MA Business Insurance & Lessons from Girl Scout Cookies

Whelp, Girl Scout cookies have come and gone (for me anyway)! My sweet tooth prohibits them from being around for too long – it’s a curse, but I’m not sure how bad it is right now! 🙂 This year was the 100th anniversary for Girl Scouts and let’s face it, they’re infamous for their cookie sales. Look on the bright side though, these young girls already have some skills for business! After years of selling cookies, Girl Scouts take away these key facts:

  • The most likely sale is to an existing customer.
  • There’s no accounting for taste.
  • Cold calling isn’t as awful as it sounds.
  • Internal motivation is great, but sales targets are motivational too.
  • Connections matter, but they’re not everything.

Even established businesses should take note of these lessons the young girls in Girl Scouts learn. I’d like to add a sixth one to the list: Finding the proper protection for your Massachusetts business. Local agents at Encharter Insurance can set your business up with the proper MA Business Insurance policy to protect all aspects of your company. Knowledgeable MA Insurance agents can find you coverage for MA Accounts Receivable Insurance to MA Group Benefits, and everything in between. When you call up Encharter Insurance, don’t forget to ask about the Partner’s Program! So while you’re enjoying those Girl Scout cookies today thinking about the business lessons you may have received from these young ladies, give your MA insurance agent a call to discuss your present Massachusetts Business Insurance policies!
