Don't think I could have convinced my husband to go out and sell $2000 worth
of cookbooks. ;o)

I, personally, don't go out to sell Trail's End popcorn. I just answer all
the phone calls from people looking to buy what has become the hottest
seller in our town. With this single campaign our Scouting group manages to
make all the camps free to all families and each Scout who wants to go to
Jamboree next summer will end up having to spend very little, if anything,
depending on how high his/her sales were.
