Teen on mission to be top NYC Girl Scout cookie seller for fourth year in a row — this is how she rakes in the cash

That's a lot of do-si-dough.

One of the smooth talk Manhattan Girl Scouts has become a thin mint Titan and smore sultan by being ranked among the best-selling cookie sellers in the five districts for the past three years.

Tribeca Teen Avianna Spatz says he's reached the top, from all the tricks to stare at cash, where he sets up the stands, to targeting customers and buying more patron stories.

Last year she slammed 5,060 boxes of jaw dropping.

For $7 a box, that's a profit of $35,420.

“It makes me feel happy because I know that hard work will pay off,” Aviana posted about her impressive feat.

The 13-year-old is once again focusing on top seeds. This time, I hope to get closer to yet another personal best on the 7,800 package Greater New York (GSGNY) record of Greater New York (GSGNY) record set for 2019.

“I'm going to be higher. My goal is to make it better,” she continued.

Avianna has her posts in Tagallon on one of her many missions, peering into how she seduces customers.

First and foremost, she explained. In addition to Union Square Park, Aviana has set up stores in front of Midtown's Citibankville and Washington Market in Meatpacking district.

“I like to go to the busiest places, and most people can start work during lunchtime,” explained Avianna.

Marketing With also tries to position her table near the transit hub.

Avianna humbly explained that the cookie itself is attractive enough to portray the customer, but when she has them in the clutch she goes in for the murder.

In an average of four hours, Avianna sells around 150 boxes. Stephen Yang

“If I want to be, I'm very persuasive. The Girl Scouts laughed.

“If they told me I like this cookie because I like chocolate, I tell them, “If you like chocolate, you'll want a Samoa or a Smoa. They're actually going to buy more than they intended.”

Avianna also showed off a secret weapon that many of its competitors don't have. Her five-year-old sister, Eliana, is eagerly scooping up Sign and screaming with passersby.

Even the most despicable speed walking New Yorkers can't rival the duo. Abianna sells an average of 150 boxes for each of the four-hour cookie sales sessions.

For customers, Avianna's tactics are nothing more than a genius.

“It's a convenient location near where we lived and we just passed it,” said flat iron Shirin Yabari, 24, after she and her three roommates picked up eight boxes of cookies.

“It's the perfect place. Just like the markets and pop-ups there, there's all these events in Union Square. There's a lot of traffic in this area,” added roommate Daniel Effrey, 24.

Their third roommate, Sierra Baker, 24, also pointed out that Aviana was the first girl scout they've seen since the cookie season began last month. “And we're dead for them!”

Similarly, 24-year-old Jess and Adian Sturgeon were forced to make a pit stop on their way to lunch when they found Aviana's stand.

“Most people in the city are just trying to get a place they go, and if something is approaching, they'll get it,” said Jess of Fort Green.

“What a good businessman!” Aidan added.

Avianna has a table arrangement average of four hours a day, four days a week, a rigorous process for eighth graders, raising her passion for academics and volleyball.

Aside from her mother and sister joining her, Aviana usually struggles alone – her troops have been disbanded during the pandemic, and she is now operating as something GSGNY blows away “Juliet.”

Her competitiveness has kept her in GSGNY for the past few years and helped her hone the skills of her people. Avianna is still thinking about what the business will look like.

“I'm so proud of her and I'm really pleased that she has something to do with her, not just when she's at school, but also something that has something to do with her. It really helped her grow, she makes this much more social and it's trying to help her a lot,” said her mother, Priscilla Spatz.

Whether she's on top for the fourth year in a row, Avianna looks forward to contributing to GSGNY. 100% of the profits are funding the learning experience back to GSGNY, the group said.

However, Avianna is optimistic to make 5,060 packages last year, selling 5,060 packages like peanuts.

If you're wondering, her favorite cookie is “it's adventurous.”
