Girl Scouts - NC Coastal Pines
Setting a Cookie Sale Goal

Did you know that girls and troops that set goals sell an average of 30% more cookies? It's true -- selling cookies without setting a goal is like taking a trip with no destination!

Girls

Setting a goal is easy and fun, and starts with visiting ABC bakery's super cool Catch Goals site to complete an interactive goal setting activity to set up your own goal chart. Girls that enter their goal on the Catch Goals site by January 31, 2012 will earn the Goal Getter patch.

Goals don't always have to be set in box increments, though. Many successful cookie sellers set other types of goals -- to sell 10 more boxes than last year, or to earn a certain recognition or patch, or to help the troop earn enough money to go to Savannah. So whatever your goal looks like, share it with all your customers. Write it on your order cards, make a button, make posters!

You'll be surprised how many customers want to help you reach your goal. Just think how proud you and your family ... and your customers ... will be when you meet and exceed your goal. Good luck, and have fun!

Troops

In addition to personal goals, troops should also set a goal and make sure that all the girls know the troop's goal. Make posters for your cookie booths and update your goal poster as cookies are sold. Remember, customers want to be a part of your troop's success!

Don't forget to help your girls set their personal goals and enter them on the Catch Goals site. Each girl that enters her goal by January 31, 2012 will earn a Goal Getter patch which she will receive at the end of the Cookie Sale Program with the rest of her patches and recognitions.
