0:00:06 > 0:00:09Welcome to the semifinal of Trade Your Way To The USA!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22The heats are over and the toughest trading challenge
0:00:22 > 0:00:25is about to get even tougher.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30Whoever wins today will be going to the USA for our Grand Final.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34And that means it's either the Victores or Team Sterling.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36These two semifinalists have fought off
0:00:36 > 0:00:39700 other teams to get here.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Team Sterling are old friends Aidan, Isaac and Rachel.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48This determined Essex bunch came third
0:00:48 > 0:00:56on the leaderboard with £152.50, winning their heat by over £50.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58It feels great to be in the semifinals
0:00:58 > 0:00:59cos we did really work hard.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01# Come on ladies, come on men. #
0:01:03 > 0:01:05They had a hiccup in their negotiation.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Our calculations are too high, which I apologise for.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12But their teamwork during the sell saw them clean up in the end.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Enjoy. Spread the word, please.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15That's how I roll.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Team Sterling!
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Team Sterling!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Team Sterling!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24But have they met their match in the Victores,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28who are best mates Rosie, Maisie and Rachel?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Their name is Latin for winners, and this persuasive trio
0:01:32 > 0:01:35came an impressive second on the Trade Your Way leaderboard
0:01:35 > 0:01:38with £176.65.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I think the Victores have what it takes to win in the semi final.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We are unique and we are amazing when it comes to selling.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50They've certainly got the gift of the gab, all right.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Ah. Ow! Would you like to have it?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yeah, yeah, yeah!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57But with numbers, things don't always go to plan.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00What's £3.25 add £2.75?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Though, when they are on top form, they're formidable.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06These girls can truly sell, sell, sell.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10You better not pop this balloon, or you owe us £1.50!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Victores,
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Team Sterling,
0:02:16 > 0:02:17I hope you're ready for this!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21It's the semifinals. And it's simple.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25The team that makes the most money in today's Trade Your Way challenge
0:02:25 > 0:02:28will go through to our Grand Final in the USA.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37The teams have arrived on the South Coast,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40with no idea what their semifinal challenge will be.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44What they do know is that they need to win here to get to America.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Good morning, Team Sterling. Good morning, Victores.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Congratulations for making it through
0:03:01 > 0:03:05to the semifinals on the beautiful Sussex coast.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09You've done extremely well to get to this point.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13But only the team that wins this challenge will be going to America.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17This weekend, a hundred clowns and hundreds of people
0:03:17 > 0:03:21will descend on Bognor Regis for the annual clown convention.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28Your task is sell flowers that squirt water, red noses, wigs,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32and all sorts of clown props to the people at the clown convention.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38You'll get to negotiate the lowest prices and then sell, sell, sell.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Here's your trading fund.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46As it's the semifinals, I've given each team £150.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Team Sterling, Victores, are you ready?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58ALL: Yes!
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Let's go.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Team Sterling and the Victores have £150 to spend on clown accessories.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Buying the right jokes today will see one of them
0:04:14 > 0:04:16laugh their way to the USA.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Before you start a business,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22you need to understand the product that you're selling.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26So I've brought you here to Brighton to meet your expert, Dr Simpo.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Asking the right questions today
0:04:28 > 0:04:31will guarantee you a place to the USA.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Here are your books.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Victores, Team Sterling, are you ready?- Yes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Let's go!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Dr Simpo may dress like a clown,
0:04:46 > 0:04:50but underneath beats the heart of a ruthless businessman.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53The teams have just 15 minutes to learn his tricks of the trade.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58And that's almost like magic.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Is there one particular product that sells more than the rest?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03'Well done, Rachel.'
0:05:03 > 0:05:06The wind-up chattering teeth are always a good one.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10The googly-eye glasses.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14You can do a bit of a nodding dog with these.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Want to try these on?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21What are your top clown items, as in what a clown would wear and do?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Well, a clown wouldn't be complete without a red nose.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30A jumbo bow tie.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32What do the bow ties retail at?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34'Smart question, Isaac.'
0:05:34 > 0:05:40The bow tie like this is 450p, which in new money is £4.50.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43How do you approach customers?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45A great question from Rosie.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Performance is key.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Basically, you want to get someone to buy into what it is
0:05:49 > 0:05:50that you're selling.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52You want someone to live the experience,
0:05:52 > 0:05:58and you can do this with a multitude of different visual aids or gags.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00So would you like a nut?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Yes, please.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03OK, you can offer everyone a nut.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Whay!
0:06:04 > 0:06:09If you're offering a nut, you can do it more nastily, like that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11And that's a little bit more dramatic.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Remember, you're attracting them over.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Dr Simpo is giving them lots of advice.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16He's saying they've got to break the ice,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20attract the customers to their stall, be bright and funny.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21I hope they're listening.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Right, teams, time for questions is up.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Now you have to decide what to buy.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27TRUMPET FANFARE
0:06:32 > 0:06:36If I was doing this task, I'd bring the essence of Dr Simpo alive.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40I'd act like him, talk like him, and even walk like him.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43At the end of the day, this is all about having a laugh.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48'The negotiation, however, is no joking matter.'
0:06:48 > 0:06:51'Let's hope both teams have a serious game plan.'
0:06:51 > 0:06:54We want accessories, not full costumes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Get some of the cheap stuff like chatter teeth and whoopee cushions.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Team Sterling. So, you met Dr Simpo, what do you think about him?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Very strong character!
0:07:03 > 0:07:08In terms of your task, what are the key products you're going to go for?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12For the smaller stuff like the squirty gun and the squirty wing,
0:07:12 > 0:07:17cos people would rather spend £2 as opposed to £4,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19which is why we focused more on the smaller items.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20What's your role going to be?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21To just haggle him down.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23How you going to do that?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27By maybe a little bit of charm and catchphrases,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29just cos he's quite crazy about jokes.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Remember your strengths from last time and improve on your weaknesses.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- See you in the negotiation. - Thank you.- Bye.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41'So, Team Sterling are going to play it for laughs.'
0:07:41 > 0:07:42'How about the Victores?'
0:07:44 > 0:07:46What did you think of Dr Simpo?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50He demonstrated a lot of the products which gave us a lot of information.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Can you remember some of the things you did last time
0:07:53 > 0:07:56which you don't want to repeat this time in the negotiation?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Yeah, I think we got some of the products for prices
0:07:58 > 0:07:59that we could have got lower.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01So what is your strategy this time?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Start just above half price and work our way up.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- So you're going to haggle harder? - Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09All right. Well, listen, the negotiation, as you know,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12is the most important thing, because you need to get
0:08:12 > 0:08:15as many products as you can for your £150.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Are you feeling confident? - Yes.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25The Victores believe that by holding their nerve in this negotiation
0:08:25 > 0:08:27they will see success.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Team Sterling reckon that by driving a hard bargain
0:08:30 > 0:08:34with a few jokes up their sleeve, they will strike the best deals.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37But it's down to who can come up smelling of roses
0:08:37 > 0:08:39in this negotiation.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Now they've had a crash course in clowning,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48both teams have got one chance to get the best price.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51First up, Team Sterling.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Isaac, Rachel and Aiden,
0:08:55 > 0:09:00who've been working on a negotiation routine to impress Dr Simpo.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02So it's no secret you're crazy about jokes,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04so hopefully you'll be crazy to give us a great bargain.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Wow, I wasn't expecting that. Here we go.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09With the googly eyes...
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Wait, wait, wait. I've got a game we can play.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17I spy with my googly eye, Mr Simpo giving us an unforgettable price.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19£11.60 for half a dozen?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I like the cut of your jib, sir.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32I'll give you a dozen at 150 pence each,
0:09:32 > 0:09:37which is 35 pence cheaper than what you're asking for
0:09:37 > 0:09:38cos I like your little joke.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Yeah, can we take that offer, please? Thank you.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51This team have really thought about how to work this negotiation.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54They've got little jokes and tricks up their sleeves.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55It's a fantastic performance.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Also, could we get the fly in ice cube?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01We would like to get...
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Wait, wait, wait.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05What did the fly say to the ice?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I don't know. What did the fly say to the ice?
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- Give Team Sterling this great price. - A dozen for £10.30.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17With a sense of humour like that, this team will go far.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20How about £11.50?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25What about £11.30?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28What about £11.31?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Go on, do 30, we gave you a good joke.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Go, Isaac! Every penny counts.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Go on, then.- Thank you.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Little charmer.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41With six more deals under their belts,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Team Sterling are playing Dr Simpo at his own game.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51After everything we've bought so far it comes to just over £134,
0:10:51 > 0:10:56and we're wondering if we could get 10 of the inflatable high 5 hands.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01I might not have 10 available,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05but I reckon I could at least supply you with eight,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08and I'll make the rest up with some other quality products.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I think we should invest in five of them.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Yeah, just get five of them.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Just the five of them. OK, I'll let you do that.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Wow, wow, wow, this negotiation is excellent!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Talking Mr Simpo's language
0:11:22 > 0:11:26seems to have got Isaac, Rachel and Aiden the last laugh.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30So what gag have you got to go with the fresh milk, sir?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well, what do cows do on dates?
0:11:33 > 0:11:34I'm not sure.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36They go to the moooovies.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Very good.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42£130, £140, £150.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I shall invest it wisely in lots of fake poo.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Nice doing business with you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49High five.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50High 10.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52High 15.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Thank you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55And that's £150 in my sky rocket, thank you very much.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58For me, that was a textbook negotiation.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01'Next up, the Victores.'
0:12:02 > 0:12:05'Their strategy is to start at half the retail price
0:12:05 > 0:12:06'for each clown trick.'
0:12:09 > 0:12:12How will Rosie, Rachel and Maisie do?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Hi. So, we obviously really like your products,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21they're really interesting and unique. So let's get started.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Our first product we'd like to buy is the chatty teeth.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27OK, let me just take out my eyepad.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29We're looking at 20 of those.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33We're wondering if you can give them to us for £15 at 75p each.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Rosie has already missed a trick by not starting with a joke.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Tell you what, if you take two dozen cos I sell them in dozens,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47which is 24, you can have them at 75 pence each.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53OK, thank you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55That's four more chatty teeth than they wanted,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and they could have got a better price.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I want to see a lot more assertive negotiation.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04So we're looking at your googly eyes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05The googly eyes?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- The glasses.- Yes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10And we're looking at around five of them.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Five of those.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12At around £2.40 each.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24If you take six, you can have them at £2.40 each, or 240 pence.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28OK, yeah, thank you.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Small quantities at high prices with little negotiation? Not good.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37And they've paid 90 pence more per pair than team Sterling.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41We're like to buy three of the flag guns, and you sell them at £4,
0:13:41 > 0:13:45and we'll like to buy them at a price of £2.50 each.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53You can have six for £2.50.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58OK, yes please.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01'The girls have let Dr Simpo dictate this negotiation.'
0:14:01 > 0:14:03'Now they've only a couple of pounds left.'
0:14:05 > 0:14:10We've spent £147.65.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Could we maybe buy another product?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Dr Simpo is running rings around the girls.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19What's he going to get them to buy next?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22These are original fortune-telling miracle fish.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26These are normally 50 pence each but I'll do you 8 for £2.35.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Thank you.- Thank you.- Yes, please.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Come on, Victores.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34You've just bought something you didn't even want.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36We're 6p over our price.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Tell you what, I'll do you a favour.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Tell me a joke, and if you make me laugh, I'll let you off the 6p.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44OK.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47What do you call a gorilla with six balaclavas on?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I've no idea, what do you call a gorilla with six balaclavas?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Anything you like, cos he can't hear you.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Oh, dear, that hasn't gone down well.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03So you didn't make me laugh with your attempt at a joke,
0:15:03 > 0:15:10I will take one fortune-telling fish back, and let you off the 6p.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12OK, thank you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15130, 140, £150.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Thank you very much.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24For their £150, the Victores got 89 items to make a clown proud.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29They bought small amounts of 13 different products, including eight
0:15:29 > 0:15:33red noses, six bang guns, six squirty flowers
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and three inflatable high fives.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The Victores have a good number of bigger items in their batch,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43which can be sold at a higher price.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48For their £150, Team Sterling bought 157 items,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51nearly double the amount of the Victores.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57They got 11 different types of jokes, including 24 chatty teeth,
0:15:57 > 0:16:0220 red noses, 17 squirty gums and 12 jumping fingers.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06The girls' negotiation let them down today,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09which means they'll have to work harder tomorrow.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Tomorrow, one team will be laughing all the way to the USA.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18For the other, it's straight back home with some very sad faces.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Today, the Victores will go head-to-head with Team Sterling.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Whichever team triumphs will be on a plane
0:16:38 > 0:16:41to the USA to compete in our Grand Final.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The time has come to see who can make the most money
0:16:44 > 0:16:46in our semifinal.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Good Morning, Victores. Good Morning, Team Sterling.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11The clown convention at Bognor Regis
0:17:11 > 0:17:14attracts clowns from all over the world,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18and soon the streets will be full of potential customers
0:17:18 > 0:17:20who come to watch the parade.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24You have just two hours to sell them your clown props.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27The team that takes the most money will win themselves
0:17:27 > 0:17:30a place in the Grand Final in the USA,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32and only they will stand a chance of being crowned
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Britain's best young traders.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39The stakes are high, so you need to do your very best.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Teams, are you ready?!
0:17:42 > 0:17:43ALL: Yes!
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Let's set up the stalls.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46And bring on the clowns!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Clowning around is what'll see the teams selling well
0:17:56 > 0:17:57in this challenge.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00And that's what'll get one of them through to the final.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Everything is blue.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Victores, I'm liking the look,
0:18:04 > 0:18:05you're getting into the spirit of things.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Let's talk pricing. What are you selling the stuff at?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It's around £2.50, and these are £6.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13£6 and everything else is £2.50?
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Some of the things are £4. The hands are £4.50.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22OK, start clowning around.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Team Sterling, you've got a lot of stock here.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Tell me about your pricing.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29The little items are £2.50 each, or 3 for £6.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Are you confident you can get through all this stock?
0:18:32 > 0:18:33- Yes.- Yes, definitely.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36And at the end, if we still have a lot over,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39we'll just reduce the prices and hopefully it'll still be good then.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42The stage is set. Let the competition commence.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Teams, it's the semifinals. Are you ready?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52ALL: Yes!
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Three, two, one, start selling!
0:18:53 > 0:18:55AIR HORN BLOWS
0:18:58 > 0:19:02The Victores immediately set about following Dr Simpos's advice,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04clowning around with their customers.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I'll go and shake this.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09You can take this one out and demonstrate it to them
0:19:09 > 0:19:10and I'll demonstrate it here.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Wooo!
0:19:13 > 0:19:15They're really tasty nuts when you open it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Oh!!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- You want to buy the nuts? - Yeah.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20- Would you like to buy two? - Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- That's £11.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25A bow tie, please.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27OK, that's £5. Thank you.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Thank you very much.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33We've sold two of these exploding nuts already just from performing.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Cos we're acting like clowns, that makes them want to buy clown things.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39And their big items are moving quickly.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43But Team Sterling are struggling to shift
0:19:43 > 0:19:46the mountains of stock they have.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Would you like to purchase any clown jokes or props for today?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Even brilliant salesman Isaac is having difficulty.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Any clown props or jokes for today?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You can wear a clown hat and clown mask with glasses,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03to look like a clown, no?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Have a look.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09There's one. You like that, yeah?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12And Aidan's putting in the effort, but with little reward.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I don't think it's going that well, to be honest,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17no-one wants to buy anything.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It's quite a tough crowd at the moment,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22so hopefully it will get better.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Team Sterling, it's a clown convention, get a nose on.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30And you know, you could be doing a lot more to attract your customers.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Top tip. Clown around.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38She thought I should dress up a bit more,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41even though this nose is not staying on.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43'But the girls seem to be staying on track.'
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Victores, I'm liking the look.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48You're getting into the spirit of things.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I've heard the clowns are coming, this is prime time to sell.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Everyone want to see the clowns, so get on with it!
0:20:53 > 0:20:57The crowds will at their biggest as the clowns arrive.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Aaaah!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Both teams must take full advantage
0:21:02 > 0:21:05when the clown parade passes their stalls.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07The Victores don't need much encouragement.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Are they the ones that have lots of colours in?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Oh, this one? The exploding nuts?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20When you open them, all these colourful things fly out.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Wooo!
0:21:24 > 0:21:26OK, Thank you very much.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Thank you.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I personally think that this wig would go really great
0:21:31 > 0:21:32with your scarf.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34As all the clowns walk past,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36you could be wearing this really cool wig.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Thank you. You've got 50p change.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43In this competition, to have great negotiation skills is an advantage,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47but if you can't then sell the product, that's a problem.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49'The girls are having a storming day today.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52'But Sterling need some expert help.'
0:21:53 > 0:21:59You have to be really loud if you want to sell things, don't you?
0:21:59 > 0:22:00OK.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Roll up, roll up! Come here, look what I've got here!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Look what I've got here, aaaargh!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Finally, Sterling's sales spring into life.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Thank you, cheers, see ya.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20We do like a good whoopee cushion.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22A successful sale, mate, well done.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24High five!
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Carry on, please, carry on, please. Bye!
0:22:30 > 0:22:35'There's 20 minutes still to sell, but the clowns have moved on.'
0:22:35 > 0:22:39I did say that when the clowns have gone, so will the crowds.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44With a place in the final at stake, any potential customer is fair game.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45How about a hat for your dog?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48We've got a little outfit here, that might suit your dog.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Little hat? Little glasses?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54In a situation where you find that you don't have a lot of customers,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57what you have to do is slash your prices, do the deals,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01and try and sell to every single person that you see.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Everything a pound!
0:23:03 > 0:23:07'So the teams go to war over any customer left.'
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Them kids!
0:23:08 > 0:23:13- Hello!- Hi! Would you like to buy three practical jokes for a pound?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Come on!
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Hi, would you like ten practical jokes for a pound?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And with minutes left to bag a place in the final,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25they'll sell anything to anyone for any price.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28You can have it all for £2.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Oh my God, thank you so much.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Thank you.- Just take what you want.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Take some milk. It's not real, but, you know.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Please, just give us that pound and we can give you all of these.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Just a pound, just a pound.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Thank you so much!
0:23:47 > 0:23:50..five, four, three, two, one.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Stop selling!
0:23:51 > 0:23:53AIR HORN BLOWS
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Is that it?- Yes, that's it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Guys, I can't believe we sold all that.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Victores, a group hug there. Can I have your cash tin, please?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Yes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Thank you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- CASH RATTLES - How do you think you've done?
0:24:09 > 0:24:10- We've done our best. - Done OK.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- That's all I want. Good luck.- Thank you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Team Sterling, can I have your cash tin?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19CASH RATTLES
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Feeling confident?- Yes.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I don't know. I'm really nervous.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I think we've done enough to get to the USA.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Hopefully, anyway.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Yeah. Just have to stay positive.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43They've pushed it to the limit, but only one team can win.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Have the Team Sterling taken enough cash today
0:24:49 > 0:24:51to be the second team through to our Grand Final?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Or will the Victores prove victorious?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I've been watching both teams very closely for the last two days
0:25:02 > 0:25:06and I have to say I've been very impressed with what I've seen.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Over 2,000 young traders applied to be in your shoes,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13but only four teams made it through,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17and you've made it through to the semifinals.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22But only one team can win today's challenge.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25And they will be going to the USA to our Grand Final,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28and have a real chance of being crowned
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Britain's Best Young Traders.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Your challenge was to make as much money as possible
0:25:36 > 0:25:40selling clown accessories and props to the crowds
0:25:40 > 0:25:41at the clown convention.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45The cash has been counted.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Let me tell you, it was very, very close.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Just £10.30 in it.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Team Sterling, you took...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07£107.70.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Victores, you took...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22£97.40.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30Congratulations, Team Sterling! You are in the Grand Final of USA!
0:26:30 > 0:26:34We're Team Sterling and we're going to the USA!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36We're really happy for the other team
0:26:36 > 0:26:40cos they were really nice and I hope they win.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Team Sterling never gave up and are on their way to America.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54These firm Essex friends have now got to do it all over again
0:26:54 > 0:26:58when they compete in our USA Grand Final.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Oh, my gosh, I still can't believe it, it's so surreal.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Business is a numbers game, and if you've been given a budget,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09the key thing is to buy as much product as you can with it,
0:27:09 > 0:27:14because when it comes to the sell, it gives you an enormous advantage,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and that's exactly what our winning team did today.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19And it's well worth remembering
0:27:19 > 0:27:21if you want to Trade Your Way To The USA.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Next time on Trade Your Way To The USA,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29it's our Grand Final in Florida!
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Would you like to buy a doughnut?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Someone just gave me a dollar. I think it's the accent, really.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34- Have a taster.- That's all yours.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36He's just sold tonnes of doughnuts over there!
