Poor Allan (Dragons Den)

[Robert Lambie]

that’s the third sign maker ive seen in the dragons den in the past year.
none have been successful.

i have to say i recon ide have been the same as Allan tonight, going into pitch against those dragons, throw in the fact you are in a studio with TV camera’s everywhere etc etc and who wouldn’t be near to buckling. 😕 :lol1:
as was said though, regardless of nerves etc. you have to be prepared and very much on the ball with quick clear answers.

[Martin Pearson]

I don’t watch the program but have seen it advertised, so what was a signmaker going on the program??

[Robert Lambie]

Here you go Martin…
as ive said, have to take your hat off to these guys. even though they never walked away with investors. they had the b**ls on them to try.

Cheers Robert, will have a look at those a bit latter on.

[David Lowery]

He was onto a loser as soon as I noticed he had missed the apostrophe out of Dragon’s Court :lol1:

[Cheryl Smith]

what a terrible fit of nerves the fella had…..its easy to say oh id do better…but ive had knocking knees reading in public…

[Karl Williams]

Well I take my hat off to him. His nerves got the better of him but hey ho who wouldn’t be nervous in that situation. I think the Dragon’s treated him badly and ignored the fact that he had a good product that would sell.

[Phill Fenton]

From the information the Dragons eventually managed to prise out of him, I have calculated that their annual return on investment would have been a mere 2.46% at current performance levels.

No wonder they were out 😕
