry during school. If it's one of those HUGE ones, ask your local grocery store if you can set up a table and a poster board out front to sell the bars to benefit your club.
