Entrepreneur Shocked At Investment Proposal | Dragons' Den 

Oh yeah. By year two we'll have this many consultants and make soooo much money. Typical MLM

I don't know... if you get 3 friends to get 3 friends, and then they go get 3 friends... imagine the possibilities!!!! 🤣

@@Noelhall88 yeah within about 4 iterations of that the market is saturated and there are 120 people trying to flog the same gear in your town. For all you know your neighbour is also running the parties so you are in direct competition with them whether you know it or not.

Actually even today, the party model can work for certain categories. Tupperware, Oriflame and products like these can definitely work through the party model. However considering digital ecosystems, and the crucial 5 degrees of separation rule, this will always be a small business. The moment a crucial sales volume is achieved, the parent company will go direct or settle with a distributor.

Surely the hitch is getting customers who want the product

But 6,000,000 divided by 500 consultants is only £12,000 top line sales per consultant per year. Peanuts.

@@Otto72ish Neither of you have factored in salaries for the consultants. They will need a significant share of those profits, otherwise why would they bother?

lol a legend for standing and saying nothing? independent strong women incoming

@@mrbdrm2 yeah so strong and independent she needed her husband to advise her and bank roll her vanity project...... oops! burn the bra!

bless the poor weak woman eh needs her big strong husband to stand alongside her. the man is er...remarkable, what a stander he is. its the greatest puece of standing ive seen in a while when weak women are concerned. the guy is a legend

It’s not a pyramid scheme.. it’s more of a franchise model.. and they both said they would change the business model

You clearly don't know what a pyramid scheme is.

Pyramid schemes ARE necessarily bad.

It wasn’t one! 🤷🏼‍♀️

What about Pizza Jones & Theo the fetus?

Theo Meatus, Peter Bones, and Deborah Freedom type beat

I never understood his last name until this comment 🤛🏾👍

Me too thought his name was valentine

I thought it was ballintyne

“On the web” is also an old fashioned way of referring to “Online”…. :))

I guess some people are not internet savvy, I think she presented really well.

Had a friend that got tricked into the Mary Kay stuff... :P

I bet that was taken from another part of the pitch and edited in

She'll be accepting 2 people per day in a very busy year. How do you not see this succeed?

@@Hutchyy on my other channel i edited clips of random news about Boris speaking

Yeah, I found that to be quite Childish and unprofessional!

😂

Cant believe theyre still showing this nonse.

Well done. He deserves every comedic piece of banter 🤣

What happened?

He used to be a children's entertainer and is also renowned for loving his own children, it's wholesome banter​@@elizabethwood7747

Whereas you can sell anything you like for adult consumption?

you've got to try your luck! i also think the husband brought some confidence in the den for his honesty!

Because it’s very clear from the first few seconds, that this woman is pitching a pyramid scheme (MLM).

Tell me you don't know what editing is without telling me you don't know what editing is.

Website isn’t the original one Ian - it’s quite amusing how much assumption is in this comments thread!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Some pure and utter arrogant in-it-for-myself pieces of **** sitting in that Den.

👏🏾💯

You are quite literally the most disrespectful, self entitled person I've ever heard.

💯

She’s pitching a pyramid scheme to them

Scaling down her projection of 500 consultants generationg £6 mln turnaround / £1,8 mln profit and taking into account possible errors and unforseen costs the company should be generating *around £3,000,000 turnaround and £1 million profit* , but the latest financial report I can find is from 2013, despite their website being updated in 2022 and an article where they say the company is 11 years old (the company was found in 2008, so the article seems to be from 2019/2020). I also found a website where their revenue is £5 million, but I can't find the year of the report.

Search says company was dissolved 6 December 2016. Last report was 2013. I am just happy for them to get a shot at all. I have a feeling that clamp down child birth may have contributed to the dissolution, also maybe they went on to something better. I hope so.

@@ayoabraham7044 The deal with Peter fell through. She took a business partner, but was ultimately bought out by her. Check out my post on the main page, I've compiled all the data + I found an article written by Julie, where in first paragraph she detailed her business journey with the company from 2005 to 2017 (when the article was written). I've deleted unnecessary information and made an abridged version of it. I don't want to write it all again here, but I think you will dig it. I wrote it an hour ago, so my comment should be relatively easy to find. Have a nice day ^_^

@@ayoabraham7044 that looks like a different company. There is no mention of Julie White under “people”

Freaking MLM. Amazing how many people fall for those

Seems to be a different person and spam now. Seems she runs live it love it sell it now

Yep I do run Live it Love it Sell it! 😊 and I’ve loved reading this comments thread - it’s very clear nobody knew what actually happened

well she did split from her husband (according to her blog) ...

😂😂😂

When was the above clip made ? i wonder what percentage of companies taken on by the dragons fail ?

It was made in 2007

Thank you Oxfordshire Man - I have a wonderfully successful business now and am very happy - I learnt a lot!

I have always wanted to get into cryptocurrencies. I appreciate you sharing this information, but how can I get in touch with him

@@ellenjason4834 AlfredMaxwell

Hot, imagine that under you.

@@0deepak smh

@@kaput_hodge lol

@@0deepak Oh look, an incel.

@@0deepak cringe

Wikipedia says 4 successful deals in season 1 and 1 successful deal in season 2.

I personally wouldn't want to work with her.

I don't like Rachel or Doug.

Trump would buy the lot!

It's lunch to me.

If you don’t know. Then it’s a good thing you are not the producer. Even the producers know how he made his money.

@@cekojuna6930 dude Peter has been ok shark tank in the states Duncan is a guy who counts Pennie’s and those people don’t take risk…. No risk no reward and one more thing I will buy and sell him over night…..

Ye back when Dragon's Den was good I agree

The idea is absolutely horrible, I would've just left the room after she mentioned "home parties"

What do you mean? Does she have an interesting backstory?

Probably tbh.

its like the 1st season ..way back must be something like 2005......today you see always these jenny gags she never invests.....douhg richards never his life invested,,,he every time negative has issues.......gold mine and dimond mine making 3million a day,,,,dont ask me how dough will find a reason not to invest......dimonds and gold will be worthless soon,,,something he will come up with.......

It's the second season, theo paphitas replacing Simon woodruffe

@@dominich2263 oh yeah....thats right.....simon guy.......i knew was one the early ones.....

2005

Look it up . She made 300 consultants with many millions turnover before selling up in 2010. How much have you made Mr delusional ?

🤣🤣🤣

wasn't just young companies he was giving his seed to

Absolute creep 🤮

Lmao

@@jenbeulke6395 me or Doug?

Yes. 100%

It is indeed an MLM

Or maybe they just add more drama? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
