0:00:39 > 0:00:40They must decide what to buy...
0:00:40 > 0:00:45- Which trick draws the biggest crowd? - This one.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47..negotiate the lowest price...
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- What would you say at 20p a nose? - I'd say absolutely no.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54..and then sell, sell, sell.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Come on, boys.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Two pounds, two pounds for these.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- Roll up! - ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The team that makes the most money wins the challenge...

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Trade Your Way To The USA is back and it's tougher than ever.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40Today, some of Britain's best young traders will be tested to the max.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Let's meet the two teams who have dared take our challenge.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's Team Synergy versus Triple Traders.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51ALL: We are Triple Traders
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and we're going to trade our way to the USA.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Yeah!
0:02:02 > 0:02:04They're from Lancashire.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06And these best mates mean business.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08ALL: We're called the Triple Traders because...
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- We're three terrific traders... - Which makes us a terrific team.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13The competition better watch out.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Georgie has a crafty way to turn no-cost garments
0:02:16 > 0:02:19into a pretty profit.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26I'm an expert at turning clothes like this into cash like this.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I've made £150 by selling them on the internet.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Quasim busts a gut to raise cash for charity.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39I once did a sponsored run and I raised 140 quid. That's commitment.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And Helena is already learning the family business.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I earn my pocket money by helping my dad out at his vet's.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'm learning and I'm earning.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- We're cheerful!- We're charming! - And we'll take on any challenge...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55ALL: Which makes us champions!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02ALL: Hi, we're Team Synergy and we're going to trade our way to the USA.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05This group of grafters from Devon are...
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Musical maestro Will is a self-styled sales supremo.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Music's like business. You have to be in tune with what people want.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24When it comes to the competition, I'll be hitting all the right notes.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Jeweller Dylan is the team's creative chief.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I can turn this into this
0:03:31 > 0:03:33and then sell it for this.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37And Matt's the team leader and motivator.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40During the competition, I'll ensure we're quick on our feet.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I know when to smash the opposition.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47ALL: We're Team Synergy and we're going to trade our way to the USA.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57So it's Team Synergy versus Triple Traders.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00But only the team that makes the most money can win the challenge
0:04:00 > 0:04:04and only they have the chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Today's teams have arrived in the Derbyshire countryside
0:04:11 > 0:04:15with no idea of what their trading challenge will be.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19But they know they must win if they want to get to the USA.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Welcome to Alton Towers.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Tomorrow, a thousand visitors are expected for a Caribbean carnival.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Your challenge is to create and sell fruit smoothies.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- ALL: Yeah! - Wow.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45You'll get to choose which fruits to buy, what the mixer will be,
0:04:45 > 0:04:49negotiate the lowest prices and then sell, sell, sell.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56It's simple. The team that makes the most money wins the challenge.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Here are your trading funds.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Team Synergy, Triple Traders,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I've given you each £75 to trade with. Are you ready?
0:05:09 > 0:05:10ALL: Yes!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Let's get buying.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20The competition is on. The teams have £75 each.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Now they must become smoothie experts
0:05:23 > 0:05:25so they can buy the right products
0:05:25 > 0:05:27and stand a chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30The first rule of buying
0:05:30 > 0:05:33is to really understand the product that you're selling.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I've brought you here to meet Jonathan.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37If there's one person who knows
0:05:37 > 0:05:42how to turn a simple smoothie into a fruitful business, it's him.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47He's got all the answers, but you have to ask the right questions.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48And that could be the key
0:05:48 > 0:05:50between you winning or losing this challenge.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Is that understood? - ALL: Yes.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Here are your books. Are you ready?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57ALL: Yes!
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Let's go.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Jonathan is a smoothie expert.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02He's been selling them for over 13 years
0:06:02 > 0:06:06and his business makes hundreds of thousands of pounds each year.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10The teams have just 15 minutes to find out all they can from him.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Every question counts.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Right, guys, question time.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18What smoothies have a really nice aroma?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Smoothies tend not to really have a huge aroma.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Aroma? It's not the first question I was expecting.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I hope it gets better from here.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31What would be the retail price of one of the smoothies?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35You would look at around about £3 for a smoothie this size.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39That's more like it, Quasim, ask about the retail price.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Now they know how much to sell a smoothie for.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Which one's your best seller?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I would say you really need to think about two things -
0:06:45 > 0:06:49having a berry-based smoothie, cos that's always very popular.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52And the other thing you need is a tropical type of smoothie,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55something probably mango/pineapple-based.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Do you have any issues with allergies?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01To make a smoothie, you need half a portion of frozen yoghurt.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03You do get people who need dairy-free,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06so sometimes, putting yoghurt in your smoothie can be an issue,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09so you can leave the yoghurt out and put some ice in.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12How much fruit could you buy for £75?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That really depends on what fruits you select cos
0:07:14 > 0:07:16they all are different prices.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18If you want to know the price, just ask.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Would you advise testers?
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Absolutely.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Jonathan has just said, "You can ask me the price of anything."
0:07:26 > 0:07:28And no-one has taken him up on that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30The teams won't be able to bargain for any products
0:07:30 > 0:07:33if they haven't got any prices.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Time for a word of advice.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Can I just point out that Jonathan has just said
0:07:37 > 0:07:40if you need to know prices, you need to ask him.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Erm, how much is all the fruit?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44'That's more like it.'
0:07:44 > 0:07:46OK, I'll go through. This is per kilo.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Banana - £3.10.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Blueberries - £8.20.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Blackberries - £3.60.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55They've got the cost of the fruit, well done.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59But what about the juice, the yoghurt, the cups and the straws?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Good luck in your negotiations.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Melon - £3.60.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07OK, teams, your time for questioning is up.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Are you confident you asked the right questions?- Yes.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Now you've got to decide how to spend your £75. Let's go.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Right, this is all we've got. What will we spend our money on?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It is a Caribbean...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Exotic fruit.- So we need the pineapple and the melon and the...
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Mango.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29If I was doing this task, the first thing
0:08:29 > 0:08:34I would do is calculate how many smoothies I could sell in two hours.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I've worked out, at a push, I could sell about 100.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41The key to winning this task is to know your basic maths.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47To make 100 smoothies, what you'll need is ten kilos of fruit,
0:08:47 > 0:08:4950 bars of yoghurt,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51and 20 litres of juice.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55So what is Team Synergy's strategy?
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I think we better have different names of them, like just a Classic - strawberry and banana...
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK, guys.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03So, Will, in terms of recipes, what ideas have you got?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Cos it's a Caribbean theme we've got the Reggae Special.- Hmm.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09..Which would be pineapple, mango, banana.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Tell me what you're going to buy.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14We were thinking six kilograms of banana.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16five kilograms of strawberries,
0:09:16 > 0:09:17three kilograms of blueberries,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19five kilograms of mango,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22three kilograms of raspberries.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26'That's enough fruit for around 300 smoothies.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Yeah, I don't know about that - maybe size it down.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I think you really need to think about quantities.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35You're going to go to the negotiation, what's your strategy?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Start really low down, work up but don't go straight up to half,
0:09:39 > 0:09:45just go really slowly and try and get as much of everything as we can.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Well, good luck and I'll see you later.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Thanks.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yeah, we'll need to get rid of fruit and add it up.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Schoolboy error, that was, from us.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56So how are Triple Traders doing?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Shall we do that mix and match where they get to choose their own fruit?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Cos that would be quite a good idea.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Yes! How could it be called...?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Create Your Own Fruity Fiesta.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07OK, right.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Tell me about your strategy for this smoothie challenge.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Well, what we're going to do is have all the flavours that we've got
0:10:13 > 0:10:17on show and then they're going to pick their own flavours
0:10:17 > 0:10:18and we'll make the smoothie for them.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24You've got your negotiation, are you confident about going into this?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I think we're confident with the quantities but it's just a bit...
0:10:27 > 0:10:33Of the prices, what price we're going to...how much we're going
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- to knock off...- When we're haggling.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37'Negotiating is tough.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40'They need to be confident in asking for discounts
0:10:40 > 0:10:42'and hold their nerve.'
0:10:42 > 0:10:43- Good luck.- Thank you!
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Team Synergy reckon that their Reggae and Rasta Specials
0:10:51 > 0:10:54will help them bring in the cash at the Caribbean Carnival.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Triple Traders believe that by allowing the customers
0:10:58 > 0:11:01to create their own smoothies, that will make them the most money.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04But that's if they can negotiate the lowest prices
0:11:04 > 0:11:06for their preferred fruits and juices.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14With their smoothie ingredients selected, it's time to negotiate.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17First, Team Synergy.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Let's hope they've worked out how much fruit
0:11:19 > 0:11:23they need to make the most of their £75 trading fund.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29OK, first of all, we'd like to buy some cups.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30We'd like to buy 100 cups.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34'Brilliant - buying 100 cups means they hope to sell 100 smoothies.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- 'They've done their maths.' - OK, 100 cups.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- How much would that be?- £5.88.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43How about...do you think you could do it for a quid?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48A quid?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51£1.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56- £1, ha! You think that I should sell you these cups for £1?- Yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59It's greater to go in with a low offer
0:11:59 > 0:12:03but every negotiation has to be a win-win situation.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Asking for 80% off, well, I'm not surprised Jonathan's taken aback.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11OK, £2?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14HE LAUGHS Is this an auction? I can do them for £5.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18How about £4?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21£4 for 100 cups?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Yep.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- £4.50.- Yeah, sold.- Yep, done. - £4.50.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30OK, now on to our yoghurt.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33How much is one yoghurt, frozen yoghurt bar?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35One bar? 55p.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Do you think you could do 50 bars for £15?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I can do it for £19.
0:12:41 > 0:12:4219, sounds perfect.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48They've just negotiated 50 bars of yoghurt from £27.50 to £19.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52That is fantastic negotiation.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55OK, so we're £41 into our budget.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57This is what I like to see,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59tallying up your totals as you go along.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Great planning, well done.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- We're doing fruit now.- Fruit.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Yep, and we would want two kilograms of strawberries.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10The price I have here is £7.54.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Do you think you could shave £2 off that, make it £5?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- £5.54, is that all right?- Yeah.- Yep.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Two kilograms of banana.- £6.25.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Or £4, go on.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I can do it for £4.75.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Yeah.- Go on then, that's fine.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33'Along with pineapple, mango, raspberries, blackberries,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37'melon and apple juice, their money is almost spent.'
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Maybe we should get little tester cups.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Taster cups, I think they'll come in very handy.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- £2?- No problem.- Yeah.- Thank you.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- 12p.- Anything we can get for 12p?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51You can get a smile.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53We'll give it to you for that.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Team Synergy were cool, calm and collected
0:13:57 > 0:14:00and they negotiated brilliantly.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01With their £75,
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Triple Traders need to drive a hard bargain to stay in the game.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08So we'll start off with the banana.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11We would like four kilograms of that.
0:14:11 > 0:14:154 kilos of banana is £12.50.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19We were hoping to get that for £10.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I'm happy to do you £10 for four kilos of bananas.
0:14:24 > 0:14:31That's £2.50 per kilo of banana that the boys just bought at £1.65.
0:14:31 > 0:14:38The mango, we would like three kilograms of that for £10.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44- Normally that would be £11.16, and you want it for £10?- Yes.- No problem.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49OK, pineapple. We would like two kilograms of that for £6.50.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56It's normally £7.54 and you want it for £6.50.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Take £1 off, yep, I can do that.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Thank you.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04You know, they're not negotiating hard enough,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08they're only negotiating 10%, it's not enough.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The problem is they've spent over half their money on fruit,
0:15:11 > 0:15:17which leaves just over £30 for juice, ice, cups, lids, straws
0:15:17 > 0:15:19and all that yoghurt.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Can we have 100 of the yoghurts, please?- £55.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I don't think we should get any yoghurt cos it's really expensive.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Neither do I.- OK, so no yoghurt...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33And we can just add ice and fruit.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Their strategy is falling apart.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39They haven't even negotiated and now they're just going to buy ice.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Should we just get 100 cups and 100 lids at the moment?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Yeah, well how much...OK, let's just get 100 cups and 100 lids.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- £3.60 for the lids and £5.80 for the cups.- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55They've taken Jonathan's first price and haven't negotiated at all.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Could we please buy some juice?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00For £15.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02You would be able to do it for £18.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Would you do £17.50?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- £17.50, done.- OK.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Guys, thanks very much.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Although Triple Traders bought the right amount of fruit,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19they paid too much.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22That meant they couldn't afford taster cups or yoghurt,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25so are going for ice-based smoothies instead.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I hope they don't end up regretting it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Team Synergy negotiated hard and got a good price on their fruit so they
0:16:32 > 0:16:36could afford all the other items including the all-important yoghurt.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40So it's Triple Traders with their ice-based smoothies versus
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Team Synergy with their yoghurt-based ones.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Now it's all about tomorrow
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and who can sell the most at the Caribbean Carnival.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Today the competition steps up a gear as Triple Traders go
0:16:56 > 0:17:00head-to-head with Team Synergy. Both are desperate to win
0:17:00 > 0:17:04and get one step closer to our USA grand final.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Only the team that makes the most money will be in with
0:17:07 > 0:17:10a chance of being crowned Britain's Best Young Traders.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Good morning, Team Synergy!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Good morning, Triple Traders.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Very shortly the Caribbean Carnival will kick off.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28You've got two hours to sell fruit smoothies.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Remember, the team that makes the most money wins the challenge
0:17:32 > 0:17:35and only they stand the chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:17:35 > 0:17:382,000 Caribbean Carnival-goers are arriving.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41All of them potential customers.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46It's time for the battle of the smoothie sellers to begin.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Teams, are you ready? - YES!
0:17:49 > 0:17:513, 2, 1, start trading!
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Are you ready?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59What do you think? I'm proud.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yes. OK.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03'Triple Traders have a smoothie-selling strategy
0:18:03 > 0:18:06'they think will bag them the win today.'
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I think the secret to our success is going to be the fact
0:18:09 > 0:18:10they can choose their own flavours.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It makes it more personal for them.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15'With six different types of fruit on offer,
0:18:15 > 0:18:19'let's see if team manager Helena has worked out their prices.'
0:18:19 > 0:18:24So, Triple Traders, what is your pricing strategy, Helena?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27We're going to sell each cup for £2.90.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29And then we might lower it or higher it,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32depending on how well we're doing throughout the time.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- So £2.90 for one cup.- Yes.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- I'll see you later.- OK, brill.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41So Triple Traders have a clear plan, but what about Team Synergy?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45We've got the Rasta, which is raspberry, melon and banana.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47The Sunset, as it's a very sunny part of the world,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49which is melon, strawberry and banana.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51And the price?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Each smoothie is £3.50.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Triple Traders, who don't have yoghurt in their smoothie,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58are charging £2.90,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01whereas the boys are charging £3.50.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Yes, please, can I help you?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- I'll have the Rasta one. - There's your smoothie.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Thank you!
0:19:06 > 0:19:07The Sunset, yes, you can.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11We've made about ten sales and we've been going for about 15 minutes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13A customer said that they're doing pick and mix over there
0:19:13 > 0:19:16and they're not going so fast, cos people have to pick,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19so I think we made a good decision doing recipes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23But Triple Traders' lower prices are drawing the crowds.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- And you want? - Banana for myself, please.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Anybody else like to order anything?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Can I have banana and mango, please?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34With a queue forming, the team are feeling the pressure.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Which one's this?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I think it's two of those, raspberry and blackberry as well.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Do we have two? Yes.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42All three Triple Traders are in a flap.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44What am I doing?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46It's really, really stressful!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49You never knew it'd be so stressful just making smoothies, but it is.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52So many people, so many orders.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57My top tip for winning this task is really to keep calm under pressure.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00It's quite daunting when a lot of customers come up at once
0:20:00 > 0:20:03and want serving, but you've got to keep your cool.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05'In business, the most important thing
0:20:05 > 0:20:07'is to be professional in front of your customers,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09'even when you're feeling the pressure.'
0:20:09 > 0:20:12£8...
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- No!- £2.80.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16£6!
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Oh, my gosh!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- Sorry, it is £2.90...- £8.70.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Times three.- £8.70, please.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Is that right?- Yes, it is.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Thank you!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33'One hour left. Triple Traders are doing well with their lower prices.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36'Ten metres away, sales seem to have dried up,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40'but Matt has a new strategy to get those customers.'
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I'm making some little testers, and I'll go over there to entice them
0:20:46 > 0:20:48from that stall over to our stall.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51So that they come and get a taste of our delicious smoothies.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54So now they'll want to come over here and get a big one.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Anyone for a little taste of our Sunset Smoothie?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Would you like a free taster of our Sunset Smoothie?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03If you like it, there's a big tent there you can buy a full-sized one.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Cheers, thanks.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09'Before long, it's paying off, so how are Triple Traders doing?'
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Guys, how's it going?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I think it was going well when we first started out.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19But there's people coming in,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21so I think we'll get more.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23The best smoothies in England!
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Come and get them. Come on down!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28They're healthy, and everything.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Quasim, it's great that you're shouting,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32but sometimes that could put customers off.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34My tip is, if the customers don't come to you,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36take your product to the customers.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41'No sooner said than done, Helena organises a new plan of attack.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44'She's sending Quasim out to tempt customers
0:21:44 > 0:21:47'with pre-made smoothies. Great idea.'
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Hopefully, it'll get us a few more customers.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Or at least sell one more smoothie.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Every little, tiny smoothie makes a difference.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Every pound counts.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59'I couldn't have put it better myself.'
0:21:59 > 0:22:00The great thing about business
0:22:00 > 0:22:03is you don't have to stick with one strategy.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05If it's not working, try something new.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08And that's exactly what Triple Traders are doing.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Hey, everybody!
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Come and get smoothies!
0:22:14 > 0:22:15£2.90 for smoothies.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Two of your five-a-day.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18All right!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20'Pointing out what's special about your product
0:22:20 > 0:22:22'is a brilliant business strategy.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24'Well done, Quasim.'
0:22:24 > 0:22:26The yellow one or the red one?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Which one? The red one.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30£2.40, please.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Triple Traders' changing tactic is working.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36'30 minutes to go,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39'and at Team Synergy's stall,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42'Dylan's clocked on to a key bit of information to get them more sales.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43'Yoghurt.'
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I've heard from a couple of people, their smoothies are very watery.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Looking over there,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I don't think they're getting as many customers as us.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54We're using yoghurt, they're using ice.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Yoghurt-based smoothies over here, water-based smoothies over there!
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Yoghurt beats water every time, ladies and gentlemen!
0:23:02 > 0:23:03I've just heard Matt say,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07"Yoghurt-based smoothies here, ice-based ones there".
0:23:07 > 0:23:09'There's nothing wrong with highlighting
0:23:09 > 0:23:12'why you think you have the best product.'
0:23:12 > 0:23:14That was two strawberry and banana,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17one raspberry, mango and pineapple.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19That comes to £10.50, please, mate.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22There you go, my friend. Thank you.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24'Matt's made a £10.50 sale.'
0:23:24 > 0:23:27We still think we can win it.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29We have quite a lot of cash in there at the moment.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31So we think it's going really well.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34'As the teams go head-to-head for the customers,
0:23:34 > 0:23:35'it's all to play for.'
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Would you like to buy a smoothie?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Yoghurt-based smoothies, not ice!
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Two for £4. Make my dream come true, please!
0:23:43 > 0:23:44It's war.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48There's just five minutes left!
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I want you to go out there and sell, sell, sell, sell.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Sell them for £1.50.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Get your smoothies for only £1!
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Would you like to buy a smoothie?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58We're slashing the prices right down, back to £1.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02OK. Thank you.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- 'Just one minute left.' - Every pound makes a difference.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Thank you.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Thank you.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Ten, nine,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16eight, seven,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18six, five,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20four, three, two,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22one. Stop trading!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24HORN BLARES
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Let me have your cash box. - There you go.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Good luck.- Thank you!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Can I have your cash box? - There you go.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Good luck.- ALL: Thank you.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43That was so hard!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46A toast. To victory!
0:24:53 > 0:24:54'They bought,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56'they sold,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58'but which team conquered?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01'Is it Triple Traders,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03'or Team Synergy?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06'It's time to find out who's won the challenge,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09'and stays in the running for our USA grand final.'
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I've been watching both teams for the last two days,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14and I have to say I've been very impressed.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Well done.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Remember, the team that makes the most money wins the challenge,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24and only they stand a chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28The cash has been counted.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Team Synergy, you took...
0:25:36 > 0:25:39£150.01.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Triple Traders,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45you took...
0:25:50 > 0:25:52£102.16.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54THEY CHEER
0:25:54 > 0:25:57'Team Synergy are today's winners,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00'and are in with a chance of competing in the USA.'
0:26:00 > 0:26:04I can't believe we've beaten the other team by almost £50.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08That opportunity to be one step closer to the plane is just amazing.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Anyone who come s up against us will be quaking in their boots.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13We would like to say good luck to the other team,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16and I hope they do well. I really hope they win.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Congratulations, Team Synergy.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21You took the most money in today's challenge,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23and it makes you our winners.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It earns you a place on our leaderboard.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29But will your £150.01 be enough to put you in the top four?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32'Because only those four teams
0:26:32 > 0:26:35'will fight it out in the semi-finals.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37'Team Synergy's £150.01
0:26:37 > 0:26:39'puts them in third place,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41'knocking DNA down into fourth,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44'and Three Riskateers out of the running.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48'Will DNA hold on in the final heat tomorrow?'
0:26:48 > 0:26:52In business, you can't afford to rely on just one strength.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55You need to be able to negotiate hard, sell well,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57and close the deal.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Today's winning team demonstrated those all-round skills,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02and they're well worth remembering,
0:27:02 > 0:27:07if one day you want to Trade Your Way To The USA.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Next time on Trade Your Way To The USA,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12two more teams do battle.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16We've knocked it down to £10.75, which is half-price.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17This is how it's done.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20100 percent cotton. It's a great design!
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Oh, you're very good!
