How to sell them
Six habits for the week, then words you can use.
Sales strategies
- Ask two questions before you suggest anything. "What do you usually get?" and "How do you like to use it?" Then pick from this sheet in that format. A suggestion that follows a question lands better than a pitch.
- One add-on on every flower order. Flower is what most people come in for, and it's what we're short on. Before you ring it up, offer one thing from the lists: a cart, a disposable, an edible or a gram of concentrate.
- Same format, one step over. When someone asks for a cart or disposable brand, show what they asked for and one from this sheet next to it at a similar price. Let them choose.
- Lead with the day's deal. Match the list to the deal: carts, disposables and concentrates on Saturday, concentrates on Wednesday, edibles on Thursday, vapes and pre-rolls on Tuesday. The deal does the selling; you point to the product.
- Try the testers. You sell what you know. Products marked TESTER have a tester on hand. Try them and write down two things you'd tell a customer.
- Oldest package first. When a product has more than one package open, sell from the oldest. Bring older stock forward when you restock a bin.
When flower or pre-rolls are out
Several flower and pre-roll items sold out last week. When what they want is gone, offer what we have:
- Flower brands in stock: Fade Co., Nature's Heritage, RYTHM, District Cannabis, In House.
- Pre-roll brands in stock: Nature's Heritage, Fade Co., 1937, Dogwalkers, District Cannabis.
- Or offer the same strain or brand in another format from the lists.
Know the product
For terpenes, potency and aroma on anything here, pull up the Product Guide (the bookmarked tab on every station) and use what it shows. Pick three products from this sheet at the start of your shift and look them up.
Ways to say it
"What do you usually pick up? And is that mostly flower, or do you use carts or edibles too?"
"Do you want something for when you're out and don't want to roll? We've got a few disposables and carts I'd point you to right now."
"We have that one. If you like it, this is the same size from a brand we've got a lot of right now. Want to see both?"
"Carts are on deal today, and this one's included. It's the one I'd grab."
Only if you've confirmed the deal covers it.
"Do you dab at all? We've got some badders and sugars in that don't get asked for much. I can show you a couple in your price range."
"Want something you don't have to smoke? These come in a few flavors, and I can show you the strength on each."
"I tried this one. Here's what I noticed: [flavor, how the hardware worked, how it burned]."
Your own experience, in your own words. Not a promise of what they'll feel.
"No problem. I'll have it here next time if you want to try it."
One offer per order. Don't push past a no.
- No medical claims. Don't say a product treats, cures or helps with any condition, or that it will make someone feel a certain way. Share what's on the label and in the Product Guide.
- Nothing about age or dates. Don't tell a customer a product is old, slow or close to its date. It's a product we're featuring.
- No deal you haven't confirmed. If you're not sure it applies, check before you quote it.
- MED items are for patients and caregivers only.
