I want you to design a new shoe range for women.
You'll need to create the first shoe in your range, plan and host your own launch event,
before you pitch your concept to retailers.
Shopping for urban props to promote their shoe: Rick, Jasmine and Kurran.
Right, what I wanna take is the throne, the lion's head, the barrel and the speaker.
Can you just do the whole thing for £200?
I think the best I can do if you want to take all 4, it is £240.
That is the best price I can do.
I didn't think it would cost this much in the first place, just for hiring things.
I can get a barrel for £10, but no offence.
They're actually very expensive.
Well, can we do £220 then?
Right, thank you very much.
Appreciate that.
Jasmine was just going on and on and ultimately we need to get the item, we need to get on
with the day.
We can't spend hours and hours debating over 2 items, so I literally took control and said
'we're having this, this and this' get the deal done and then we get out of here.
Really don't think we need to make the canopes look epically brilliant.
I think all we need to do is make the food and get it in people's mouths.
They do need to look good and they do need to taste good.
It looks like a car crash.
We're making one to see what it tastes like.
Is there not a machine that we can use to do this with?
Yes, the machine is called Rick.
It says roll one slice of prosciutto around a breadstick.
Done it.
But why have you snapped it in half?
Because as if we're gonna use one massive piece of breadstick like that.
Why not?
Because look at the - Right, if you've nothing to do -
No I've got plenty to do.
Crack on with it then.
No listen.
I'm telling you about presentation, so don't dismiss it when I then come over to help you.
Let's have it consistent.
It needs to look good.
I don't have time to spoon feed Rick today.
I need some attention to detail, I need somebody who's taking pride in what they're doing.
He's just quite happy to fool around and waste time in the kitchen.
There's a lot of breadstick on that.
So why don't we just do them like that then?
We'll make them like a lollypop.
Lovely.
Proposing a deal to a bridal shoe distributor -
I'd love it if we could convince you to
even place a small order with us today.
- Jasmine.
Yellow is a wedding colour and you have lots of bridesmaids that are wearing yellows.
You don't have a particular palette of colours we can look at?
It is literally that shoe in that colour, and that is unfortunately all we can discuss
at the moment.
I mean, if it is a shoe you want to place an order for, then obviously we can answer
all your questions and everything else.
But what we don't want to do is waste time, without offending.
Could we have 2 minutes?
Ladies - Ok, Rick.
Please don't speak, because you're just offending them.
No, no.
Listen to me, we are not wasting time talking to someone who is not interested in buying.
They are interested in buying.
They're not interested in buying.
He said straight away it's not the colours he wants and he's talking about all these
variations which we can't offer.
Rick, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave if you're gonna carry on like this.
This is really embarrassing.
Jasmine don't speak to me like that.
Calm down.
So what's our strategy when you go back.
You won't be saying anything please.
See what they've decided.
We can get an order.
Rick is quite difficult in a team when things are not going his way.
You get lots of huffing and puffing and sulking and moodiness, to the point where they were
bickering in front of a potential customer.
At the end of the day, it's just not professional.
Guys, you know we'd love to be able to put in an order with you today.
We really want you to support our new brand.
How about 144 for £25.
Thank you.
Right.
Now, marketing team.
Jasmine took that long in closing her sale.
We were wasting so much time, we had to move on and get -
Rick your approach was bish,
bash, bosh, that's how you wanted to bulldoze through it.
It didn't work.
That was your approach in the kitchen, that's how you wanted to do the canopes.
That's how you wanted to sell.
I actually believe that we could've closed - if you'd just let me finish please.
I think we could've closed with some of the retailers we spoke to afterwards, but as soon
as there was one objection you wanted to walk away.
Jasmine you talk far too much.
