Recruiting New CommissionersIn the 1940's, a super-salesman named Elmer Wheeler made what Time magazinecalled "a handsome living" advising U.S businesses. His concept was - "Don't sell thesausage - sell the sizzle!" Elmer knew the big secret to successful selling is that youdon't advertise the sausage itself because it's the desirable sounds and smells whichget the juices flowing and the people hungry. We should keep that in mind whenrecruiting new commissioners - when making the sales pitch. Scouting is exciting,adventurous, and a whole lot of fun. We need to sell the "sizzle" of Scouting.Maximum number of participants: 26
