0:00:05 > 0:00:06We've scoured the country
0:00:06 > 0:00:09to find the next generation of budding entrepreneurs.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14They need to know how to buy, how to sell, and how to close that deal.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Everything must go!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21From more than 1,500 applicants,
0:00:21 > 0:00:24just 14 teams have made it through to the heats.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Now the battle begins in Trade Your Way To The USA.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36They'll each be given £75 cash and a tough trading challenge.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40They must decide what to buy...
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Which trick draws the biggest crowd?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45This one.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47..negotiate the lowest price...
0:00:47 > 0:00:48What would you say at 20p a nose?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'd say absolutely no.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54..and then sell, sell, sell!
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- Come on, guys. - £2! £2 for these!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- Roll up! - One more, come on, come on!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The team that makes the most money wins the challenge...
0:01:03 > 0:01:0660, 70, £70.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10..and a place on our all-important leader board.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Only the top four teams go through to the semi-finals
0:01:14 > 0:01:19and only one of them will be crowned Britain's best young traders
0:01:19 > 0:01:21in Trade Your Way To The USA.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Please buy!
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Trade Your Way To The USA is back and it's tougher than ever.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Today, some of Britain's best young traders will be
0:01:38 > 0:01:40tested to the extreme.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Let's meet the two teams who dare take our challenge.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It's Penny Pinchers versus Destiny Hawks.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55We're the Penny Pinchers and we're going to trade our way to the USA!
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Best buddies Maisie, Lucy and Grace live in Hull.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02They're one tight-knit group of girls.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07We've been friends since primary school and we're determined to win.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09These eager entrepreneurs have already
0:02:09 > 0:02:11turned a pretty profit selling sweets.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Our top trading tip is...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15..work together as one...
0:02:15 > 0:02:17..and that'll bring us sweet success!
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Maisie is Penny Pinchers' creative brain.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23We're going to flip our competition
0:02:23 > 0:02:25into submission!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Wannabe lawyer Grace will be laying down the law.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Objection!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32We will overrule the opposition!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And team leader Lucy is a force to be reckoned with.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38If I'm not organising, nothing ever gets done.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42A message to our opponents -
0:02:42 > 0:02:44we're going to knock the stuffing out of you!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Pillow fight!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48These girls mean serious business.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Pick your penny up off the floor.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Don't you worry...
0:02:51 > 0:02:54..cos we've got more!
0:02:54 > 0:02:59We're the Destiny Hawks and we're going to trade our way to the USA.
0:02:59 > 0:03:06Trading trio Eshan, Mohammed and Zahid are from Bolton in Lancashire.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10On the school debating team, they're used to getting their way.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I propose that the Destiny Hawks are without a doubt today's top traders.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Zahid is team leader.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I was given the job as a marketing director
0:03:20 > 0:03:21in a school enterprise project.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24We even made the newspapers for making over £200.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Eshan is the business brain.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I set up a greetings card business and sold hundreds
0:03:30 > 0:03:31to parents and pupils at school.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And Mohammed's their man for figures.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I've done my sums and I've worked out very carefully
0:03:38 > 0:03:40that Destiny Hawks are destined to win.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44These cricket-mad lads are sure they'll thrash the competition.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47We'll bowl them over.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48We'll knock 'em for six.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50And we'll catch 'em out.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Penny Pinchers better watch out for these boys.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It's our destiny to become successful traders
0:03:56 > 0:03:59and we have a good eye for a bargain, just like hawks.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01THEY SCREECH LIKE HAWKS
0:04:05 > 0:04:10So, it's Destiny's Hawks going head-to-head with Penny Pinchers.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14But who will make the most money and win today's challenge?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Only they stand a chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24The teams have arrived in Chester with no idea
0:04:24 > 0:04:26what their challenge will be.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30But, as the city's home to Britain's biggest zoo,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32they should expect plenty of monkey business.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Welcome to Chester Zoo.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42More than a million people visit the 8,000 animals here each year.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45They love to take something home
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and spend tens of thousands of pounds on souvenirs.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Your challenge is to design and sell
0:04:52 > 0:04:57a brand-new range of souvenir T-shirts and mugs.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Each product must feature an animal paw print.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You will get to choose which animal print,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06colour and style of product you want to buy.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10You must negotiate the lowest prices and then sell, sell, sell.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12It's simple.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15The team that makes the most money wins the challenge.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Here are your trading funds.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Destiny Hawks, Penny Pinches, I've given you each £75 to trade with.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Are you ready? - ALL: Yes!
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Let's get buying!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37The first rule of buying is to understand the product
0:05:37 > 0:05:40you're selling and that's why you're here to meet Steve.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44He's got all the answers for you to be successful in this task.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48The key is for you to ask the right questions.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Now, when I'm selling and buying products,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I remember the four Ps of business.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Price, place, promotion, and product.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Ask questions around those topics and you won't go far wrong.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Here are your notebooks. Are you ready?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- ALL: Yes! - Let's go!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Steve's company designs and prints T-shirts.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18If anyone knows how to turn
0:06:18 > 0:06:21animal print mugs and T-shirts into tenners, it's him.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25With just 15 minutes to quiz him, every question counts.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29With a T-shirt like this and a basic pattern,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32how much would you usually sell it for?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35They start at around £2.50, including the first print.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39For example, we've got animals like meerkats, rhinos and tigers,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42and you can have them in different sizes.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Is there a most popular brand?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Not really. It's all about what you print onto it that makes it popular.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Great question, Maisie.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52She's trying to weed out the bestsellers. Excellent!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Do you offer any discounts if you buy in bulk?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Well, that depends on how many you're looking at buying, really.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00It's really important to establish that the person
0:07:00 > 0:07:03you're doing business with is up for discounts,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07and Zahid established that Steve will give discounts on bulk.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Great one!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12What usually sells more, mugs or T-shirts?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15We sell 30 T-shirts for every mug that we sell.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Would you be able to sell them as a pack?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22So you could do maybe a family pack or an adult pack, or a children pack?
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Yeah, absolutely.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27My top tip in business is always ask the experts how to sell the product.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29There's no better person.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Whatever promotions you can think of that might increase your sales,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35then, obviously, you're free to do.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39OK, guys, your time for questioning is up. Thank you very much, Steve.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40You're welcome.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Now you've got the hard task of deciding which products to buy.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Come with me.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54The teams must spend their £75 wisely to be in with a chance
0:07:54 > 0:07:57of winning and trading their way to the USA.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00But, first, they must decide which colour T-shirts
0:08:00 > 0:08:02and which pawprints will pull in the pounds.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Could we have a red T-shirt, please? - Yeah, definitely. There you are.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09OK, and could we have a tiger paw at the front?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- OK, is that this one here? - Yep, that's the one.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Can we have the blue colour?- Yeah.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I think that one looks good.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22In business, it pays to be focused and decisive. Great stuff, boys!
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Now, the mugs. For the print, we want the penguin one.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Do you want them in black or do you want to change the colour?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- I think it looks fine in black, yeah.- So shall I save that?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Yeah, that's fine.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37So they're going for penguin feet on the mugs and
0:08:37 > 0:08:40tiger, bear and giraffe footprints on the T-shirts.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44What about the girls?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Could you see what it's like with "I went to...the zoo"?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53We were thinking we could have meerkat prints.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Meerkat ones, angled round in a circle.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56No problem.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I think that looks good. - Yeah, that's perfect.- OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01The girls have chosen tiger
0:09:01 > 0:09:06and meerkat pawprints with catchy slogans for their T-shirts and mugs.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Only time will tell which design wins the day.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Next, the teams must work out how much stock to buy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19How many children's T-shirts are we going to buy?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Didn't Steve say that for every 30 T-shirts, one mug would be sold?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So, obviously, the mugs won't sell as well as the T-shirts.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Well, there's a lot of chitchat going on in here.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32How are you feeling and how's your strategy?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35We've got a range of different colours to pick from,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39like we've got royal blue, like, pink and red.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Are you buying for men, women or children?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Unisex, all ages.- OK.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Grace, when you go into your negotiation,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49what is going to be your strategy?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52We're going to start low, and if he says a higher price,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54we'll meet in the middle of where we both said.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Well, it sounds like you have got a very good plan.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- I'll see you later. - ALL: Bye.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Penny Pinchers have a very clear plan.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03What about Destiny Hawks?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07OK, Destiny Hawks, can you tell me what your ideas are so far?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Well, most likely, children would like to buy T-shirts
0:10:10 > 0:10:12with animal pawprints on them, so we thought
0:10:12 > 0:10:15the majority of the T-shirts we'll use are children's ones.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19We wanted to keep it simple and, from previous experience,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21we know what colours we liked as children.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24In business, it's good to draw on your personal experience.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It should help you make the right decisions.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Now, it's time to buy, buy, buy!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Destiny Hawks reckon that a simple design for all the family
0:10:36 > 0:10:39will help them make the most money.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Penny Pinchers are convinced that their eye-catching logo
0:10:42 > 0:10:45will help them stand out against the competition
0:10:45 > 0:10:46and make the most profit.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49But that's if they can negotiate the best prices
0:10:49 > 0:10:52on their souvenir mugs and T-shirts.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Their items are chosen. Their designs are done.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01It's time to negotiate with Steve.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04They have to haggle hard for the best prices now
0:11:04 > 0:11:06so they can make the most money tomorrow
0:11:06 > 0:11:10and stand a chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It's the girls up first.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Right, then, guys, what can I do for you?
0:11:15 > 0:11:20On the adults' tops, altogether seven shirts, it would have been £21.50,
0:11:20 > 0:11:25and we've knocked it down to £10.75, which is...
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Wow.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28..half price.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31That is amazing.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Maisie's gone straight in there and asked for 50% off.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Now, that's pushy!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- I'm going to say, straightway, no to 50% off.- Right, OK.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41That's too low. What's your next offer?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Could we maybe say £12.75?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47£12.75.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52OK. No, I think that's still a little bit low, really.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53OK, £15?
0:11:53 > 0:11:54£14.50.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56£14.50?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I think it would have to be the 15.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00All right, 15.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02SHE MOUTHS
0:12:02 > 0:12:05So, on the kids' tops, we'd like 12.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- So that's 12 of the children's tops in total.- Yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Altogether, that'd cost £48.- OK.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14And we're going to start at a price of £25.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Again, that's still, like, a lot less, isn't it? That's over £20 off.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Maybe £28 and that's the most we could probably go.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Well, if I write that down for now.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30That's £28 at the moment on the kids' tops.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Penny Pinchers are getting some great discounts.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Watch this. This is how it's done.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37We've decided on five mugs
0:12:37 > 0:12:41and we thought that £10.50 was over the higher price limit,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44so we thought that would be quite a good starting price.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- So, if I was to do this, then it would be £53.50 in total.- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53So, that leaves the girls £21.50 left to spend.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57I reckon, if they're pushy, they could get another ten T-shirts.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00That means more stock which means more profit
0:13:00 > 0:13:03and a better chance of winning this challenge.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08So, two more tops, blue and red, in the small adults, please.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Could we have the two T-shirts for £4?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Erm, yeah. We can do that.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- OK. So we've got enough for some more tops.- Shall we get some more kids'?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I think, definitely, we should get some more.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Should we get one more in each colour?- Yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- So there would be two extra ones? - Yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29I'd have spent all the money on T-shirts but they want more mugs.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Could we have one more mug, as well, please?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Do you think we could have two mugs, actually?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38So, two mugs extra, so that would be three extra mugs.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45So if we could do all that for 75, then I think I'd be happy with that.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46ALL: Thank you.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49No wonder Steve's happy.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53The girls have ended up paying over double what they paid
0:13:53 > 0:13:54for the first lot of mugs.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Next up, the boys.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Right, then, guys, how can I help?
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Well, for these children's T-shirts, we want six of each colour.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's £30 for both sets.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Hang on a minute. Right, so they're £2.50 each.- Yeah.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- How many of each are you wanting? - We want six of each.- Six of each.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Zahid is very confident and he's really leading this negotiation.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19They're excellent business traits. Well done.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- So that's 12 T-shirts, so 30 quid. - Good.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25We were looking to maybe get a discount on them.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Well, obviously we do negotiate discounts but let's see
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- how many you're going to be buying at the end.- OK.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Then we'll take it from there.- OK.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40Now onto the men's one. We're looking to buy three of each top.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44So three of the purple one and three of the black one.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- So that's £12 in total.- Yeah.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49We're looking to buy five women's.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51OK. So that's five shirts.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53So that'll be £10.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57And then for the mugs, they are £2.75,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- we're going to buy five of them. - Right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- And two glittery ones.- OK.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07So that obviously brings you to £75.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Now, we were looking to negotiate with that.- OK.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11What offer do you have for me?
0:15:15 > 0:15:20How about maybe something around 68.50?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Incredible!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29They've only asked for a £6.50 discount off £75.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33No, but I could go down to, probably, 70 for you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39So, £70 and for that £5 that's remaining,
0:15:39 > 0:15:43would you throw in another three tops, two men's and one women's?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- So you'd do two?- Yeah.- Yeah, OK, I could do that for you.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Does that sound good? Do we have a deal?- Yes.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I don't think that's a good deal.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53If that was me, I would have gone for 25% off.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- It was nice doing business with you. - Thank you very much.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57- Cheers.- Thanks.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01OK, thank you very much.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07So, Destiny Hawks have ended up with two glitter and six penguin mugs,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11along with 28 of the best-selling T-shirts for their £75.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15There's yellow with a giraffe's foot for the women,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18black or purple with a bear's paw for the men,
0:16:18 > 0:16:22and blue or red with a tiger's paw for the kids.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Penny Pinches were doing brilliantly but they paid too much
0:16:25 > 0:16:28for those extra mugs when they could have bought some T-shirts.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32They've ended up with eight mugs and only 23 T-shirts.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Red and blue with a tiger paw for the adults
0:16:35 > 0:16:39and pink and blue with meerkat pawprints for the kids.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40With their choices made,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44it's now all down to the selling day tomorrow.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Winning this challenge hinges on three things - best price,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50best design and best sales team.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Today, Destiny Hawks go head-to-head with Penny Pinchers.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Both are desperate to win as a win today keeps them in with a chance
0:17:07 > 0:17:12of competing in the Trade Your Way To The USA grand final,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16and becoming Britain's best young traders.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Good morning, Destiny Hawks.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Good morning, Penny Pinchers.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Welcome to Chester Zoo.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31In a few hours, the doors will open
0:17:31 > 0:17:34and around 3,000 visitors are expected.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Your challenge is to sell them T-shirts and mugs,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40and you have two hours to do that.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Remember, the team that makes the most money wins the challenge,
0:17:43 > 0:17:48and only they stand a chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Are you ready? - ALL: Yes!
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Let's set up stall.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57The teams need to get ready for the crowds.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01It's the first time they've seen how their designs have turned out.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03SHRIEKS
0:18:03 > 0:18:05That's so good!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Look at the mugs! That's better than we thought it would be.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Perfect colour T-shirts.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Maisie, tell me what the prices are.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Well, we've got, for the kids' T-shirts, 7.99.- OK.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17And then the adults', 8.99.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21But we thought if they don't sell at the end, we've got a back-up plan.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24So, for example, we're going to have an adult T-shirt,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27a kid's T-shirt and a mug that originally would have cost £24,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30but we're going to round it to the nearest 10 which is £20,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33and say that we've knocked off £4.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Penny Pinchers are so well prepared, they even have a strategy worked out
0:18:37 > 0:18:39for the end of the challenge. How are the boys doing?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Destiny Hawks, tell me about your pricing.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48- For the children's, it's £6. For the men's, it's £7.50.- £7.50.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51The women's are seven.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Destiny Hawks have more T-shirts to sell
0:18:53 > 0:18:55but their prices are almost £2 lower
0:18:55 > 0:18:58They're really going to have to sell, sell, sell
0:18:58 > 0:19:00if they want to win this challenge.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03The customers are going to be coming up very soon, so good luck.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08With their stalls set, let the trading battle commence.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Teams, are you ready?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- ALL: YES! - Three, two, one, start trading!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21HOOTER BLARES
0:19:24 > 0:19:26It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Why not come and try out some of our tops?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31How cute! Do you like it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Yeah.- Well, that's only £8.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Thank you very much. Have a lovely day. Bye. Thank you.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39What a great selling technique.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42The girls are going for the children,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45hoping the parents will buy them the T-shirts. Cheeky!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Maisie is very confident and very energetic
0:19:48 > 0:19:50and they are great skills for a salesperson.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Yeah, it's going quite well.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54We've already got £20 and I'm so excited.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57We just need to go and get some more people.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00A great start for the girls, so what about the boys?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Would you be interested in buying any T-shirts?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Oh, no, I'm OK, thanks.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Are you sure? Go on, it would look nice on you.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Would you like to buy any T-shirts for your child or yourself?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10No, I'm all right, mate.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12It's not going well at the moment
0:20:12 > 0:20:14cos people are not really tempted to buy them.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15I'm not sure why.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18The boys are demonstrating their designs
0:20:18 > 0:20:20but they don't seem to be selling them.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Go on, ask him!- No, he's gone now.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Ask these lot. Ask these lot.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25No, I'm too shy.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28In fact, Eshan's not selling at all.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30They really need to get it together
0:20:30 > 0:20:32if they want to trade their way to the USA.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Let me tell you, as a customer, I'm interested in your design,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41in the price and why I should buy from you, rather than them.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44So you need to think of a clever strategy to say,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46"This is what we've got."
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Sell them the deal, tell them why they're different with more energy.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51- OK.- Got it?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Can I interest you in these T-shirts?- No, thanks.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55100% cotton.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- WOMAN LAUGHS - It's a great design.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58An hour left.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Great! The boys are getting out there with their T-shirts.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03How are the girls doing?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Excuse me, would you like a T-shirt?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Er, blue?- BOYS: Yeah.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11We've also got them for adults as well if you'd like one.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12- I'm all right.- I want the blue.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Not too good.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Their tactics may have worked selling the children's T-shirts
0:21:18 > 0:21:20but they're having less luck with the adults.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Mugs and T-shirts!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Can I interest you in these? Are you sure?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28OK, thank you.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31We've tried to sell to a lot of adults but it's just not working,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34so we're going to try it to the kids and put it as a pack.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38The girls have realised they can't shift the adult T-shirts,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42so they're bringing in their family package deals to get rid of them.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45In business, you have to adapt to the situation and,
0:21:45 > 0:21:49if your stock isn't selling, change your game plan.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53We've got the top adults and top kids so it would have been £16.90
0:21:53 > 0:21:56but we can knock it down to £14.48.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- 14.48, that's a bargain, isn't it? - Well done, Maisie.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02That's an £8 profit on their family pack.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'm not worried about the adults any more.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07If I keep doing that, I think it'll work.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11And it looks like Destiny Hawks have really found their form.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14T-shirts and mugs. This will look great on your daughter.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16We can get a bigger size, if you want.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Two for 10.- Oh, you're very good!
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- There you go, young man.- Thank you. - Nice doing business with you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Good.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Eshan's persistence is really paying off. Well done.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33That's two T-shirts for £10. Brilliant!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Just 15 minutes to go.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Come on, you're missing out on something here!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Cheap prices, we do lots of deals!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42How about a T-shirt and a mug for £10?
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Yep. Here you go.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Thank you.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48With all the boys selling hard, Destiny Hawks have sold
0:22:48 > 0:22:51a mug and a T-shirt for £10,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and a kid's T-shirt for £6.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Destiny Hawks are racking up those sales but what's this?
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Do you like this T-shirt?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Penny Pinchers are trying to pinch the competition's customers.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07OK, thank you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Two can play at that game.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Did you shrink it in the wash?!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Ah, you see?- Oh, no, no, no!
0:23:16 > 0:23:17He's done you on the size.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21They've got ten minutes left and both teams are feeling the pressure.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Their tactic - trying to steal each other's customers.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Would you like a T-shirt?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Better deals, better quality. Come to me, not her!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Ours is better deals, better quality.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Don't go to her!- Lot more for your money.- She's ripping you off!
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Shut up!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36There's just five minutes left.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40If that was me, I'd get rid of everything at a reduced price.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Grab your bargains! Low prices, just dropped them.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Two for a fiver, that's it. - Thank you very much.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48We could do two adults' for the price of one.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- I'll have two smalls, please. - That's £9, thank you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Go, girl power!
0:23:52 > 0:23:54We've got the right sizes for you as well.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56With just minutes to spare,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Destiny Hawks find a great selling opportunity.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Medium one, yeah?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02That's a red.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Thank you very much.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It was the biggest sale of the day and I'm really, really happy
0:24:08 > 0:24:10because it's more stock gone and more money for us.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12But will that be enough to win?
0:24:14 > 0:24:15It'd really suit you.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- There you go.- Thank you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Two for a fiver, is that OK? - Yeah, that'll do.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29..three, two, one, stop trading.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30HOOTER BLARES
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Girls, can I have your cash tin? Good luck.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Thank you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Team, can I have your cash box?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Good luck.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Well done, lads. We did the best we could do.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I think we've got an absolutely fantastic chance of winning
0:24:50 > 0:24:52and if we don't, it's not the end of the world but we've tried
0:24:52 > 0:24:55our hardest and really think we've got a good chance.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- And that's all we could do.- Yeah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06They came,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08they sold,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11but only one team has conquered.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Is it Penny Pinchers or Destiny Hawks who've made the most cash
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and are in with a chance of trading their way to the USA?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I've been watching you over the last two days
0:25:23 > 0:25:26and I have to say I've been really impressed with what I've seen.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Well done.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Remember, 1,500 young top traders applied to be in your position
0:25:35 > 0:25:38but only 14 teams made it through,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41so you should be very proud of yourselves.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44But only one team can win today's challenge.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49And only they stand a chance of trading their way to the USA.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53The money has been counted.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Destiny Hawks,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59you took...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01..£110.20.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Penny Pinchers,
0:26:05 > 0:26:06you took...
0:26:08 > 0:26:10DRUM ROLL
0:26:14 > 0:26:16..£171.97.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17SHRIEKING
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Congratulations.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23So, Penny Pinchers are today's champions
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and in with a chance of competing in the USA.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I'm so happy. We can't wait to tell our mums.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31It's just the shock of it when she said how much we'd actually got,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33compared to what the boys did.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We've all worked as a team together to pull this off
0:26:36 > 0:26:38and it's all paid off, cos we won.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I've learnt from this experience to become a more confident person.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45I wish them all the best and I hope they can trade their way to the USA.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Penny Pinchers, you took the most cash so you are our winners.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52It earns you a place on our leaderboard
0:26:52 > 0:26:58but will your £171.97 be enough to take you into the top four?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Because only the top four teams will fight it out in the semifinals.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Penny Pinchers' £171.97 puts them second
0:27:08 > 0:27:11and knocks DNA out of the competition.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15So, 3's Company, Penny Pinchers, Street Smart Sellers,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19and Team Synergy go through to the semi-finals.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Today's a winning team were successful because,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25right from the start, they were describing the features
0:27:25 > 0:27:29and benefits of their products - a very effective selling technique.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31And one well worth remembering
0:27:31 > 0:27:34if you want to trade your way to the USA.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Next time on Trade Your Way To The USA,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40it's the first of our semifinals.
0:27:40 > 0:27:4366 for £33.

0:27:44 > 0:27:473.50 each, £3, two for £5.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Work out the pricing and just stick to it.
