They will never understand fixing things by themselves and the rewards from it.

@@ElJubranco many millions are spent on tools and materials which never actually get used/installed or get installed incorrectly and need to be replaced. If tradespeople were always honest and trustworthy many more people would (or at least should) hire professionals.

@@TealeafRogers Because her logic is that people don't DIY tiles, because her very rich husband pays other people to do it. Which is just not true. Plenty of people DIY tiling. And plenty of DIY folks have power tools that can cut tile.

@@danielkerr4100 Another rich person, not doing an inch of housework, claiming to be a hardworker. Sad really.

Spot on mate

I get your inclination to say that, but in reality YOU have no idea what you're talking about. The dragons are EXTREMELY good at what they do, and look at the BIG picture. They are seeing things and calculating things you have no clue about.

@@ruffsnap he is a business owner, he knows more than you do about this stuff

@@eugenekrabs367 Wrong, he is a tradesman, who multiple times admitted he had no idea what to do for next steps with his business and that's why he needed a dragon's help lmao And I've helped start and build multiple businesses, but nice try there ;)

@@ruffsnap In your fisrt post you mentioned calculating things that I don't know about. What calculations would this be other than profit margins, market capability, and demand? I just feel they were hyperfocussing on a simple mans simple mind. I also feel they focus too much on small hardware stores and DIY instead of the General Contracting market in the commercial and industrial supply stores. I'm sure someone has picked him up by now though. Sometimes products best speak for themselves.

She in no way "slammed" the product. She was just trying to get an understanding of the target market for this product and she was suggesting to the guy that he may be aiming the product at the wrong market. The other dragons are big enough to make their own minds up too.

Nonsense!..The other Dragons are all big boys & girls and can make their own minds up.

@@typhoontim125 Subconscious manipulation, if any at all

Seen Peter do that too. Suppose they're not called dragons for nothing.

she definitely did that. the other dragons loved the product up until she said it was only for traders, they trusted her because shes got business in the diy sector then when all the other dragons said no she removed the competition and got a great deal

He did, they removed it via cgi.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's because he already had 10 pints for breakfast so bringing a pint to the den would make him fall over mid pitch! 🤣🤣

That's a man who looks like he enjoys a pint but only after his work is done. He seems like the sort to earn his stop off at the pub.

lolwat, who tf places tiles themselves... literally everyone gets a tiler to place tiles for them, and tilers arent expensive. The comment that that dragon made was silly anyway because the product isnt aimed at people doing tiles themselves, its aimed at tilers. Edit: nvm, i just noticed 4 minutes in that he said that the product is aimed at people doing DIY themselves and not trades-people, lmao no one is going to buy this product because who tf is going to do their own tiles theirselves lmao, the product would sell well to trades-men but not to people doing DIY lol

@@BawlBag lmao what happened

Yeah or he’s pulling the “I just dont got the highly specialist tools for that job honey, maybe later”

I’ve done tile, and hate it. The price difference for me isn’t worth the cursing on that one.

Her husband probably assembled a shoe rack for her, and considers him a carpenter.

I think she was talking him down to deter the other dragons so that she could come back in with an offer later.

@@Matt_Alaric Honestly that's probably the more realistic explanation seeing as she did come around hard in the end. BUT the cliche is still funny, imo

Right?! If I have an appliance that has about 10 screws to remove, if I've got a hand tool or an impact.. I'm gonna use the impact. I dont have time to waste and energy to burn on mundane tasks.

and for 20 pounds? c'moooon

As one of the dragons said: It's not that it's bad invention - the problem is that it may not be worth investing. So what the product is great when the market for it is very niche? That's the biggest problem for such things.

Also, Tradesmen typically love new tools.

Yeah, but it doesn't matter how useful of a tool it is if you're not capable of marketing it or putting it on store shelves. For a guy that's spent 2 years developing this, to have only sent 3-4 emails to retailers and not bothered to think about how he'll go to market is a red flag.

On another note, it's quite sad how the dragons laugh about him thinking it funny that he accepted without negotiating at all. Well, good there is a process afterwards, hopefully he negotiated better then.

@@thee0581 I think 30% was a steal

@@Adam-yu5zj Of course it was, that's why all the dragons keep laughing at him. And Sara even says he will not lead any negotations on behalf of the business. If she has at least a minimum amount of decency, she will drop the percentage on her own.

Personally I think it was a great offer, he clearly had no idea which direction he wanted to go or where to start, he got great advice from them, and I think he mainly went in there to see what advice they would give, which allot of the dragons did give good advice.

@@thee0581 disagree. She's not only offering him money, she's offering him access to her own production and distribution which is what he was looking to spend the money on in the first place, that's why she's asking for more. 15% for the money, 15% for access. She's offering him so much more than he asked for and at 30% he not only still has majority control but he has enough left over in the event of later investments. Great deal for both of them if it works out, he gets fast tracked to success and she rightfully makes a tidy profit.

Hahahaha

That's quality.

Actually burst out laughing

😂

Order it!

Than get it

Yep, most the dragons don't see this as they pay everyone to do their stuff for them. Do it yourself and you'd know how useful it is.

It really truly is a slick little tool. Finds the exact center. Would take a bit with a tape to find it and even then you still wouldn't be center.

@@georgebowyer5170 My dad taught me the old fashioned way. Take about a dozen measurements, make a bunch of little tick marks with the pencil, drill your holes, realize it wasn't right, swear for a bit, refill coffee, swear some more, use the tile you ruined to figure out how far off you were, mark where the holes should have been, use the sacrificial tile as a template, finally get it to work, lunch break.

@@grogdocr 😂😂😂😂👍

Thank you lol 😂

I agree. Also he has no contacts to get it into a store or even to get a meeting. So it’s a good deal

Exactly. Plus, the dragon brings to table the entirety of both manufacturing and marketing, which is a lot. 30% sounds like a small price to pay considering he offered 15% for just the money.

@@noctisocculta4820 To compound on that, 30% is in no way a majority share. So it's still his business... he's just now making 70% of the profits without having to invest his own money into the startup. That's a HUGE win. With her manufacturing getting the costs down to $2 each and selling them for $19.99, that's $18. So $12.60 into his pocket instead of the $3 he was getting manufacturing them himself.

yea when she said she could handle getting the manufacturing price even lower and get it done for him he was thinking he barely has to do anything just sit back and collect paychecks now

Exactly. He created a solution to a problem that he had faced, but had no idea how to sell it. He found someone who could not only help him sell it, but also reduce the manufacturing cost on a unit, thus further increasing the profits for both of them. It was a brilliant deal all around.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Man I imagined his voice saying that.

Are you a troll? why would you imagine him drinking when nothing about drinking was in the video?

I was about the say the same, she's always very respectful in that sense. Other dragons would have definitely milked him more

whos Sarah?

Agreed. Good offer.

I would of taken all of the money for 40%. I wasn’t expecting her to say 30%

Peter offer would have been "50% but only if I get 33% of your kid's inheritance, house, their toys"

The funny thing is, most tools on the market are used by trademen and DIYers. I mean sure there's cheap and expensive tools. But at the end of the day a hammer is a hammer.

It’s interesting you say that, I’m a electrician and contrary to what he’s said, we do actually have to lay pipes.. we just call them conduit. When I’m working as a electrician, I’m a tradesman; but if I have to cut a cupboard, concrete, or do something a little out of the ordinary; at that point I’m more of a DIYer

He brought in no ego, just straight business.

😅

And a few bar fights

Why so many references to alcohol/drinking? The video showed nothing about drinking.

@@user-yp3oj5se1i because who wouldn't like to have a drink with him?

@@BawlBag Maybe because nobody has time to run a full interpersonal skills audit and historical background check on everybody they've ever seen in a video. If you've got something to say about the guy, say it.

Funny thing… he’s not american or even in America lmao

He can also identify and accept his own weaknesses in selling the product. This guy prob will shoot off

@@BawlBag thats the impression he made m8…. Thats kinda how it works. If he did something else, the audiences impression would change. But we havent seen that. I dont understand what your point is

Saying less helps to do that. Talking too much is a real problem.

I wasn’t sure at first but due to the way he was just stood there staring at her I think you’re right haha

i thought that aswell, hehe, im not sure he knew the rules completely but that yep after the 30% offer was it.i think the Dragons loved him aswell.

@@haunter4708 in fairness most of that stuff like the long stares are just in the editing. It flowed more naturally in reality

...nor mention of Mrs P.

you want 100 thousand quid of my childrens inheritance??!!

Tbf, she would have to do most of the business side of things, take it to market and use another company to make the product cheaper I think 30% is a cracking deal for the guy tbf!

Being trades people we understand this space more than 4/5ths of these investors That's why everyone should be teachable!

@@zwenkwiel816 I honestly think there are dozens more applications in diy

@@zwenkwiel816 I dunno, doing DIY, you often end up buying one off tools for the job you're doing. If you're tiling a whole room, probably going to be buying tiles, spacers, grout, tile cutter etc. Once all that's in your trolley and you see this bit of kit for £20, you're getting that as well.
