Please buy! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
Trade Your Way To The USA is back and it's tougher than ever. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
Today, some of Britain's best young traders will be tested to the max. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
Let's meet the two teams who have dared take our challenge. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
It's Street Smart Sellers versus Carpe Diem. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
ALL: We're Carpe Diem, and we're going to trade our way to the USA. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
This trading trio from Bolton are all brothers. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
They're Aamir, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Rayyan | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
and Umar. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Our team is called Carpe Diem because it means 'seize the day' in Latin. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
And that's what we're all about doing - seizing the moment. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
Carpe Diem, how can I help you? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
Brothers make a great team because we've always stuck together | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
and nothing has ever brung us apart. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
These business brains already know how to make a profit. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Carpe Diem's biggest money-makers - personalised phone cases. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
We turn something like this, which costs us pennies, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
into something like this, which makes us lots of pounds. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
Together, they're the complete package. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
Aamir is the team's head honcho. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
In every great team you need a brilliant leader. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
I'm going to drive my team to victory. Pathetic! Come on! | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
If we're going to win this thing we need stamina! Come on!! | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
Rayyan can make a sale, whatever the weather. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
I'm the team's sales specialist, and I sell with the seasons. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
In the winter, I sell woolly hats. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
In February, I sell Valentine's chocolates. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
In the summer, I sell sunglasses. Now, these are what people want. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
Youngest brother Umar sells home-made cakes. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
He's sure he's got the recipe for success. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
I've got flair, I've got imagination... | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
..and that's what's going to help our team win. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
ALL: We're Carpe Diem and we're going to seize the day | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
and trade our way to the USA. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
ALL: We're the Street Smart Sellers, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
and we're here to trade our way to the USA. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
This girl group are from Sutton in Surrey. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
They're sisters Maddy... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
That's how it's done! | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
..Tabby... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
..and best friend Evie. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
I think our team can win because we've kind of got it all as a group | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
and we work really well together and we get on, like, never argue. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
We're, like, mega team. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Street Smart Sellers already run their own successful | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
jewellery business. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
Our strategy is to take things with low cost | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
-and turn them into... -Big bucks. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
ALL: We're Street Smart Sellers because we're all smart | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
and we're ready for action. Bring it on! | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
The battle lines have been drawn between two teams of tough traders. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
Girl power from Street Smart Sellers versus Carpe Diem, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
the brothers with business brains. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
But only the team that makes the most money | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
can win today's challenge. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
The teams have arrived in Manchester | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
with no idea what their trading challenge will be. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
All they do know is that they have to win to stand a chance | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
of competing in our USA grand final. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
Welcome to Manchester. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
You're here because tomorrow there's an enormous festival | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
to celebrate the Chinese New Year. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
It's the year of the Dragon | 0:05:26 | 0:05:27 | |
and over 65,000 people are expected to join in with the festivities. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
That's a lot of potential customers. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
Your challenge is to sell a selection | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
of glow-in-the-dark products. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
They could be from glasses to glow sticks, face paints to fingernails. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
You're going to have to choose which products to buy, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
negotiate the lowest prices... | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
..and then sell, sell, sell. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
The team that makes the most money wins the challenge. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Here are your trading funds. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
I've given each team £75 to trade with. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Street Smart Sellers, are you ready? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
-Carpe Diem, are you ready? -ALL: -Yes! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
Let's buy! | 0:06:16 | 0:06:17 | |
The battle is on. The teams have £75 to spend. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
Buying the right products now is crucial to winning this challenge. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
Now, before you buy any product, you really need to understand | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
exactly what it is you're selling. So I've brought you here to meet | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
your expert, Mark. He's going to show you exactly how to make money | 0:06:37 | 0:06:43 | |
from glow-in-the-dark products. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
This is your market research time. Here are your notebooks. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
Are you ready? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-ALL: Yes! -Let's buy! | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
The teams have just 15 minutes to learn all they can | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
about goods that glow in the dark. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
They must make every question count. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
What's your most popular item? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
We sell lots of the glow sticks, the bracelets, | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
the urchin pendants and the spike pendants. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
They're our biggest sellers. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
Do you know in them tubes what are they? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
These are hair colorants. They're OK for people having parties, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
but maybe not so good for the Chinese New Year. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Which is most appropriate for the challenge we're doing? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
Depends who you think you'll be selling to - | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
younger children have that sort of thing, adults will want the glasses. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
(Both teams are demonstrating excellent questioning skills. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
(They've already asked what are the top sellers | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
(and what products would be appropriate for their challenge. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
(I'm very happy.) | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
What is RRP on the foam tubes? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
I suggest you sell for a pound. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Excellent from Maddy, asking about RRP - | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
that's Recommended Retail Pricing. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
She's demonstrating great business awareness. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
Any more questions? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
If there was one product you'd recommend to get, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
which would you say it is? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
I would say go for the spike balls. One of our biggest sellers, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
they look good, go for the spike balls. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
OK, teams, your time for questioning is up. Thank you very much, Mark. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
Now you've got to decide how you're going to spend your £75. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
So, guys, we've got £75. How shall we spend it? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
We've got to try and spend it as well as we can, | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
so let's think about this really carefully. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-Huh? -Yeah. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
If I were doing the challenge, I'd invest my £75 on two products - | 0:08:34 | 0:08:39 | |
Mark's best-sellers, the spike balls, | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
and his biggest profit makers, the glow-in-the-dark bracelets. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
'These bracelets can be turned into anything | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
'from glasses to bunny ears.' | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
I'd buy both in bulk to negotiate the best prices. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
But what will the teams do? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
OK, so 20 to 30 starfish, | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
154 glow bands, 100 glasses and ball and things. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
£30 LED blue stars and rings and glasses frame. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
If we have enough money... | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
'That's a very long list.' | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Carpe Diem are struggling | 0:09:13 | 0:09:14 | |
to decide exactly what their business strategy is. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
..and £15 into spike balls. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Are the girls doing any better? | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
-Spiky balls. -Right, spiky balls is right. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Mark said they were popular. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
These are going to be the best-sellers, these bracelets. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
OK, girls, so, Tabby, what has caught your eye and why? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
We're going to buy these bracelets, | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
because we can make loads of things out of these | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
and he said they make the most profit and they are his best-sellers. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
You are going to go and negotiate now. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
What's your strategy for negotiation? | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
We're definitely going to buy in bulk, | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
because the price should go down. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
'It's a great business strategy,' | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
but the boys are also sure they've got what it takes to win. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
We think we'll start at a low price | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
and work our way up and meet with him. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
And also buy in bulk order, so we get discount and hopefully get it cheap. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
OK. Sounds like you've got a plan. I'll see you in the negotiation. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
Carpe Diem are convinced that buying a wide variety of products | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
will make them the most money. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
Street Smart Sellers reckon bulk buying bracelets | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
and turning them into lots of different items | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
will bring them the cash. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:30 | |
But it's down to who can negotiate the best deals | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
for their glow-in-the-dark goods. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
This will be the toughest negotiation | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
they've ever had to face. But to win this challenge, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
they must get great deals now. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
First, it's the girls. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
They need to know exactly what they want to buy | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
with their £75 trading fund to get the better of Mark. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-OK, what would you like to buy? -OK. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
We've been looking at these spiky balls. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-How much do you sell them individually at? -At £1.10. -£1.10. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
So if we bought 20, how much would that cost us? | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
It would cost you £22. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
How about £12? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
No. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
-Will you meet us halfway? -N-n.... | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
£16? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:18 | |
OK. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
The girls have come in with a firm handshake, | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
sat down and negotiated £6 off the best-selling product. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
Can't ask for better than that. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-These bracelets, they're 100 in the pack? -Yes. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
And they are all different colours? | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
-Yes. There are five different colours. -How much for 100? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-£6 per 100. -We were hoping to get three packs for £10. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
-No. -OK. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Will you give us £5 a pack? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
How about £5.50 a pack? | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
£15.50 for three packs. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
-16. -£15.90. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Just 10p. 10p, it makes a big difference. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
My top tip in any negotiation is hold your nerve. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
You can't let your guard down and Maddy is demonstrating that. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
Er, OK. OK. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
The girls negotiated brilliantly and got some great deals. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
They're a tough act to follow. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
The boys are next. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
They had a very long wish list. I only hope | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
they've decided what they're going to get with their £75. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
What do you want to get? Glow bands. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:35 | |
So, the 100 glow bands, I think we should buy them. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
We could sell 100 and make it for about 20 quid. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-Are they connected with...? -No, you get them... Shall we get five? | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
They're spending a lot of time | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
trying to pick the products they want. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
They're not giving themselves a lot of time for negotiation. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
I'm a bit concerned. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
Because we're buying 400 glow bands, could you do it for £20? | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
That's 20% off, isn't it? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Could you do £21.20? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
Yeah, OK. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
Ten starfish, how much are they? £8? | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
£9. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
£8.70, please. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
£9. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
£8.90. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:22 | |
-OK. -Thank you. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
And how much are the fibre-optic hair bands? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-The fibre-optic hair bands are £2.50 each. -We'd do five of them. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
Which is £12.50, isn't it? Yeah? | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
Shall we ask for one more for free? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Um, please can we have one more fibre-optic hair band for free? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
-So you want six for £12.50? -Yes, please. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
Um... | 0:13:53 | 0:13:54 | |
-OK, OK. -Thank you very much. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Well done. I love that. They got something for free. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
Great negotiation. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
-So how much does it all come to, please? -What have you got there? | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-£44.95. -It's more than that. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
They haven't been writing down the prices. They're not keeping track | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
of what they're buying. My top tip in any negotiation | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
is write down the prices | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
and look at what the numbers are telling you. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
That way, you can't go far wrong. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
-I think it's £69. -It is. You've got some money you haven't spent. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
-Could we get some more stars and hearts, please? -OK. -Thank you. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
The girls spent half their £75 trading fund | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
on 20 best-selling spiked balls and 300 glow sticks. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
They also invested in 25 foam sticks at 76p each. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
It's a big gamble, but will it pay off? | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
The boys didn't buy any of the best-selling spiked balls. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
Will that be a decision they regret? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
They did buy hair bands, hearts, stars, starfish and 400 glow sticks. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
I just hope there's enough time to sell them all. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:13 | |
Tomorrow, one team will shine brightly. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
For the other, it's lights out. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
Today, the competition hots up. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Street Smart Sellers take on Carpe Diem. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Both are desperate to win | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
and get one step closer to the Trade Your Way To The USA grand final. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:42 | |
Because the team that takes the most money today at Chinese New Year | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
will be in with a chance of becoming Britain's best young traders. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
Good morning, Carpe Diem. Good morning, Street Smart Sellers. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:57 | |
You're here in Manchester, where over 65,000 people | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
are expected to celebrate the Chinese New Year. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
You have two hours to sell your glow-in-the-dark goods. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
Remember, the team that makes the most money wins the challenge | 0:16:07 | 0:16:12 | |
and they will stand a chance of trading their way to the USA | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
and becoming Britain's best young traders. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
Are you ready? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
-All: Yes! -Let's set up. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
The teams need to get ready for when the visitors arrive. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
-Let's get going, guys. -Street Smart Sellers have a secret weapon | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
they think will beat the boys. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
We've worked out Chinese figures that mean "glow-in-the-dark products". | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
It's one of our winning strategies! | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
Great idea, girls, but in order to sell, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
it's vital the teams get their prices right. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
So what's the plan? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
We're going to sell these for £5, or three for £12.50. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
So you've some discount set up? | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
'Carpe Diem's strategy to get them to the USA is the more you buy,' | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
the cheaper the price. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
But the girls aren't giving up without a fight. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
Most of them are £3, like these, those and the starfish. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:09 | |
They paid 80p each, so at £3, that gives them a £2.20 profit. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
The foam sticks are £5. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
Hang on, they only paid 76p for each of those sticks! | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
If they don't sell, | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
'it could cost them a place in the semi-finals.' | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
-Are you feeling confident? -ALL: Yes! | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
OK, I'll see you later. Good luck. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
'Their stalls are set. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
'Tens of thousands of potential customers are heading their way. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
'Let the battle begin.' | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Teams, are you ready? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:17:45 | 0:17:46 | |
-Three, two, one, start trading. -KLAXON | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
One starfish, £3. Two for a fiver. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
All of our prices are here. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
There you go. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
Thank you. We made our first sale, a necklace for £3. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
The boys are off to a flying start. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
Glow-in-the-dark glasses! One for a fiver, three for a tenner. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
My top trading tip for demonstrating products, show them off. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
Wear them so that customers can see exactly what they are | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
and how they'll look. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:18 | |
-Are these Chinese-y? -No, not really. -How much are they? | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
£4. Two for £7. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-Thanks. Thank you very much. -Rayyan has made another £7 sale | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
and taken Carpe Diem one step closer to America. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
I'm feeling pretty confident that we can win this thing. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
He may well be right. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:37 | |
The team that makes the most money wins, and only metres away, | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
the girls don't seem to be selling a thing. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
No-one's interested. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
I'm surprised at Street Smart Sellers, | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
because before they were so confident about selling, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
now they seem to have stage fright. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-Spiky pendants! -No-one's coming. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
You guys try as well, because I can't just do it. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
Guys, you've got to come forward and do it. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
Would you be interested in buying our glow-in-the-dark goods? | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
Not going very well. We haven't really sold much at all. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
We've just got to work harder and get some more confidence and happiness, | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
because Tabby and Evie are getting really depressed. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
Because they're too scared to go up to people. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Selling is not easy and if you get down in the dumps about it, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
your customers will pick up on your body language and they won't buy. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
30 minutes in and Street Smart Sellers' dreams of winning | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
seem shattered. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
Get your glow-in-the-dark glasses! | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
One for five quid, three for 12 quid. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
-Street Smart Sellers, how's it going? -Badly. -Not very good. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
-What's wrong? -There doesn't seem to be many people around. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
Excuse me, there are thousands of people here! | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
Nobody really wants these glow-in-the-dark goods. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
You've got to be passionate and confident | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
and make your customers come to you! | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Come on! Do you want to win this or not? Let's go for it! | 0:20:06 | 0:20:11 | |
-Glow-in-the-dark goods! -Would you like to have a look? | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
Would you be interested? | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
We've got rings and we've got little flashing starfish. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
Finally, Street Smart Sellers are demonstrating their products | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
and they are getting customers. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:28 | |
We've got some wicked pink rings. They're only £2. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
One hour to go. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:38 | |
So, Carpe Diem, how's it going? | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
It's going really well, we have sold quite a lot. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
What's your best-seller so far? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
Our best-seller has been the starfish. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:49 | |
-Have you sold out of those? -We've got about four left. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
What's not selling so well? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
I think these glow sticks and the glasses and things. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
OK, and you bought 400 of those, didn't you? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
'To be in with a chance of winning today, and competing in the USA,' | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
Carpe Diem need to sell those glow sticks. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
'And for both teams, time is running out.' | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
-How's it going? -Quite well. -Better. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
And which has been your best-seller? | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
The best-sellers are the rings and the pendants. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
We haven't sold these. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
We thought these would be our best-sellers, but they're not. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
'In business, no-one gets it right all the time.' | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
The trick is to realise your mistakes. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
With half an hour to go, the girls do just that. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
£2! £2 for these. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
We're selling these for £2 when we originally wanted | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
to sell them for £5. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
So not so great, but we have to because none of them have been sold. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
Only £2! | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
The foam sticks cost 76p each, so even at £2, | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
it's still a fantastic profit. Well done, Maddy. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
Thank you. Have a nice day, happy Chinese New Year. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
So how are Carpe Diem doing with those 400 glow sticks? | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
Um, you know your stall, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-do you think it looks pretty? -No. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
Are you just going to leave it like that? | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
-Put them at the back. I told you to tidy up before. -I tried. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
-I didn't know it was all there. -Just do it! | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
With 15 minutes to go, who will pull it off? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
Everything must go! £1 for everything. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
They got off to a slow start, but there's no stopping the girls now. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
Everything here's £1! | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
-These are £1 each? -Yes. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
I got quite a good deal here. I got one, two, three, four, five, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
-a fiver's worth. -Glow-in-the-dark products, glow in the dark. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
Sometimes in business, it doesn't matter how much profit you make | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
as long as you make something. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
50% off! Half price! | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
Carpe Diem bought 400 glow sticks. With just minutes left, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
they have to sell them. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
You snap them, then you shake them and they glow in the dark. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
We need some help at the store. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
OK, you do these. Take some of them as well. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
-How much is it? -100 for £10. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
What? | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
Three for ten? £10. Deal. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
This man's doing a good job. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
There's only one minute left and it's all to play for. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
Every penny counts. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:26 | |
Everything is now 50p! | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
Everything must go! | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
-Would you like to buy some glow sticks? -Take it all. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
-Thank you very much. -Nine, eight... | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
Thank you so much. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
'Unbelievable. With seconds to spare,' | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
'Aamir sold 100 glow sticks for £10, double what he paid for them.' | 0:23:42 | 0:23:47 | |
-Two, one, stop trading. -KLAXON | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Boys, stop trading. Can I have your cash box? Good luck. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:00 | |
I need your cash box. Thank you. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
We're in it to win it. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:05 | |
We made the last sales in the last ten minutes, | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
which was £10 in the last ten seconds. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
I think we're definitely in with a chance of winning, | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
so hopefully we will win it. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
I'm relieved it's over, because it was quite stressful. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
I'm not sure we won, but we tried our best. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
But we all really want to win, so... | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
ALL: Fingers crossed! | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
They bought, they sold | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
and they closed deal after deal. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
But now it's time to find out who's won the challenge | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
and is still in the running to go to our USA grand final. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
Welcome to Manchester's Royal Exchange. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
At one time, this was the largest trading room in the world, | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
so the perfect place to reveal today's winning team. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
Remember, 1,500 young traders applied to be in your shoes. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:06 | |
Only 14 teams made it through. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
You should be very proud of yourselves. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
Only one team can win the challenge | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
and only they stand a chance of trading their way to the USA | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
and becoming Britain's best young traders. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
The cash has been counted. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
Carpe Diem. You made... | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
..£81.60. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
Street Smart Sellers... | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
..you made... | 0:25:43 | 0:25:44 | |
..£168.50. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
Congratulations. You're our winners! | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
'Street Smart Sellers are today's winners | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
'and are in with a chance of competing in the USA.' | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
-I'm feeling so excited! -Yeah, we're really proud. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
And we can't wait, like, to find out what's next. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
We're going to be a much better team of traders after this experience. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
As you they say, you learn from your mistakes. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
We made quite a lot of them. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
We might not have won today, but we've had great fun, | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
we've had great experience. It's been a truly amazing time. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
We're going to keep trading and keep making money. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
Street Smart Sellers, | 0:26:28 | 0:26:29 | |
you've demonstrated some excellent business skills. Well done. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
That earns you a place on our leaderboard. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
'Along with the winner of each heat.' | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Only these teams stand a chance of getting to the final. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
Street Smart Sellers' £168.50 knocks DNA into third place. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:47 | |
But will it be enough to keep them in second position? | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
Because only the four teams that make the most money | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
go on to fight it out in the semi-finals. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
The most successful people in business demonstrate | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
strong leadership in difficult situations. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
They roll their sleeves up, get stuck right in and never give up. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
These are the traits we saw today in our winning team | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
and their skills are worth remembering | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
if one day you to want to trade your way to the USA. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
Next time on Trade Your Way To The USA, two more teams do battle. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
-What would you say at 20p? -Absolutely no. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
You're not doing very well, because you're not demonstrating. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
Get your circus goods! | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
