The person who lost the most tasks won!




(Actually he won on how he got to the head buyer of Walmart.)

Good choice

I think he was hired as much for any future inventions as for his current one.

Yes - as KB said - he is the one who will benefit most for Suralan's input.

Just like they did on Dragons Den with a guy who got stuff into John Lewis.

I'll take a stab at them being fired in this order:

Jim - first to go despite his good sales ability and chat, he is a mediocre decision maker
Susan - fast learner but still too naive
Helen - methodical and mostly competent, but lack of something on the proactive business front

leaving... Tom as the winner. Strange as that may sound.

Good call!

I remember that.

I wonder if the deal with Lord Alan includes Tom having to include his existing inventions into the pot.

Valuable lesson here for the real freelancers among us. The more mistakes you make the more successful ye shall become.

There's some truth in that, you need to fail to succeed, how else will you learn? A first time success may be bad for the long run.

I mean... look at Germany.

And on Dara, we're back to the nail file. Tom looks like he needs a shave. Perhaps he should go into the personal grooming market.

12 weeks wasted, it was the CV wot did it. I didn't know until tonight that he'd sold to Walmart and had him down as a dead man walking a few weeks back. He did do well last week for the first time though.
