Ask, Ask, Ask

By Jack Canfield and Mark V. Hansen

The greatest saleswoman in the world today doesn't mind if you call her

a girl. That's because Markita Andrews has generated more than eighty

thousand dollars selling Girl Scout cookies since she was seven years old.

Going door-to-door after school, the painfully shy Markita transformed

herself into a cookie-selling dynamo when she discovered, at age 13, the

secret of selling.

It starts with desire. Burning, white-hot desire.

For Markita and her mother, who worked as a waitress in New York after

her husband left them when Markita was eight years old, their dream was

to travel the globe. "I'll work hard to make enough money to send you to

college," her mother said one day. "You'll go to college and when you

graduate, you'll make enough money to take you and me around the world.

Okay?"

So at age 13 when Markita read in her Girl Scout magazine that the Scout

who sold the most cookies would win an all-expenses-paid trip for two

around the world, she decided to sell all the Girl Scout cookies she could

- more Girl Scout cookies than anyone in the world, ever.

But desire alone is not enough. To make her dream come true, Markita knew

she needed a plan.

"Always wear your right outfit, your professional garb," her aunt advised.

"When you are doing business, dress like you are doing business. Wear your

Girl Scout uniform. When you go up to people in their tenement buildings

at 4:30 or 6:30 and especially on Friday night, ask for a big order. Always

smile, whether they buy or not, always be nice. And don't ask them to buy

your cookies; ask them to invest."

Lots of other Scouts may have wanted that trip around the world. Lots of

other Scouts may have had a plan. But only Markita went off in her uniform

each day after school, ready to ask - and keep asking - folks to invest

in her dream. "Hi, I have a dream. I'm earning a trip around the world

for me and my mom by merchandising Girl Scout cookies," she'd say at the

door. "Would you like to invest in one dozen or two dozen boxes of cookies?"

Markita sold 3,526 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that year and won her trip

around the world. Since then, she has sold more than 42,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, spoken at sales conventions across the country, starred

in a Disney movie about her adventure and has co-authored the best seller,

How to Sell More Cookies, Condos, Cadillacs, Computers ... And Everything

Else.

Markita is no smarter and no more extroverted than thousands of other

people, young and old, with dreams of their own. The difference is Markita

had discovered the secret of selling: Ask, Ask, Ask! Many people fail

before they even begin because they fail to ask for what they want. The

fear of rejection leads many of us to reject ourselves and our dreams long

before anyone else ever has the chance - no matter what we're selling.

And everyone is selling something. "You're selling yourself everyday -

in school, to your boss, to new people you meet," said Markita at 14. "My

mother is a waitress: she sells the daily special. Mayors and presidents

trying to get votes are selling... I see selling everywhere I look. Selling

is part of the whole world."

It takes courage to ask for what you want. Courage is not the absence of

fear. It's doing what it takes despite one's fear. And, as Markita has

discovered, the more you ask, the easier (and more fun) it gets.

Once, on live TV, the producer decided to give Markita her toughest selling

challenge. Markita was asked to sell Girl Scout cookies to another guest

on the show. "Would you like to invest in one dozen or two dozen boxes

of Girl Scout cookies?" she asked.

"Girl Scout cookies? I don't buy any Girl Scout cookies!" he replied. "I'm

a Federal Penitentiary warden. I put 2,000 rapists, robbers, criminals,

muggers and child abusers to bed every night."

Unruffled, Markita quickly countered, "Mister, if you take some of these

cookies. maybe you won't be so mean and angry and evil. And, Mister, I

think it would be a good idea for you to take some of these cookies back

for every one of your 2,000 prisoners, too."

Markita asked.

The Warden wrote a check.
