Last weekend it was Scouts apple selling weekend. It is the time where kids 12 and under stand outside various businesses in the local community asking for a donation to help them go to camp. In exchange for a small donation you’ll get a shiny apple and a big smile. This is the first year my kids have been enrolled in scouts and I was interested to see them in action trying to sell apples for funding their activity. It’s a great learning opportunity for kids, as young as 6 years old, to learn important sales skills to further their cause. After spending hours in the cold with both of my boys selling apples over the course of 2 days, I had the opportunity to observe their sales approach and provide my own coaching/encouragement between customers. Seeing the similarities in the general sales principles from apples to products/services we sell every day as professionals, I thought it was a great opportunity to share this experience with others.
