Learning the Power of Sales at a Young Age with Blake the Scout

In this episode of Grit Won't Quit, Tom sits down with Blake, a 13-year-old Boy Scout who has already made a name for himself with an incredible approach to sales and entrepreneurship. Tom first met Blake when he came into the office selling Boy Scout popcorn and was immediately impressed by his confidence and sales pitch. Blake went on to become the #1 Boy Scout popcorn seller in the nation, with a goal of selling $80,000 worth of popcorn. Blake shares the sales tactics he's learned, how performing in plays helped him overcome nervousness, and why he enjoys sharing what he's learned with his friends. Tom and Blake also talk about his goal of becoming an Eagle Scout, being homeschooled, his plans to potentially start college early, and the advice he has for young entrepreneurs. A great conversation about confidence, learning, setting big goals, and understanding that different things work in different places.
