0:00:43 > 0:00:47- This one. - ..negotiate the lowest price...
0:00:47 > 0:00:48What would you say at 20p a nose?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Let's meet the two teams who dared take our challenge.
0:01:43 > 0:01:49It's Bargain Buckets versus the Three Riskateers.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Three Riskateers from Bristol are all best friends.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59James, Ethan and Dylan already have a wealth of trading experience,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03raising a tasty amount of money for charity.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08We raised over £500 at a BBQ selling burgers and sausages at £3 a time.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Now, THAT is a meaty profit.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Drummer Dylan is the team's creative manager.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18When it comes to competition, I definitely won't get beaten.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Top cricketer Ethan means business on and off the field.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26In sport, you have to be confident, determined
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and an excellent team player. I have all of these attributes
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and because of that, we have every chance to win.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And last but not least, it's team leader James.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Nothing will stand in my way. If I mean business, I mean business!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44ALL: We are the Three Riskateers, cos no matter how big the risk,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46we'll always be top of the list.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48THEY GIGGLE
0:02:48 > 0:02:53We're the Bargain Buckets and we're going to trade our way to the USA!
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Whoo!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- This girl group of Nell... - Hello!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- ..Ffion...- Anyone there?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- ..and Bethany... - Hello!- ..come from Mid Wales
0:03:03 > 0:03:05and already run their own selling sideline.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10This card cost us 3p to buy, and with a bit of glitter and glue,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14it turned into this card, which will be sold for 30p,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17which is 1,000% profit. That's not bad, eh?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18ALL: Voila!
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Team negotiator Bethany packs a big punch.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I won't stop fighting till I've given knockout blows
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- in the competition. - Nell has the creative brains.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32We are going to win.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Finally, it's team leader Ffion.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40It'll be checkmate and victory for Bargain Buckets.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45ALL: We're the Bargain Buckets, and we're the Welsh wizards,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48and we're going to trade our way to the USA. Whoo!
0:03:52 > 0:03:58It's Three Riskateers versus Bargain Buckets, but only one can win,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00and that's the team that makes the most money,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04and only they stand a chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Today's trading titans have arrived in Blackpool.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13They've no idea what the challenge will be,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15but they know they need to win
0:04:15 > 0:04:20if they want to be in with a chance of competing in our USA grand final.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Welcome to Blackpool.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Tomorrow, the spectacular all-singing,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30all-dancing Shazam circus festival will kick off.
0:04:30 > 0:04:3325,000 people will spend tens of thousands of pounds
0:04:33 > 0:04:36in the next few days.
0:04:36 > 0:04:43Your challenge is to sell to them a selection of circus novelties -
0:04:43 > 0:04:47juggling balls, spinning plates, clown noses, face paints.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50You'll get to choose which products to buy,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53negotiate the lowest prices and then sell, sell, sell.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59Remember, the team that makes the most money wins the challenge.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Here are your trading funds.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07The Three Riskateers, Bargain Buckets,
0:05:07 > 0:05:12I've given you each £75 to trade with. Are you ready?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- ALL: Yeah!- Let's buy.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22The teams have £75 to buy their circus goods.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25What they choose will be vital to their victory.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27The competition is on.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31The first rule of buying is to really understand the product
0:05:31 > 0:05:35that you're selling. I've brought you to Butterfingers,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38which is the largest circus wholesaler in the country.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Now, in my business experience,
0:05:40 > 0:05:44I've learned that learning a new skill is invaluable,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46and my top tip to you is this -
0:05:46 > 0:05:50don't be scared to have a go at something new.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Really get stuck in.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Demonstrating your products will be key. So, here are your books.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Remember to ask the right questions,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03because that will help you to identify which products to sell
0:06:03 > 0:06:05and hopefully win the task.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Are you ready?- ALL: Yes!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11No clowning around - let's go!
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Stef Metcalfe's family has run this business for almost 30 years,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19so from balancing peacock feathers to spinning diabolos,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21she knows the tricks of the trade.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26The teams have just 15 minutes to learn all they can from her
0:06:26 > 0:06:29about turning circus stash into serious cash,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31so every question counts.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32What's your best seller?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Spinning plates, and diabolos are a really popular item.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41That's a fantastic opening question. What's your best seller?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43You can't get better than that.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46If you could pick three items to sell, what would you choose?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I would take, again, spinning plates...probably clown noses.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52The one thing I would definitely take with me is the diabolo,
0:06:52 > 0:06:53which is our best seller.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I'm always going on about asking the right questions,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58and Bethany has demonstrated that.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02She's been very specific - what are your top three selling products?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05From that, she should now know which products to buy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- How much are the noses? - 50p... 60p, sorry.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- And how much do you sell those for? - About £1.50.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16James is focused on price, and he's asking
0:07:16 > 0:07:19the difference between a wholesale price and a retail price.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24That means he's working out the profit margins. Savvy!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- What are the prices of peacock feathers?- 50p.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32OK, teams, your time is up. No more questions.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Stef, thank you very much for your help.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Now it's time for you to choose which products to buy. Follow me.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Right, chaps, what are we going to buy?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I think we should do a bundle - one pair of sticks, one diabolo
0:07:50 > 0:07:51and a book about diabolos.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54If we're selling diabolos, we need sticks.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57This challenge requires expertise and precision,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and if I were choosing the products,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I'd only choose the ones I was confident in demonstrating.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06OK, Bargain Buckets, you've got lots of products to choose from.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08What are your ideas so far?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- To get some sticks...- And diabolos.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- So, Bethany, can you show me how to use a diabolo?- Sure.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17You're an expert, are you? Ooh, look at that!
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Ooh, look at that! I'm really impressed, Bethany.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Did you know she could do this? - No.- That's a skill, isn't it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Fantastic!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32What is your core strategy for buying these products?
0:08:32 > 0:08:33- Charm.- Charm?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36So, you're going to wink at her and say, "Give us a discount,"
0:08:36 > 0:08:38and that will work, will it?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40The boys have also decided on diabolos,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43but they're planning to sell them as beginner kits
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- with the sticks and books. - It's a starter set.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48If someone starts and just have a diabolo and stick, they think,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50"I can't really do it."
0:08:50 > 0:08:52But if you include a book, you could get more for the price.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Clever. The starter sets are a great potential money-maker.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Who's going to be doing a lot of the talking in this negotiation?
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- That'll be James and Ethan.- James and Ethan. Feeling confident?- Very.- Yes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I'll see you in the negotiation. See you later.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13The Three Riskateers are going to buy individual products
0:09:13 > 0:09:17and sell them as beginner bundles to help them bring in the cash.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Bargain Buckets will make their money buying products
0:09:20 > 0:09:23they can really show off with, but who can juggle the prices
0:09:23 > 0:09:25and negotiate the lowest deals?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31This is the most important negotiation they've ever faced.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33To win the challenge,
0:09:33 > 0:09:38they must get the best prices now with their £75 trading fund.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41First up are the girls.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46They're relying on their cheeky Welsh charm to win over Stef.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51So, ladies, what would you like to buy today?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54We'd like to buy ten clown noses, please.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57What's your best offer on that?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01These girls are negotiating in the wrong way.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05They shouldn't be asking Stef for her best offer.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08They should be giving Stef THEIR best offer.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Ten clown noses? That would be £6.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13£4?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- No.- We're sweet little girls.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21No.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23£4.50?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I would go to £5.10.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30£5?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32OK.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Thank you.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Bethany's charm gets the girls a £1 discount on those clown noses.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- We would then like to buy the medium-sized tabl...- Diabolos.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Diabolos.- Five of them.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Great choice, girls.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52It's Stef's bestseller, and one Bethany can demonstrate really well.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54How about...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56THEY WHISPER
0:10:56 > 0:10:58..£2.50 each?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04No.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I like your shop, by the way!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10£4.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I'll meet you at £4.25.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Go on!
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- OK. £4.10. That makes it £20.50 for five of them.- Thank you.
0:11:25 > 0:11:31That's another great discount - almost a third off the five diabolos.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37And we want to buy 20 peacock...balancing...
0:11:37 > 0:11:39That would be £10.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41£5?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46No.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47£6?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- For 20 of those...- Mm-hm.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57OK.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02The girls have negotiated nearly 50% off the peacock feathers,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04and I think they could do really well with that buy.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Thank you.- Thank YOU!
0:12:07 > 0:12:12The girls' charm offensive paid off, with some great deals.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Next up, Three Riskateers.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Team leader James is heading up their negotiation.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Right, guys, what would you like to buy today?- How much are the plates?
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- They're £1.- Would you do us that and the stick for £1.10?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34A plate and a stick for £1.10? Yes, I would.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Well done, boys. That's a great example of link-buying.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You can't use one product without the other,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43so you negotiated a great deal for the pair.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Good stuff.
0:12:45 > 0:12:51We were looking at getting ten of your red noses. Your clown noses.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- How much do they cost?- Clown noses are 60p each.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57They're 60p each? OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01What sort of price would you be happy to go down to?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Our list price is 60p.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Well, that 's not great.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10What would you say at 20p a nose? They are just pieces of foam.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15There's a real fine line between being assertive and being rude.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19I'd say absolutely no.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Could you do them for 55p, please?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Yeah, I could do them for 55.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Ethan's gentle manner and diplomacy has got them
0:13:32 > 0:13:36a 5p discount on the red clown noses.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Can we get three diabolos and three...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Juggling.- ..juggling, please?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Yup. They're 70p each.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- James, how much...? - I don't know. You work it out!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Have you been doing the whole thing...?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55A problem with the calculator means the boys
0:13:55 > 0:13:58haven't kept track of what they're spending.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I don't know how much we've got!
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Squabbling and bickering in front of your supplier is not professional.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10A golden rule of business is to stay calm no matter what you feel inside.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14The list price would be £4.20. I could do them for £4.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Stop fretting. It's all under control.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20HE THUMPS THE CALCULATOR
0:14:21 > 0:14:25OK, that's fine. So how much were the scarves for a pack?
0:14:25 > 0:14:31- They are £2 a pack. - Could you do us three packs for £4?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I could do them for £4.25, would be my best price.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Could you do £4.20?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40OK. Yes.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Thank you.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44James's softer approach secured them
0:14:44 > 0:14:48almost a third off the price of the juggling scarves.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Although both teams have followed Stef's advice and gone
0:14:51 > 0:14:55for the bestselling diabolos and spinning plates, Three Riskateers
0:14:55 > 0:14:59have a USP - unique selling point - a starter set for the diabolos
0:14:59 > 0:15:03with sticks and books, which they think will rake in the cash.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Bargain Buckets relied on Bethany's charm to get them
0:15:06 > 0:15:11discounts for their goods, including clown noses, bestselling diabolos
0:15:11 > 0:15:15and spinning plates, which they got for half of what the boys paid.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Despite both teams having very different strategies,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21they've ended up with a wide range of similar products,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23so now it's down to personality.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Which selling style will the customers prefer -
0:15:25 > 0:15:28assertive and upfront or cheeky and charming?
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Today, Bargain Buckets take on Three Riskateers.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Both are desperate to win, because a win today keeps them
0:15:45 > 0:15:47in with a chance of competing in the Trade Your Way To The USA
0:15:47 > 0:15:51grand final, and becoming Britain's best young traders.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Good morning, the Three Riskateers.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Good morning, Bargain Buckets.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07In a couple of hours, a spectacular circus show will be kicking off.
0:16:08 > 0:16:112,000 people are expected here today.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14You have two hours to sell them your games and goodies.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Remember, the team that makes the most money wins the challenge,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and only they stand a chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Are you ready to set up your stalls?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- ALL: Yes!- Let's go!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Come on, let's set up.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34The teams need to get ready for when the customers roll up.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40- Don't snap the ends.- Every sale will get them closer to the States.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Tell me how much you are going to sell each product for.
0:16:43 > 0:16:50- The spinning plates - £4.- Right. - The diabolos, big ones - £8.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53And the juggling balls - three for £5.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55How are you going to attract customers to your stall?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58The competition isn't far away. What are you going to do?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01As there's three of us, we'd get two of us
0:17:01 > 0:17:06to begin to play at the front of the stall, so children would be drawn.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Are you happy with your stall? - ALL: Yes.- Are you feeling confident?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- ALL: Yes.- Good luck. I'll see you later.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14The girls are clear on their plan. How are the boys doing?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Our stall is better than the girls'.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19We've got better products, layout and prices.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Fighting talk from Dylan, but I spy a problem.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Work as a team, OK?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28No, you're not! This is going in the trading thing.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31The boys bickered in their negotiation yesterday,
0:17:31 > 0:17:32and now they're at it again.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- OK, guys?- Yeah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39One thing about business which is really key is sometimes
0:17:39 > 0:17:42you need to take a step back and calm down.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45If your customers see you bickering and arguing,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47they won't come to your stall.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51They'll have to work as a team if they want to win.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Yes, guys. Well done. Let's go. Get selling, yeah?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58With 2,000 customers heading their way,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01it's time for the battle of the big top to begin.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Teams, are you ready?- ALL: Yes!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Three, two, one - start selling!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12KLAXON
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Demonstrating their circus tricks is essential to getting sales.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Bethany wastes no time in getting out front
0:18:26 > 0:18:27and showing off the diabolos...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Spin the plates! £3!
0:18:30 > 0:18:34..whilst James heads into the crowds to try and shift the plates.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Come and get your circus novelty! These are exotic, so these are £3.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I'll come back with your change.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I really like Bethany's selling style.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46She's gentle and sweet and lots of fun,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49and it's winning the customers over. Brilliant.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I made £4 for that.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Hopefully that'll go towards winning.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Well done, Bethany.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Her demonstrations have earned a £3 profit for the spinning plate.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03How are the boys?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Basically, it's an easier way to juggle.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11That is absolutely brilliant. Well done.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- Can I interest you in them today? - No.- Please.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- We really need to beat the opposition.- Sorry.- Uhh...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Despite James's hard work...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Can I interest you in a spinning plate?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27..Three Riskateers are struggling to seal those deals.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Sales is just a numbers game.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33If a customer says no, don't take it personally,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35just move on to the next one.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39That's exactly what Bethany's doing a few feet away.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- She's on a selling roll. - Juggling balls, spinning plates.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Which is more than I can say for her team-mates.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Ffion and Nell really need to get involved with the selling.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54It can't just be up to Bethany.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- OK, so, ladies, half an hour in, how are we doing?- Badly.- Not very well.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Not very well.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Ffion, you're doing badly? Why? - We can't get anyone to go.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Girls, girls, you're not doing very well
0:20:08 > 0:20:10because you're not demonstrating.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Who can change that?- Bethany.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Uh, right. So it's all up to Bethany(?) Can I give you a top tip?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You've got a wide variety of products here,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24and you need to get confident
0:20:24 > 0:20:27and you need to really get in there with the customers.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- OK.- Are you going to change?- Yes.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- Are you going to go out and see the customers?- Yes!- See you later.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38If the girls want to get on that plane to the USA,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40all three need to get out and sell.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Come and get your peacock feathers!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45One hour in and everything still to play for!
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Roll up! Come and get your spinning plates!
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Roll up. Come and get your spinning plates!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Finally, Ffion sells a spinning plate for £2.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57And Nell turns on that Welsh charm.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01My husband said it was £1.50 and I just gave them £2 and told them
0:21:01 > 0:21:02to keep the change.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05All the girls are selling now, and nearby,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09James's demonstrations are beginning to pay off for the boys.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12That's how good I am! Only £3 - go on!
0:21:12 > 0:21:18I've just sold my first diabolo with sticks and a book for £11.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Well done, James. That's a stash of cash for your starter set.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Thank you so much.- James is on fire.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29He's interacting with the customers, he's demonstrating
0:21:29 > 0:21:33and then he's going to the parents to say, "Your child wants this.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35"Give me the money." Fantastic.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- He's not the only one.- Circus goods!
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Dylan is also pulling in the sales.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Yep, it's working. Definitely.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Roll up! Roll up! Get your great circus goods!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I'm excited and I'm pretty sure we'll win.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52For that to happen, everyone needs to pitch in.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56I'm not very happy with Ethan at the moment because he's not selling.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- He's just standing around.- But team leader James is on the case.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Right, we need to shift these diabolos. Get out there.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- You have 30 minutes left.- 30 minutes? Right, go!- Juggling balls!
0:22:11 > 0:22:16The clock is ticking and the teams are in selling overdrive.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Remember, energy brings customers and customers bring cash.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Buy diabolos! £3! And if you're nice enough, £2.50.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Spinning plates! Come and get your spinning plates!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Cheaper than the boys!
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Shouting to customers that you are cheaper
0:22:30 > 0:22:33and better than the competition is not a bad tactic.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- We really, really, really want to win this competition.- Circus goods!
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Get your circus goods! - 15 minutes left.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43In business,
0:22:43 > 0:22:48staying ahead of the competition is all about taking the initiative.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I just persuaded the person up there to let me go on stage
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- and persuade customers to buy our products.- Great work!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Targeting as many people as possible
0:22:56 > 0:22:59is a great way to rack up those sales.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03With his spinning plate of doom - Dylan, take a bow!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Thank you, Dylan. Thank you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09The question is, can he make the most of his opportunity?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12He should now say, "Come and buy my spinning plates!"
0:23:14 > 0:23:15No!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18What a wasted opportunity!
0:23:18 > 0:23:23- Every sale will get one team closer to the States.- Thank you so much.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25One minute left.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Would you like to buy all the feathers for 50p?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Thank you for helping us.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35We're basically doing anything the girls are doing, cheaper.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I've just sold three spinning plates for six quid.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Thank you.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Everything must go! Please buy!
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Ethan, can we have three spinning plates for that woman, please?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Ten, nine, eight,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58seven, six, five,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00four, three, two, one,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02stop selling!
0:24:02 > 0:24:04KLAXON
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Girls, can I have your cash tin?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Team, can I have your cash box?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Good luck. - So, we've done our best, so...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- BETHANY SIGHS - It's all we can do.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22We really do hope that we've won.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30They came, they sold,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32but only one team has conquered.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37Is it Three Riskateers or Bargain Buckets who've made the most cash
0:24:37 > 0:24:40and are in with a chance of trading their way to the USA?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Now, over the last two days, I've kept my eye on you,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50and I have to say I've been really impressed with your hard work.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Now remember, over 1,500 young traders applied
0:24:57 > 0:25:01to be in your position, but only 14 teams made it through,
0:25:01 > 0:25:02so well done.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Your challenge was to sell a selection of
0:25:07 > 0:25:11circus novelties at the Shazam circus festival.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Bargain Buckets.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20I was really impressed with your negotiation skills.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22You were cheeky, but you were persistent,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25and you got some really good deals. Well done.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27The Three Riskateers.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I didn't realise you had demonstrating skills -
0:25:31 > 0:25:34very impressive. And you really attracted the customers.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Excellent work.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42But only one team can win, and it's the team who's made the most money.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46And they still stand a chance of trading their way to the USA
0:25:46 > 0:25:49and becoming Britain's best young traders.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55So which team is it? The money has been counted.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Bargain Buckets,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01you made...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06..£67.79.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11The Three Riskateers...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16..you made...
0:26:17 > 0:26:19..£107!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22WHOOPING
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Congratulations.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Three Riskateers have won today's challenge
0:26:27 > 0:26:30and are in with a chance of competing in the USA.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33We won! Yay!
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We never thought we'd win. We were convinced that we'd lose.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40I think this might be the first time in history that I'm a bit speechless.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44It's just a really good experience. Once-in-a-lifetime.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47You win some, you lose some. I wish them the best of luck.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Hopefully they'll be in the top four
0:26:49 > 0:26:53and if they are, I hope they will get to the USA.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56The Three Riskateers, with your takings you are today's winners
0:26:56 > 0:26:59and you've earned a place on the leaderboard.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03But will your £107 be enough to put you in the top four?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Because only those four teams will fight it out in the semifinals.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12The Three Riskateers' £107 puts them fourth,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16destroying Team Adder's hopes for the semifinal.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Only time will tell if they'll stay there.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21The most successful people I have met in business
0:27:21 > 0:27:25are those that have forged strong relationships with their colleagues,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27suppliers and customers.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Respecting all the people that make your business work is essential.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Well worth remembering if you want to trade your way to the USA.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41Next time on Trade Your Way To The USA, two more teams do battle.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Would you like to buy 100 cups?
0:27:42 > 0:27:43We'll do it for a quid.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44- A quid?- Yeah.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48If the customers don't come to you, take your product to the customers.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Two for £4, make my dream come true!
