5Girls Skills for When Girls participate in the largest Girl-led business in the world, they “earn and learn” — they earn funds for their Girl Scout activities while learning 5 skills that will help them in business and life. 1 Goal Setting Girls set Cookie Sale Program goals and, with their team, create a plan to reach them. This matters because Girls need to know how to set and reach goals to succeed in school, on the job, and in life. 2 Decision Making Girls decide where and when to sell cookies, how to market their cookies, and what to do with their proceeds. This matters because Girls must make many decisions, big and small, in their lives. 3 Money Management Girls develop a budget, take cookie orders, and handle customers’ money. This matters because Girls need to know how to handle money – from their lunch money to their allowance to (someday) their paycheck. 4 People Skills Girls learn how to talk (and listen!) to their customers, as well as learning how to work as a team with other Girls. This matters because it helps them do better in school (on group projects, on sports teams, and on the playground) and later at work. 5 Business Ethics Girls act honestly and responsibility during every step of the Cookie Sale Program. This matters because employers want to hire ethical employees-and the world needs ethical leaders in every field. Why do these skills matter? When your Girl Scout has learned these skills, she will be poised for success in her career. Think about it: When employers interview job candidates, they all look for the same thing. This is true whether the employer is a bank, high-tech company, hospital, publishing house, car dealership, accounting firm- or even the local pet store! They look for someone who can set goals and meet deadlines, works well with others, understands customers, influences others, as well as someone who is honest, trustworthy, and reliable.

Goal Getter Phase This is the second part of the Cookie Sale Program running from January 20-February 16. It’s the time between when Girls turn in their Pre-Sale orders and when they receive their cookies. Keep the momentum going by utilizing these suggestions! When the Girls turn in their Cookie Order Cards with their Pre-Sale orders to you, hand them the Goal Getter Order Card (found online, eBudde and GSESC website). Collect the Goal Getter Order Cards and pick up additional Cookies from these sales at Cookie Cupboards/Warehouses starting February 18 or use Cookies from your Initial Booth order to fill the Goal Getter orders. Girls can contact customers that they missed in January and new customers anytime. They can also continue to send emails through Digital Cookie! Encourage your Girls to continue reaching their goals by setting Goal Getter goals using the Goal Getter patch or any of the other great items for sale. See pages 16-18 for more information. Keep your eyes out for communications regarding a Goal Getter incentive from GSESC, these will not be on the Girl Order Card. Ways to Increase Sales During the Goal Getter Phase • Use a door hanger to maximize potential orders when going door-to- door. • Cookie recipe cards are great promotional materials. Found on www.littlebrownie.com. • Use social media to spread the word “It’s Cookie Season” with friends and family. • Use e-cards from littlebrownie.com • Contact local businesses for sales and suggest they buy by the case. Cookies sold by Girls during the Goal Getter phase are allocated to Girls using the “Cookie Other” and “Spec Other” columns in eBudde.

Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina — 25 — 2019 Cookie Sale Program
Cookie Pick Up by Caregivers and Girls Follow these easy steps to ensure a successful Cookie delivery to your Caregivers and Girls! • Notify Caregivers of the date, time, and location they can pick up their order. Give yourself enough time to get home from delivery, unload the Cookies, and separate the orders. • Sort all Cookies and orders before you let any Caregivers pick up their Cookies. This will help you identify a problem with orders before anyone picks up. • Prepare Cookie receipts for each Girl. When Caregivers pick up, have them count and verify their order. Complete a receipt for every Cookie transaction. • Remember Caregiver’s are responsible for all Cookies they sign for. Write a receipt each and every time Cookies or money exchange hands. Keep receipts in a safe place with the signed 2019 Cookie Sale Permission and Responsibility Forms. • If you have a Girl with multiple Caregivers, be sure that they pick up their separate orders. • At this time, you can collect the Girl’s Goal Getter order cards. You can give them their Goal Getter Cookie orders from Cookie Booth Cookies you ordered or you can place a Cookie Cupboard/Warehouse order for pick up beginning February 18. Cookie Receipts Provide a receipt each time Cookies exchange hands to keep a record of who is financially responsible for those Cookies. Protect yourself, protect your Troop, and protect your Girl Scouts. • Date the receipt and include the Troop number and Girl’s name • You and the Caregiver should sign the receipt. Keep one copy and give the other copy to the Caregiver. Customer Cookie Delivery Checklist As the Girls pick up their Cookies to deliver to customers, please remember to cover the following: • It’s important to deliver the Cookies to the customers as soon as possible. Cookie Booth Sales begin February 22, and if customers see that other people have their Cookies before they do, they will be upset. • When Girls deliver their Cookies, they should ask the customer if they would like to order additional packages as the ones they ordered are likely to be gone within a short time and Girl Scout Cookies can be frozen.
