Ok, we all watched well most watch apprentice, and I would like to know what would you do if sir alan sugar gave you 200£ and gave you one day to make as much money as you can?
I would buy something from the wholesale and try doing door to door sales or alternativly set up a small stand and sell the items such as fruit, or gadgets.
Re: What would you do if you were on the apprentice?
I think both teams should have concentrated more on the night time business, rather than daytime: and then find a hungry crowd and feed it: - so pick products to sell in covent garden or leicester square to theatre goers.
And pick a different product to sell, maybe at speakers corner day time.
Even an item of hot or cold food maybe.
I think where mattered a lot more than what!
For example face painting would have worked a lot better outside the natural history museum, or outside the tower of london - maybe even convince a busy toy shop to let you do it outside there store, for a cut of the takings.
Re: What would you do if you were on the apprentice?
I think their biggest mistake was to not dedicate enough time to organising the evening work during the day. I would have taken one person out of the team during the day, whos job was to get something big sorted for the evening.
That gives you the day for the rest of the team to get a bit of money made, and then it gives the other guy all day to sort out something that will make big money.
Not quite sure what though - I've only given it 30 seconds thought, and then my mind drifted to thinking about going to bed!
Re: What would you do if you were on the apprentice?
hand washing of cars till dusk. Perhaps hire a pressure washer - do vans as well. Split the group up so each one earned by themselves and make use of the numbers. Probally too much like work for this lot though. As it was, too much chat/ arguing/ hanging about and doing sod all.........
Re: What would you do if you were on the apprentice?
I thought the face painting idea was OK. If it was me I would have hot footed it to the nearest Waitrose or other supermarket and tried there. You could tell they weren't in touch with kids, for God's sake they headed to a primary school at chucking out time... woeful! And the DJ idea??? Look at them! The sing o gram or whatever it was was better. The kissogram was frankly embarrassing.
Oh and that Jadine (think that is her name) needs a serious talking to.
Re: What would you do if you were on the apprentice?
Sell hanging baskets door to door.
Buy the basket, compost and plants for about £9, sell them for £18.
People love those, but most can't be bothered to go to the trouble of making their own.
Not an all year round business, but with six people selling them and one making them up, you could have turned over £500 in a day easily.
