00:01I'm after workers, not shirkers. Winners, not whingers.
00:07Lord Sugar is on the hunt for a brand new business partner.
00:11Just to make it perfectly clear, make me money and don't piss me off.
00:17Fighting it out for his funding.
00:2116 ambitious entrepreneurs.
00:25This was absolute garbage.
00:27You don't know what your bloody will do. It was bloody chaos.
00:30Let's go.
00:31It's a deal worth fighting for.
00:33You took a step back.
00:35You took, I didn't step back, you pushed me back.
00:3816 candidates.
00:39Action.
00:40Just do it.
00:41I'm going to stop there.
00:42Please listen to me.
00:43What the hell have they been doing?
00:4412 tough weeks.
00:46If it's an issue, why would you walk off?
00:48Why are you still talking?
00:49One life-changing opportunity.
00:52You're fired. You're fired.
00:54You couldn't give away Prosecco on a hen night.
00:56You're fired.
01:01Previously.
01:02You'll be setting up your very own urban gardening business.
01:07Tom was head gardener.
01:09Reduce to clear.
01:10Lavender.
01:11Two pound a pot.
01:12But his push to prune prices.
01:14I'm a little bit nervous that we haven't got enough stuff.
01:17Me too.
01:18Left his team dead and buried.
01:20I would say I'm disappointed in the work.
01:23Coyote watered down the numbers.
01:25If we look at this whole thing holistically, about a two hours work, I think 300 and max.
01:29And got that sinking feeling.
01:31I was worried it was a little bit too cheap.
01:33Really, I was quite the opposite, you know.
01:35On the other team, Daniel's urban jungle.
01:37Best tropical rooftop in London.
01:39Fail to hit the mark.
01:41Logistically, it's a complete nightmare.
01:43Okay.
01:44For Jackie and Khadija, turf wars.
01:47You need to cooperate.
01:48I have.
01:49You said 50.
01:50I said yes.
01:51Let's go.
01:52And dirty dealings.
01:53Girls, I'll give you 1-3-5 and that's absolutely the best I'm doing.
01:56I just want you out of my shop now.
01:58But in the boardroom, their team was top of the tree.
02:02Well, you won.
02:03On the losing team, Sabrina drooped.
02:06I'm not sure whether you have the experience that I'm looking for.
02:10Tom was nearly potted.
02:12You fouled miserably.
02:13But it was Coyote.
02:15I don't think you have what I'm looking for.
02:17Who was rooted out.
02:18It is with regret, Coyote, that you're fired.
02:22Now, nine remain to fight for the chance to become Lord Sugar's business partner.
02:364.30am.
02:40Hello.
02:41Good morning.
02:42Lord Sugar would like you to make your way to the Calvin Grove Art Gallery and Museum.
02:46in Glasgow.
02:47Please pack an overnight bag.
02:49The cars will be leaving in 30 minutes.
02:51Guys, we're going to Glasgow!
02:53What?
02:54Oh!
02:58Are you ready to get beaten this week?
02:59Yeah.
03:00What happened last week?
03:02I survived.
03:03Second PM challenge where I lost and I'm still here.
03:07Camilla, do your best Scottish accent.
03:09I'm a Scottish millionaire.
03:10I don't know why they'll take this to Glasgow.
03:12It's got to be something related to Scotland, obviously.
03:15I mean, what's the things in Scotland?
03:30They do deep-fried chocolate bars.
03:31They do, though, in Middlesbrough.
03:32They don't do those in London.
03:33Glasgow, Scotland's largest city and a major player in the modern art market.
03:48In the West End, and home to 22 themed galleries...
03:54...Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
03:57Good morning.
04:10I'm sorry I can't be with you today, but I've been called away on some very urgent business.
04:16This building you're standing in is home to one of Europe's greatest art collections.
04:22Now, the global art market is worth a massive £47 billion.
04:28And art dealers are an important part of this lucrative sector.
04:32So, for your next task, I want you to sell the collections of some up-and-coming contemporary artists.
04:40You'll need to choose an artist to represent and then sell their work at your very own gallery event tomorrow.
04:47I'll also arrange for each team to meet a corporate client who's looking to purchase a new piece of art for their business.
04:56The team that generates the most amount of money...
04:59...will win, and on the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
05:04Good luck, and I'll see you back in this boardroom in a few days.
05:06Two days to make money from contemporary art.
05:11Pick the right person to represent, and Commission on Sales could see the team's cash-in.
05:18First choice.
05:20So, does anyone here know anything about art, have any kind of background?
05:24Who to put in charge?
05:25I have absolutely no experience in art.
05:29I did an A-level in art, but this type of art is completely different to what I did at A-level.
05:34My dad's an artist, my sister's an artist, so I come from the background, even though I chose not to go down that route.
05:39I love art, I visit art galleries, I think I kind of understand the overall market.
05:45So, I would love to be project manager if you will all support me.
05:48100%. I'm more than happy.
05:49Amazing.
05:50OK.
05:52We're now on week eight, and it's about time that I took the reins again.
05:56I don't want to watch somebody else making mistakes.
05:59I want to be in charge of this one, and I want to lead us to victory.
06:03On the other team...
06:05Not trying to oversell it, but I minored in fine art.
06:08Framing her credentials.
06:10I actually did a bit of postmodern impressionism.
06:13Sponsorship consultant, Jackie.
06:15My dream job would be to be an art dealer.
06:16I'm just going to throw it out there. I think Jackie should probably do...
06:19I would love to.
06:20I second that motion.
06:21Cool.
06:22So, in terms of team split, I kind of was thinking, well, two people for the art meeting.
06:27I would certainly like to get involved in this section of the arts, and that's where I'll have the most value in this team.
06:31Daniel and I will stay with the art side if you guys can head up the client meeting.
06:35Sarah, I think you're best placed as a sub-team leader just because of your background in corporate, and I think that's important in terms of understanding what they're looking for.
06:41I was thinking, Tom, if you would like to come with me and we'll together form the art team, and then ladies, if you will be on the sub-team, I think, Sian, it would be great if you were sub-team leader, just with that creativity, and I think you'll make a great team.
06:55Is it not worth splitting up the two people with the most amount of experience in art?
06:58It's only going to work if we work together, you know, there's equal responsibility.
07:02All right, guys, let's go do this, come on.
07:0611am.
07:08Today, half of each team will pick out artists with potential.
07:12So, I'm quite keen with trying to get a high margin for ourselves.
07:17How about this, if I go in and just doing the opening, and then you can deal with the closing financials commission?
07:22Sure, I'm happy with that.
07:23The rest will meet a corporate client in the market to buy big.
07:28We need to use this opportunity to get as much information from them as possible.
07:32Do you think that the approach needs to be different, because obviously they're Glaswegians?
07:37I don't have a direct experience with Glaswegians.
07:40I mean, a lot of people say the further up north you get the friendlier you are.
07:44Yeah, I'll back that up.
07:46Central Glasgow.
07:49For half of each team, a choice of artists to represent.
07:53I'm Jackie. Hi Jackie, nice to meet you.
07:55First, for Jackie and Daniel, line drawing artist, Sophie Morgan.
08:00So, I was paralysed when I was 18 in a car crash.
08:03And after I left hospital, I learned a technique called blind drawing.
08:05You close your eyes and you draw.
08:07That's amazing. That's probably one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard.
08:10You can certainly draw better with your eyes closed than I ever could with my eyes open.
08:14Eyes open, yeah. No, definitely.
08:16I think it would be easy to sell.
08:20For a lot of people, it will seem too minimal.
08:21I would be tempted not to go with that.
08:23I agree.
08:25Next up.
08:26Nice to meet you.
08:27Hey Daniel, lovely to meet you.
08:29Sculptor Solvig Einars Dottir.
08:31How many goby bears are in this?
08:33Oh, you'd have to count.
08:35That's amazing. I'm really drawn to this piece. This is amazing.
08:38It's inspired by nature and the parallel is kind of there between.
08:42So, almost open for interpretation from whoever's doing it.
08:45I think that's excellent. Yeah, I can certainly buy into that myself
08:47and I certainly see those messages coming forward also.
08:51There is certainly a fine line between interpretation and blagging.
08:55A fine line that I'm probably treading very dangerously at the moment,
08:58but that's art for you. That's what you've got to do.
09:01I really liked her.
09:03But in terms of mass appeal, I think if someone's got a house or a flat,
09:06could you really have a big structure with a duck with his arse in the air?
09:11Do you know what? I agree.
09:13Wow, what lovely bits of work.
09:16First stop for the other team.
09:18I put on paint in a way to describe what I want to say.
09:21Oil painter, Eleanor Carlingford.
09:23There's a real deep meaning, isn't there?
09:25To me, feelings and emotions are deep.
09:27Focused on the figures, Jasmine and Tom.
09:29I'd really like to get an understanding as to the price range.
09:32So this size of painting is $1,960.
09:36OK. And these ones are $950.
09:39OK. We were looking at around the 40% to 50% commission.
09:44Is that...? OK.
09:4650%. Which half of the painting did you paint?
09:49OK. So I'd like to offer you 35%.
09:51OK. I'm sure we could work with that.
09:54That's great. Good to know.
09:57She was very stern on the commission.
09:59Yeah.
10:00And how she went into it on the fact that she'd done these paintings.
10:03She'd created it.
10:04Do you think we could have pushed her to 40?
10:05She knows what she wants.
10:07Next, Sophie's line drawings.
10:10Hi, Sophie, I'm Jasmine.
10:11Hi, Jasmine. Great to meet you.
10:12Hi, I'm Tom.
10:14For Jasmine, a chance to take the lead.
10:15So is that how you would sell them in the frames?
10:18These are different price points.
10:19OK.
10:20If they're framed or if they're unframed.
10:21So what are those price...
10:22Sorry.
10:23What are those price points?
10:24Sorry, you carry on, Jasmine.
10:26What are the price points?
10:27Yes, what are those price points?
10:28So they range from $290 and then they go up to $350.
10:32We would be looking at really selling.
10:35If you'd work with us on that, then we would definitely work hard to get you sold out tomorrow.
10:40And we'll speak again soon.
10:41See you soon.
10:42Thank you. Bye.
10:44Yeah.
10:45Bit different working with Jasmine.
10:46I did get a little bit frustrated, I must admit.
10:49When I tried to talk, I literally had to just try and speak over her.
10:53So she just needs to know it's a two-way thing.
10:55I felt sometimes maybe just let me edge in there a little bit more.
10:58Sorry, am I jumping over you, Tom?
11:00You were just speaking a little bit in a good way.
11:02Yeah, yeah.
11:03But you need to just allow me in a little bit more.
11:04OK.
11:05But next time when you go on to the numbers, I'll take over, OK?
11:08You pick up from there.
11:09Perfect.
11:10Team.
11:11Let's go.
11:12Lunchtime.
11:15Hi, I'm Khadija.
11:16Nice to meet you.
11:17I'm Gilad Tiefenbrun.
11:18I'm the managing director.
11:19Looking to invest in art for their showroom.
11:22So the Lynn Home is where we bring prestigious clients from all around the world to show them what we make.
11:27High-end sound system brand, Lynn.
11:30People come here and imagine what it's like to have one of our systems in their home.
11:34So maybe you'd like to listen to a bit of music.
11:36Oh, please.
11:37Oh, please, guys.
11:38I'll take a few notes.
11:39Very good systems.
11:40Mmm.
11:41Is it surround sound?
11:42So in terms of where we're going to put the art, you wouldn't want anything that's going
11:52to block the view of the wonderful sound system we've got there, so nothing that's going
11:56to be in this space.
11:57Have you got any objections to...
11:59Let's enjoy the music.
12:02Very nice.
12:03Have you...
12:04Objection.
12:05Is it ending?
12:06Did you have a budget in mind?
12:07We do, so a maximum of £4,000 across as many pieces as you think appropriate.
12:18What kind of artwork are you more swaying towards?
12:21We're looking for a piece or pieces that reflect three key pillars.
12:25Innovation, provenance and experience.
12:29Experience.
12:32Provenance and experience.
12:34Experience.
12:35The client's brand is all about very high-quality speakers.
12:40The client was very clear about what his ethos is.
12:43However, I'm not sure the team actually grasped any of those key messages.
12:47Lovely to meet you.
12:48Yes.
12:49Can't wait to see you again.
12:50Bye-bye.
12:51Bye-bye.
12:52Getting to grips with their corporate client...
12:55Events website it is on...
12:59We've created something really quite special.
13:01Very innovative.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Sabrina and Sian.
13:04You've got some amazing pieces already, but, you know, we could really bring in a piece
13:08that jumps out.
13:09You know, looking around, we want a statement piece somewhere that, you know, really links
13:13to everything else, but is also unique in itself.
13:15I think, I mean, we're...
13:16It's a really fun, dynamic office.
13:19Fun people, fun space.
13:21Do you have a specific budget in mind?
13:23If something really wowed us, we'd go up to probably 4,000.
13:27It was an absolute pleasure to meet you both here today.
13:30Thanks, guys.
13:31Look forward to seeing what you show us.
13:32Yeah.
13:33Sian and Sabrina saw immediately that this was a fun environment, and they really took part.
13:38They understood what the client's looking for.
13:40I think they built a really nice rapport.
13:42PHONE RINGS
13:43Hi, guys.
13:44Hi, Jasmine.
13:45How are you doing?
13:46Yeah, we're doing really well, thank you.
13:47How did you girls get on with the corporate client?
13:50Great.
13:51It was great.
13:52We got some really good feedback.
13:53The place is super cool.
13:54Like, it's really, really trendy.
13:56They just wanted us to capture the essence of their brand, so they wanted it to be all
13:59about things being inspiring and cool.
14:01This sounds like a brand that isn't afraid to make an arty, creative statement.
14:06They have a budget of four grand.
14:08Guys, we've got to wrap this up, so we've got to shoot.
14:10But we'll bear that in mind.
14:12Thanks for being clear on it, okay?
14:13All right, see you later.
14:14Hi, ladies.
14:15Hey, guys.
14:16So, we've just been to see a corporate client.
14:17There's colour theme throughout.
14:18It's quite neutral colours.
14:19They have three pillars.
14:20Innovation, provenance, and experience.
14:21That's what they're all about.
14:22What would your interpretation of that be?
14:23So, innovation, that was obviously, like...
14:25something out there.
14:26Yeah.
14:27Everything might be so cool.
14:28Do we know what provenance means?
14:29I think it's, like, so provenance, so provoke.
14:30I don't know.
14:31I thought provenance was in relation to, like, the province that you're from.
14:32Okay, so nobody knows.
14:33So that's everything.
14:34So good luck.
14:35Bye.
14:36Bye.
14:37Bye.
14:38Bye.
14:39Bye.
14:40Bye.
14:41Bye.
14:42Bye.
14:43Bye.
14:44Bye.
14:45Bye.
14:46Bye.
14:47Bye.
14:48Bye.
14:49Bye.
14:50Bye.
14:51Bye.
14:52Bye.
14:53Bye.
14:54Bye.
14:55Bye.
14:56Bye.
14:57Oh, my God.
14:58He was like, oh, my God.
14:59I sense a bitchy comment coming on Daniel.
15:02Oh, my God.
15:03He was about to go in on us for a bit.
15:05It's their problem if they didn't listen to what we had to say.
15:08Mm-hmm.
15:09Do you know how...
15:10What, like, do we...
15:11I mean, I love that they told us innovation, experience, provenance,
15:14and they don't even know what provenance means.
15:16The fact that they needed to bring it up.
15:18It's important you need to know these three things.
15:20What's the third thing?
15:21Oh, I don't know.
15:224pm.
15:23How are you?
15:24Hello.
15:25Hi, Jackie.
15:26Hi, Jackie.
15:27Hi.
15:28Last chance for lifestyle brand owner Daniel...
15:30Personally, I find them quite captivating.
15:32My eyes are initially drawn to this one here.
15:34..to lay on the charm.
15:36It almost seems quite dark and sinister from one perspective,
15:39but then when you keep looking at it, it's got this kind of brightness
15:42that emits from kind of the centre of the picture.
15:44Can I ask for what your personal take on this one is?
15:46I could only reiterate what you've just said.
15:49OK, so we're very much on the same wavelength.
15:51Absolutely.
15:52What I'd like to propose is a 40% commission.
15:55Agreed.
15:56Amazing.
15:57That's good.
15:58Thank you very much, Eleanor.
15:59Take care.
16:00Good to meet you both.
16:01So, decision time.
16:02Well, I think the corporate client would buy pieces from Solvang.
16:05I'm not 100% convinced they would buy them from Eleanor.
16:09If it was just purely on sales to the public, where would you go with it?
16:13I think Eleanor has more appeal.
16:15I think she'll sell more.
16:17Cool.
16:18Agreed.
16:19We wanted to go with something that will appeal to all of the people at the event tomorrow.
16:24So, we need to take tonight to sleep on it and figure out how exactly we're going to sell artwork
16:29that isn't totally to brief to the corporate client.
16:34Hey, I'm Tom.
16:35Hi, Tom.
16:36Lovely to meet you.
16:37Solvang, nice to meet you.
16:38At Tom and Jasmine's last meeting…
16:40Wow.
16:41These are different.
16:43…it's straight to the bottom line with sculptor Solvig.
16:47I'd be really interested to see how you price each bit of art.
16:50This is $1,600.
16:52Yeah.
16:53The Home Sweet Home is $1,200.
16:55Great.
16:56The Dark is $800.
16:57Yeah, that's great.
16:59So, we are looking at 35% commission.
17:02Could be doable, yes.
17:04Thank you very much.
17:06Cheers.
17:07Bye-bye.
17:08My personal favourite was the line drawings.
17:10We could easily sell a lot of those, but it doesn't fit that corporate brief at all.
17:15I'd feel more confident in selling the last artist's work.
17:19We know that our corporate client would be really interested in some of those pieces.
17:23Yeah.
17:24And so, we've got an active audience that's ready to shop tomorrow.
17:27Agreed.
17:28Choosing the sculptures does mean that we are putting our eggs all in one basket.
17:33If we can't sell to the corporate client, then yes, it does put me at risk.
17:38It puts my team at risk.
17:39If there's ever a time to go big or go home, now's that time.
17:44Paintings picked.
17:45Sculptures selected.
17:47Tomorrow, showtime.
17:539am.
17:54Obviously, we've got a gallery opening today.
17:57Is this the look you're channelling?
17:59What can I say?
18:00I mean, you just epitomise the art world.
18:01I'm trying to blend art together into an individual.
18:05And you are that individual.
18:06And I am that individual.
18:07I mean, our clients are in for a treat.
18:09So, this is it.
18:10For Sarah-Ann, Camilla and Khadija.
18:12Oh.
18:13First peek at their paintings.
18:14What are your thoughts?
18:15What are your initial thoughts?
18:16I'm trying to work them out.
18:17It might be a bit out there.
18:18Obviously, it's very, very abstract.
18:19Very modern and also very high-end.
18:21Because it's so abstract, I'm worried because you obviously have to look at it and kind of
18:25understand it.
18:26Yeah.
18:27It's going to be a difficult sell for the corporate client.
18:28I think they've maybe lost sight of the brief and they've picked something that they like.
18:29They've gone for a very risky choice on this front and I am a little bit worried to
18:30me.
18:31I'm trying to work them out.
18:32I'm trying to work them out.
18:33I'm trying to work them out.
18:34It might be a bit out there.
18:35Obviously, it's very, very abstract.
18:36Very modern and also very high-end.
18:37Because it's so abstract, I'm worried because you obviously have to look at it and kind
18:42of understand it.
18:43Yeah.
18:44It's going to be a difficult sell for the corporate client.
18:47I think they've maybe lost sight of the brief and they've picked something that
18:51they like.
18:52They've gone for a very risky choice on this front and I am a little bit worried to be
18:56honest.
18:57For the other team.
18:58Very cool.
18:59Oh, I love the owl.
19:01I love this.
19:02Contemporary sculptures.
19:04So this picture, home sweet home.
19:07Our clients will love that.
19:09First decision of the day.
19:11I was actually thinking that we should leave the teams as they are.
19:15Who will run the gift shop and who will sell the art?
19:19Tom and I have met with the artist.
19:21We understand the backstory and I think selling these pieces because they're so unique,
19:26it wouldn't make sense for us to change that at the moment.
19:29Great.
19:30Cool.
19:31Perfect.
19:32So in terms of team split, I think if you guys are happy we'll keep the teams as it is.
19:36You're quite comfortable with the art and you guys are kind of good with the merchandise.
19:40Let's sell as much as we can for as high as we can.
19:42I think we should price below the average.
19:44I think actually if we do well on that, that could make us win the task.
19:47Yeah.
19:48So let's go high.
19:5011.30am.
19:52We could put the kind of slightly leery one into the corner.
19:55Yeah.
19:56And then the other big one on this one.
19:57I mean, I wouldn't say leery but yeah.
19:59Half an hour till selling can start.
20:01I think in terms of the tauts, around £25.
20:04Yeah, definitely.
20:05Tauts, £25.
20:06I'm thinking cushion, £45.
20:08And T-shirts, £25 to £30.
20:11I want to almost place the parrot in the middle there so that there's a natural central eye
20:18line that goes all the way through.
20:20And we're going to do a washing line here so we can put the tea towels up there.
20:25I'll crack on and start doing some printing.
20:28You start setting up.
20:29Why don't we start off a tape bag?
20:31Because we've got all these other products too.
20:33Yeah, sorry.
20:34Can I just finish?
20:35I'm just going to start with this.
20:36You just deal with the bathroom.
20:38We'll do.
20:41Do you want me to do anything here?
20:42No.
20:43No?
20:44No.
20:45You just keep going.
20:46Should we maybe just...
20:47Do you want to just finish off doing what you're doing?
20:49I'll play around with this.
20:51She does what she wants, doesn't she, Sabrina?
20:53I said to her, you start getting the room ready.
20:55I've not seen one product with a price on.
20:57The room is half finished.
20:59She's just not listened to anything I've told her to do.
21:02Midday.
21:03Doors open.
21:04Hello.
21:05Hello, everybody.
21:06I think I always let them work and then hit them up.
21:10Teams have four hours to make money from merchandise
21:13and earn commission from art sales.
21:15It's very different.
21:16It's handmade.
21:17It's very unique.
21:18I think it has a direct relevance.
21:20Attempting to scoop up an early deal on her sculptures, Jasmine.
21:24The presentation value is very high.
21:26They're stunning.
21:27It's an investment in contemporary art at the end of the day.
21:30Okay.
21:31Shall we?
21:32Brilliant.
21:33Amazing.
21:34I'm delighted that one of the ice cream plaques has sold.
21:38It's a relief, if anything else, because I was super nervous whether any of these pieces were shift at all.
21:44It was amazing to be able to make the first sale of the day, so very happy about that.
21:49Hi there.
21:51How are you guys doing?
21:53Trying to match paintings to punters.
21:55So if there's something you've got your eye on, we can put an amber sticker on it and put it as a hold.
22:01From Jackie, a reserved approach.
22:04Do you like it?
22:06Do you like it?
22:07Should we put a reserved sticker on it?
22:09Do you know what?
22:10We've only been open for ten minutes and we've already reserved three paintings.
22:13Really?
22:14I definitely would recommend jumping on it.
22:16Jackie has got a few things on reserve, and that's more to encourage clients to show they're really doing well and hurry up and buy.
22:23But the truth of the matter is, until it's sold, it's not sold, and therefore they've got nothing.
22:28If you want this one, we're more than happy to give it to you, but you have limited time.
22:32I'm not afraid to be rushing.
22:33Don't you worry, take your time.
22:35In Jackie's Gallery gift shop...
22:37What prices are we looking at?
22:39For the t-shirts, £30.
22:42High prices.
22:43Do you think a t-shirt is something you'd like?
22:45Not today.
22:46Low sales.
22:47I'm wondering about the bag.
22:49How much are they?
22:50Tart bags, £25.
22:53I'll go along with it so far.
22:55You wouldn't like £25.
22:56Enlighten me.
22:57What price would you...
22:58But something like that from Waitrose is about £5.
23:01Ah, but place a nice piece of art on your bag.
23:04Obviously, £25 then, it's an absolute bargain.
23:07For something like that, you'd pay about £5.
23:09OK.
23:10All right, really enjoy your day.
23:12Jackie said we need to price the items high.
23:15I feel as though they're a bit too high, that we might be outpricing ourselves from the market.
23:19So I'm essentially losing out on sales for customers.
23:23On the other team...
23:24If there's anything that takes your fancy, we literally can print it while you're way up here.
23:28...manning the merchandise stand alone...
23:30Where the hell's Sabrina?
23:32...Shan.
23:33This is the owl that we're representing.
23:37Uh-huh.
23:38We've got some really beautiful and sturdy tote bags.
23:41They're all organic cotton.
23:42Yeah.
23:43And very machine washable as well, so they're very durable.
23:46Oh, yes.
23:47It's...
23:48Sabrina is very enthusiastic, but sometimes that borders over to unprofessional.
23:53In front of £1,600 pieces of art, she's waving tea towels and bags into people's faces.
23:58Yes, she wants to help make the sale, but actually, she's hindering the art team not helping them.
24:03Sabrina, were you selling a tea towel there, or the owl?
24:07While you were busy, I was showing some merchandise.
24:09If you're there with a tea towel in front of a £1,600 piece of artwork, it's just not the right look.
24:15I agree, Sabrina.
24:16You've been a bit all over the place today, and our roles are in here.
24:20Let's just keep it simple.
24:21If you guys are up here, we're down there.
24:23Perfect.
24:24OK.
24:25Good luck, guys.
24:292pm.
24:30What do you think about the works of art?
24:32Pushing the oil paintings...
24:34It's almost a journey which, for me, just continually moves and kind of tracks through a kind of emotional kind of play, so yeah.
24:41Daniel takes the artistic approach.
24:43I love the contrast in colour between the kind of deeper tones, which kind of dominate the middle almost,
24:47but then he's got the vibrancy of the human characters coming through.
24:50They're very challenging in the sense that they invite you in, they draw, and they cause you to question, you know,
24:54each other and yourself and your own interpretations.
24:57I think mine and Jackie's selling styles differ in the sense that she knows what she's talking about, and I haven't got a fucking clue.
25:03I'm more enchanted by the colours in this one.
25:06And also with the human character, I think it's quite remarkable in that sense.
25:11But the people seem to be loving it, I'm just going to keep rolling with it.
25:14So are we going to go for it?
25:15Yeah, I think it's if, if, if I can get a free bag.
25:18Right.
25:19I need to ask my boss, can we get a free tote bag?
25:22Well, because it's for Daniel. Yes, of course.
25:24There we go. Excellent. Thank you very much. Thank you.
25:28Across town...
25:30I can do two for 30. Yeah? OK, perfect.
25:34As merchandise sales pick up...
25:36There you go, ladies. Thank you so much.
25:38For Tom...
25:40Bit different, I know. I can see you raising your eyebrows.
25:44Sculpture sales at a standstill.
25:47Naturally, you look at this and you think, what is going on?
25:50Why? Where is it? You know, where's it going?
25:53You know, where's it going to end?
25:54And that is a similar theme throughout everything here.
25:58So, ladies, is it something that you may be thinking about purchasing?
26:02Are you not keen? No.
26:04Oh, no.
26:05It's been a bit frustrating working with Tom today.
26:07I just don't think he's really grasped that selling is about being able to schmooze clients.
26:12I don't think Tom's really done very well on that front.
26:15You know, mixing in the sweets with the fact it says it brings in that fun, humorous element.
26:21I do really like it. Yeah.
26:23I don't think I'm going to buy it tonight. No, that's fine. No worries at all.
26:27On the other team...
26:29Take a look at our T-shirts. We've got some T-shirts here.
26:31As modelled by me.
26:32Trying to maximise sales on merchandise.
26:36We can do you a print right in front of you while you wait.
26:39Khadija and Camilla.
26:41The theme is kind of identity.
26:43We've got these two images which we're printing on T-shirts, tote bags.
26:47But we've also got cushion covers.
26:49All of her pieces are sold within Glasgow.
26:51And we're trying to kind of push them as, like, moveable art pieces.
26:54Just like to look at those last couple of pictures and then come back.
26:57If you come directly and see me, my name's Khadija, but just say K.
27:00I don't think Camilla should be jumping in on people's sales.
27:05I went to speak to a customer.
27:07She went straight over and spoke to them.
27:09Camilla's desperation to get some sales in her own name is actually becoming a bit disruptive.
27:13So, should we do this in some kind of order?
27:15Because, obviously, we both went over to talk to them at the same time.
27:17Yeah, no, that's fine. It's just because I made eye contact with them first.
27:19So, it made logical sense to go over to them.
27:23One hour till galleries close.
27:26We've been in there a long time.
27:28Yeah. We haven't made a lot of money.
27:30For project manager Jasmine, a change in strategy.
27:33Please focus on shifting as much of that stock as you can outside.
27:36And you 100% don't want us to stay here so we can welcome the client.
27:41I don't think you will be pivotal to us selling to that corporate client.
27:44I think it's really important that myself and Sian stay here because we've built a stronger pool with the client.
27:51We're confident if they come through the door, we will sell to them.
27:54In the meantime, you guys are going to have to go out.
27:55Sabrina has been a little bit difficult to manage today and Sabrina really needs to work as a team player instead of trying to sell work that she does not understand and doesn't have the knowledge to be able to sell.
28:09Hi Jenny, I'm Jasmine. I know you met with both Sian and Sabrina.
28:13Sian and Sabrina aren't here.
28:15They are. They are.
28:17We actually picked up this particular piece. She's called Tutu.
28:22Why specifically the owl?
28:24Sian and Sabrina mentioned that you've got kind of other sort of, is it wildlife or different types of birds potentially that would be able to fit in quite nicely with that theme so you have this.
28:35Not quite, no. There is a tree.
28:38There is a tree.
28:40I think we should go over. You can put it on me if Jasmine disagrees. I just think it would be really nice to say hello.
28:45Jasmine's just told us she wants us to go out.
28:47What do you want to do?
28:48We're wasting time now. I want us to pack up and go out. That's what Jasmine wanted us to do.
28:51OK.
28:52OK, so what do you see?
28:54Is that gummy bears?
28:55Yes, gummy bears.
28:56Feel free to have a closer look if you like, Jenny.
28:59That is fun.
29:00If you'd lead us to this one first.
29:02First.
29:03Well done.
29:04Should we go and have a chat about it?
29:05Yeah. Let's have a quick chat.
29:06We'll come back to you.
29:07We'll have a walk and a chat.
29:08While corporate clients confer.
29:11Anna, you're back.
29:13Hey, I knew you'd be back.
29:17A returning customer.
29:19I do really like it.
29:20Oh, Anna.
29:21If it's still available, I'd like to find it.
29:22It's available, Anna, and it's yours.
29:25Brilliant.
29:26Do you know what? You've actually come at the perfect time because we've got a client eyeing this up.
29:30So I'm going to be so delighted telling them that this is now sold.
29:37Across Glasgow.
29:38Welcome to the gallery.
29:39I'm Jackie.
29:40Hi, Daniel. Lovely to meet you.
29:41Sounding out the luxury hi-fi company.
29:44So we are featuring Eleanor.
29:46Jackie pushes paintings.
29:48All of her body of art kind of explores identity, anonymity.
29:52How do you feel this piece of art fits in with the ethos of the company?
29:57I kind of actually think art is a reflection of a person.
30:02It's about interpretation and the experience of sound is subjective.
30:07Actually, it's the reverse of that because with precision engineered music systems,
30:11it's about taking the subjectivity away and making it objectively a higher quality listening experience.
30:17That's fair.
30:18If we're imagining that where people sit and listen to our flagship system, I'm a little concerned.
30:25I don't think we will be buying today.
30:27Okay.
30:28The corporate client had a budget of £4,000 to spend.
30:31This was an important piece of business.
30:33They were not impressed at all with the artwork.
30:35It didn't fit in properly.
30:37They didn't buy.
30:395pm.
30:41Hi.
30:42Have you had enough time or do you need a little bit more?
30:44Yeah, we're just going back and forth because we really like boss.
30:47We might have some news fee that will make that decision a little bit easier.
30:51Okay.
30:52Somebody's just bought that.
30:53Oh.
30:55That's disappointing.
30:56Yeah.
30:57They literally just came in and bought it.
30:58Oh.
30:59I'm so sorry.
31:00I feel really bad now.
31:01Our impression was that we had a choice between these things.
31:02Yeah.
31:03I'm really sorry, folks.
31:04Okay.
31:05It's also a shame Shannon and Sabrina aren't here to have met the brief fully and presented
31:10as art consultants to us.
31:11Yeah.
31:12Yeah.
31:13We'll just grab them and just be two tickets.
31:14I think it would be good to hear their perspective.
31:15Yeah.
31:16Absolutely.
31:17Absolutely.
31:18Hey.
31:19So, basically, the people that you met yesterday, they want to get an understanding as to kind
31:24of why you've gone with this choice.
31:26If we just pop over here.
31:27They would be annoyed because we sold them painting whilst they were considering it.
31:30So, that's sold now.
31:31So, it's only the hour that's available to them.
31:33Okay.
31:34So, just be around with that one.
31:35Hello, guys.
31:36How are you doing?
31:37How are you doing?
31:38Nice to see you.
31:39How are you doing?
31:40I'm good.
31:41How are you doing?
31:42Really good, thanks.
31:43We spoke with our guys yesterday and we relayed the idea of the fact that all your pieces
31:47are meaningful and mean something.
31:48It links to the brand.
31:49We really like the idea of the nature linking in with the tree.
31:52It's about growth.
31:53You know, it's something that makes you think.
31:55But it's quite trendy and fitting with the vibe that was already in the office.
31:59I think you have articulated better.
32:02We'll take it.
32:03Amazing.
32:04Fabulous.
32:05Thank you, guys.
32:06Thanks very much.
32:07Cheers.
32:08The corporate clients at first had said they were a bit disappointed that we weren't there,
32:12you know, in discussing the products with them.
32:14Jasmine could have potentially lost that sale, but luckily I managed to close that deal.
32:18Half an hour till galleries close.
32:21I just think here you haven't got the footfall that you're going to get out in the streets.
32:24Yeah, I agree.
32:25You guys want to take all of this amazing merch out into the land of Glasgow.
32:29Sell and bought, sell as much as you can.
32:31One last push for sales.
32:33If you'd like to use two for 40, you can treat very few lovely ladies.
32:37No problem.
32:3929.99 each or I could do you two for 30 pounds.
32:41Yeah?
32:42How about the ice cream and hot dog?
32:44Are you not keen?
32:45No.
32:46Oh, no.
32:47They're very bland.
32:48Go, go, go, go, go, go.
32:49Gift shop.
32:50Gift shop.
32:51Yeah.
32:52What's your best price you can do on these?
32:53Four pounds.
32:54Four pounds.
32:55Three for 18, a nice even number.
32:56Okay.
32:57That's right.
32:58You like that.
32:59I know.
33:00Why don't you grab two?
33:01Let's go for two.
33:02Thank you very much.
33:03So that is 158 pounds then, please.
33:05And that's a total of 150 for all 15 items.
33:08We'd love to sell you the piece today.
33:10Let's say we ring this up.
33:12Okay, sold.
33:13Fabulous.
33:14Thank you so much.
33:16Exhibitions over.
33:18Good end of the day.
33:19Solid.
33:22Everybody has worked so hard.
33:24I'm so proud of everyone.
33:26Let's go back to London.
33:27Let's have a hug.
33:28Let's hug it out.
33:29Let's hug it out.
33:30Ooh.
33:31Today didn't go as well as I thought it would go.
33:33It was a risky move going for this artist.
33:37Hopefully, we've won.
33:39If not, I think that there needs to be a few answers based around that.
33:42We actually sold a 950 pound painting in the last one minute.
33:46Wow.
33:47It was a hard sell.
33:48Bad news is the corporate client didn't make a purchase.
33:50He just didn't feel that the artwork really reflected his three pillars
33:53and what the space was really going to represent.
33:56I am so disappointed with Daniel and Jackie.
34:00They've not managed to get anything from the corporate client.
34:03We had 4,000 pounds almost in the bag.
34:05It was within touching distance.
34:07Ah.
34:08I'm literally in shock.
34:10I can't believe it.
34:11Tonight, commissions counted.
34:14Tomorrow in the boardroom, a critical review.
34:17You can all go through to the boardroom now.
34:28MUSIC PLAYS
34:47Well, this task is all about selling art.
34:52You set up your own gallery.
34:54Yes.
34:55And on top of that, I've laid on a corporate client for you to sell a piece.
34:59Well, hopefully, to sell a piece of art to.
35:02Yes.
35:03Yeah.
35:04So, I think I'll start with collaborative, okay?
35:07Now, Jackie, you jumped in and you said,
35:11I want to be the project manager on this task.
35:14Is that right?
35:15Very much so.
35:16I minored in visual arts.
35:17Minored?
35:18Yeah.
35:19You sold a painting of your own for $20,000 or something, yeah?
35:23Yeah, in Canadian terms.
35:24I assume it was something typically understated,
35:26like a massive statue of yourself.
35:28Yeah, of course.
35:29I would be...
35:30Who wouldn't want that?
35:31Yeah.
35:32Um, so then you two go off and see the artists, right?
35:36Yeah.
35:37Is that right?
35:38Yeah.
35:39Daniel and I have very similar personalities
35:40and we both kind of discussed,
35:41let's definitely stay away from the numbers,
35:43let's get to know the artists, let's get to know the work.
35:45And that came into play when we spoke to Solvang.
35:48We really, really liked her art, but it didn't have mass appeal.
35:52Who do you go to next then, after that?
35:54Then we saw Eleanor.
35:55She's the one you ended up with.
35:57She is, yeah.
35:58Yeah.
35:59I've picked out a piece of art and gave my interpretation of it
36:01and it turns out that's exactly how the artist intended it to be interpreted,
36:04so I think we connected on an artistic level.
36:06Yeah, he's talking a load of Jacks and Pollocks.
36:09Um, so anyway, you go and see your corporate client
36:13and I understand that this fellow start playing you music, yeah?
36:17And I think you, Sarah-Ann, start talking in the middle of it.
36:20I did. I did speak and then what I did is I kind of pulled it back
36:23and asked him whether it was a surround sound system to sort of engage with.
36:26I think the point was you should just be quiet and admire the sound.
36:30Of course it was. The guy loves his prodder
36:33and you're rabbiting on in the middle of his sonata.
36:38So then you get round to finding out what he wants.
36:40The client in there wanted to feel relaxed.
36:42It was quite a neutral palette throughout.
36:44He also mentioned the three pillars as well.
36:47Yeah, he said it was innovation, provenance and experience.
36:51Did you understand those three? We asked.
36:53We asked for the interpretation of that
36:55and they started giving us the definitions.
36:57We were very clear in saying, do you understand?
37:01We were very clear in asking, do you understand the brief?
37:04Camilla then said, would you like me to summarise it back to you?
37:07And they said, no, it's fine, we understand.
37:09I think it could have been slightly more concise.
37:11When you got there on day two, you didn't like the art, did you?
37:15No. I wasn't too keen.
37:16I didn't really like the colours and the abstract nature.
37:19I think we've been quite clear on modern and contemporary.
37:21You don't think they fitted the brief of the client?
37:24I had slight concerns.
37:25For me, I felt like they kind of went for the mass market
37:28instead and it kind of ignored the corporate.
37:30That's absolutely what we did.
37:31And we did do that.
37:32And that was done on purpose.
37:33So we...
37:34OK, so I'm waiting here in anticipation to hear
37:37how well you did with the corporate guy then when he came.
37:40Not well.
37:41Made sales of £80 to him.
37:43Yeah.
37:44He had £4,000, right, and you sold him nothing.
37:47Yeah, relatively, given the circumstances.
37:49You turned up there in a different kind of mode.
37:52You had changed your hairstyle.
37:54I didn't recognise you.
37:55When you were talking about the wonderful brushstrokes,
37:58some people might have been thinking they were talking about your hair.
38:01Potentially.
38:02Yeah.
38:03But I think it went down well.
38:04Yeah.
38:05All right.
38:06Let's move on now.
38:07Jasmine, you love art, is that right?
38:09I appreciate fine art but I was also aware of the business side of this
38:13in terms of generating commission through sales
38:16so I put myself forward for project manager.
38:18Right.
38:19Tom, your sister and father are professional artists, is that right?
38:22Yeah.
38:23My dad does his career and my sister more a hobby but takes place.
38:26So you must have a bit of an insight into it then.
38:28A little bit.
38:29And Sian, you studied art, is that right?
38:32Yeah.
38:33So we've got quite a strong team here, quite an arty team.
38:37And Sabrina, your idea of dealing in art is putting a photo of dinner on Instagram,
38:42is that right?
38:43I have a new, well-enjoyed perspective of art after the task.
38:47So tell me, what did you do?
38:49I decided that Tom and I would be in the art team to go and visit artists.
38:54So your first visit was to whom?
38:58Eleanor.
38:59Eleanor.
39:00Eleanor, yeah.
39:01Me and Jasmine brainstormed on the way to the artist.
39:03And I've got to be honest, Jasmine, the problem that I find when I work with you,
39:07more than anyone that I've worked with, is you'll say one thing
39:11and when we go into a situation, that gets scrapped.
39:15I felt that we had a clear strategy that we would, of the 15 minutes we would spend...
39:19But we didn't.
39:20We would spend five minutes talking about the art and then five minutes on the artist
39:25and then five minutes on the pricing.
39:27That's what we agreed, yeah.
39:28And there were many times where I tried to lead into that.
39:31You asked for 50% commission, didn't you?
39:33I thought it was 50%.
39:35She asked which 50% of the paintings you did.
39:38Yeah, I knew that she'd veer more toward the 40% and then we got 35%, 5% less than that.
39:43Looking at you, I'm looking at Damien Wurst, never mind Damien Hirst.
39:47Anyway, you then spoke to your other team in order to glean from them what the corporate client wanted.
39:54So we said they were looking for something very creative, something out there,
39:57but also a discovery theme within it.
39:59So that led you to choose Solveig then? Yes.
40:02All right, good. Day two, the corporate client came along then, right?
40:06Yeah, we took them straight to the star piece that we, in our minds...
40:10Which was what? The glittery owl.
40:12And I think they liked the piece, but they wanted to feel a little bit more looked after
40:18and as we really cared about the behind.
40:20They basically wanted to see...
40:21They wanted us to be there and to be speaking to them and exploring how we got from their brief to this.
40:26Yeah.
40:27Can I just say, Lord Sugar, that the day two for me has been the hardest day that I've had.
40:31And I'm sorry to say it, Sabrina, but it was really difficult working with you
40:34because you just didn't listen to anything that I told you to do.
40:37If I hadn't have stood up and gone against what you said about leaving the premises, Sharn,
40:41you wouldn't have made that big sale at the end of the day.
40:43At the very beginning...
40:44Sabrina, please don't take credit for the sale that I made at the end of the day.
40:46I'm not taking sale.
40:47You did the same thing.
40:48Well, she's made a very good point.
40:49If you did leave the premises, you wouldn't have been able to make the sale.
40:52I appreciate that part, but it's really difficult to work with someone
40:55who constantly tries to give an opposition.
40:58Yeah, as a project manager, I felt the same.
41:00It was frustrating because I felt as if when a decision was made,
41:04you would come in with an opposing view, not just to myself, but to the general consensus.
41:07Okay, okay, okay.
41:09Home Sweet Home and the owl, yeah?
41:13This is what you were offering the corporate guy initially, okay?
41:16That's right, yes.
41:17He then says to you, okay, let me think about it for a few minutes, yeah?
41:22At which point you sold the Home Sweet Home.
41:25Yeah, it was a genuine blunder.
41:28The last conversation I had with the client,
41:30that they had discounted the idea of having Home Sweet Home.
41:33I genuinely believed that.
41:35Anyway, all right, let's find out how much commission we made.
41:38So, Karen?
41:40So, looking at their commission from the art and from merchandising sales,
41:45Typhoon made a total of £1,325.49.
41:49Right, yeah, okay. Claude?
41:52Well, Collaborative failed to impress the corporate buyer,
41:56but they did incredibly well selling to the public.
41:59So, adding commissions from artwork to their merchandise,
42:02they managed to sell a wonderful total of £3,499.76.
42:07Wow.
42:08Commission.
42:09Commission.
42:10Wow.
42:11Well, very good.
42:12So, you've mastered this task and got it down to a fine art,
42:15but now you need to draw on your own artistic skills.
42:19You're going to be joining the chef, Dom and Iko Krohler,
42:23to create portraits on pizza.
42:26Oh, fun.
42:27Thanks.
42:28Good luck and I'll see you all on the next task.
42:32OK.
42:37Oh, God.
42:39Well done.
42:41I'll get the feeling you saw that coming.
42:43Yeah?
42:44Yeah.
42:45So, go off and talk amongst yourself,
42:48because when you come back here,
42:50I've got to decide which one of you is leaving the process, OK?
42:53Off you go.
42:54Ciao, como esta?
43:08How's this for a pizogenic furlough?
43:10Oh, my goodness.
43:12It's a bit cheesy, isn't it?
43:14I found this task quite frustrating working with Camilla.
43:18She was trying to steal sales.
43:20For me, that's just not professional.
43:22I need nostrils, big nostrils.
43:25Is that for me?
43:27You cheeky little mare.
43:29I think Khadija's playing a very, very dangerous game
43:32and her true colours are on the cusp of being discovered.
43:35I've got a feeling someone's going to get fired.
43:38I think the face shape is there.
43:40But most importantly, the quiz.
43:41The quiz.
43:43I'm definitely the top salesman in this process.
43:45My track record speaks for itself.
43:47I've shown a lot already.
43:48There's definitely more still to come, though.
43:49So, on to the next. Congratulations.
43:51I did feel that, Tom, you and I did really clash.
43:58A lot of people, again, being honest with you,
44:01have a problem working with you through past tasks
44:04because you try and dominate situations.
44:06Yeah, I do dominate because I will go in
44:08and if I see something is failing then I will try to fix it
44:10instead of standing back.
44:11And that was counterproductive for this whole task?
44:12No, it wasn't, Tom.
44:13For me, there's one person that should be fired and that is Jasmine.
44:16I knew that through the way the task was managed and dealt with
44:20that it wasn't really setting us up for a win.
44:23We were in charge of selling merchandise.
44:24Yeah.
44:25Sabrina was too busy in your area.
44:26Yeah, but I'd made up a lot more sales than you did.
44:28But, Sabrina, I did 90% of the printing.
44:30I'm really annoyed with Sabrina.
44:32She never takes ownership of anything she's ever done wrong.
44:35She's very calculated.
44:36She knows what she's doing
44:37and I think she definitely needs to go today.
44:39You didn't listen to me.
44:40You didn't listen to Sian.
44:41It's quite tough working with you and you're not a team player.
44:44I'm not expecting to get a glowing report as a project manager,
44:48but at the end of the day, I am not ready to go home yet
44:51and I'm going to be putting up a fight in that boardroom.
45:02Can you send the candidates in, please?
45:19Well, you've had some time to talk amongst yourself.
45:23You selected art, it seems to me, to be targeted at your corporate client only
45:29and with no thought whatsoever for other customers, right?
45:33So, Lord Sugar, for me that was really based on two factors.
45:36The fact that we knew we had somebody coming to the gallery
45:39with a budget and they were looking for a specific kind of art
45:43was not something that I was willing to just discount
45:45for the local general public,
45:47of which I didn't know what their taste in art would be.
45:50I agree with Jasmine.
45:51And the second reason was that when we had the call
45:54with the sub-team at the end of the day to say,
45:56are you telling me that this client that has a budget of £4,000,
46:00if we were to pick the right pieces,
46:03that they would be willing to spend that budget,
46:05I got an absolute unequivocal yes.
46:07But I was the one who persuaded the team,
46:09from myself and Sian to be there,
46:11to actually speak to the corporate client.
46:13The reason why we got slated in the last task
46:14was because Tom wasn't there for the corporate client.
46:16Yes, he wanted the two people to build the report to leave.
46:19But we did still sell to the corporate client.
46:22Yeah, we did still sell, so that's not what we're discussing.
46:24Sabrina, did you feel that you wanted to get involved
46:26in trying to sell the art also?
46:29Looking back at the...
46:30Because you told me earlier on
46:31that you don't know your art from your elbow.
46:33I feel like if you can sell, you can sell anything.
46:36In terms of the tea towel, it was a mistake
46:37bringing the tea towel onto the main floor.
46:39On day two, I was asking you to make sure the place was finished.
46:42I asked you to put prices on things.
46:44You didn't do either of those.
46:45You were the one who said you were going to put prices on things,
46:47not me.
46:48We had spells where there was nobody around,
46:50so I was cracking on with the printing,
46:51and I have no idea what you were doing.
46:52At that time, I was tidying up and I was making sure
46:54the shop was ready.
46:55It's not like I took a back seat and wasn't doing anything.
46:57That's not my style.
46:58Sabrina, the problem with you is, though,
46:59you always want to take credit for when things go right,
47:01but when things go wrong, it's never your fault.
47:03And I'm more than happy to take credit for when things go wrong.
47:05No, you're not.
47:06But if you feel that the decision isn't correct
47:08and you feel like it's not right, then I spoke up.
47:10You actually put all of this stuff into the box ready to go.
47:13I know, because I listen to what people tell me to do
47:15in certain situations.
47:16I hadn't worked with Sabrina until three tasks ago
47:19and I really struggled.
47:20I also struggled with you working with you, Jasmine.
47:22Everybody struggles with you, Sabrina.
47:24But you're saying that people don't work with Sabrina,
47:27but Jasmine, that's been a reoccurring thing with you.
47:29No, Tom, you're making it personal today.
47:31Can you let me finish this?
47:32No, we're here to discuss what our honest opinion is,
47:35but the thing is you're not a team player when it comes down to it.
47:38You'll say something and it sounds great,
47:40but when you get in a situation and you switch things up
47:42and it frustrates people.
47:43But that's the exact feeling I have about Sabrina.
47:45Okay, Tom had that in-depth knowledge
47:47of the backstory of the art and the artist
47:49and that's why I thought it would be good for him
47:51to stay on the art team.
47:53And I hoped that you would be able to use that
47:55to be able to sell to the public.
47:57Tom had the background from his family
47:59and I felt that he would be better at selling the art
48:01in that sense than me.
48:02But that's got nothing to do with sales,
48:03to do with the fact my family's into art.
48:05But you would...
48:06The reason that you chose...
48:07But you said your dad sells it at exhibitions,
48:09you have experience with exhibitions.
48:10Which has nothing to do with me...
48:11No, no, I didn't.
48:12Yeah, but I've never been to an exhibition before.
48:13And the reason that Jasmine chose me
48:14is because on past tasks,
48:16no matter what we've been selling,
48:17I've sold it well.
48:18You didn't sell it well in this one.
48:19Sorry, Tom, the reason I chose you...
48:21No, I didn't.
48:22Because I was with Jasmine and that was my problem
48:23from the beginning.
48:24I mean, the only thing you drew on this thing was a blank.
48:27I mean, you didn't sell anything, right?
48:29You were a work of art yourself.
48:31Unfortunately, it was still life.
48:34Anyway, Jasmine, pick two people
48:37you're bringing back into this boardroom.
48:39I think, Lord Sugar,
48:40that I stand by the product that we chose.
48:43Just give me an answer.
48:44Tom and Sabrina.
48:46All right.
48:47Sian, go back to the house.
48:54OK, you three people, go outside.
49:00I'm going to talk to Karen and Claude
49:03and we're going to decide who's going to be staying
49:06in this process, OK?
49:08Off you go.
49:17What is it about Sabrina?
49:19What is it?
49:20I mean, why does she wind everybody up?
49:21I think she's very enthusiastic, but sometimes
49:24that just boils over into annoying.
49:27I think she's quite immature in her approach
49:29so that she thinks that she wants to do everything
49:31and that's going to help her to win the task
49:33and working as a team is not something that's come easy to her.
49:36And what is it about Jasmine then?
49:38There's that thing called entrepreneurial spirit.
49:40Us three have it.
49:41We know what it is.
49:42It's about working a business,
49:44finding opportunity, adapting.
49:46She is very corporate
49:48and that doesn't always suit itself to every task.
49:50And Tom is lucky still to be here, I think.
49:53I don't know whether he's passed a sell-by date or not, really.
49:56It's not that he's not intelligent
49:58or perhaps hasn't got a good business brain,
50:00but I just feel in this process,
50:02he hasn't really made the most of it.
50:03In this particular task,
50:04he did have the opportunity, after all.
50:06His father is an artist.
50:07His sister does art.
50:08He would have thought he would have brought more to the party
50:10than it would appear that he has.
50:16Could you send the three of them in, please?
50:29I believe that all of you
50:32have been in this position three times, is that right?
50:35Correct.
50:36That's right, Lord Sugar.
50:37Yeah.
50:38Doesn't say much, does it?
50:40Jasmine, when I look at your CV,
50:44you say your best business skills
50:46is to simplify the complex.
50:50Mm-hm.
50:51What do you mean by simplify the complex?
50:53I work in training and development, Lord Sugar,
50:56for corporate businesses
50:57and it could be systems training, et cetera,
50:59and it's really about being able to, on a high level,
51:02communicate what the overall message is
51:04and then go into the detail when people need that fully.
51:07Very corporate.
51:08Very corporate.
51:09Your demeanour suited for working in a large company
51:12like you do, actually, yeah.
51:14And the one that I would like to set up with you, Lord Sugar.
51:18Yeah.
51:19Um, Sabrina, you say here that you're struggling
51:22when you're not in control, often takes on too much,
51:25as well as not being able to delegate.
51:28I do love doing stuff.
51:29I can't sit still for one minute
51:31and I'm constantly trying new things
51:32and trying to do different things.
51:34Being young and enthusiastic is great,
51:36but boiling over is difficult.
51:39You mentioned me being young, yes,
51:41but I've been doing what I've been doing for seven years
51:43and actually leading.
51:44Seven years?
51:45I've been running events.
51:46You have a national insurance number at 15.
51:48I doubt it.
51:49Tom?
51:50Yes?
51:51Last week I decided that I'll let you stay in
51:54because, you know, you are a businessman,
51:56you've got a business,
51:57and then this week no sales at all.
51:59What have you got to say about that?
52:01Yeah, I think that, you know, this process
52:03is an opportunity for me to show you
52:05all the skills that I have learnt
52:07and that I can do stuff in a short time
52:09and learn new things.
52:10But you're not proving anything to me, Tom.
52:12You were that close to going last week
52:14and, you know, look what you've done this week.
52:16Nothing.
52:17But ultimately, I have not performed well
52:19on some tasks and I have on others
52:21and, you know, I'm not going to lie to you,
52:23I'm accepting that.
52:24I mean, to quote Andy Warhol,
52:27he said everybody gets 15 minutes of glory.
52:30I think you're on your 14th minute.
52:33I'm someone that people can work with
52:34and everyone has worked with well in this process
52:36and Jasmine, unfortunately, isn't that.
52:39Lord Sugar, I have come into this process
52:41and consistently tried to prove to you
52:43that I will step up when others don't want to.
52:45I'm not somebody who's failed to win a task
52:47in my area of specialism
52:49that I'm claiming to start a business with you with,
52:51which is not what I can say for either Sabrina or Tom.
52:54They both failed in the tasks that were tailor-made for them.
52:57Not at all, Jasmine, actually.
52:58With the sports event with you, body power,
53:00and the gardening task.
53:01I'm in tennis events and sports is completely different.
53:04Also, you've lost twice as project manager
53:06and your business plan is about training
53:08and you clearly can't cope with handling a team.
53:10My business plan, Lord Sugar, is about consumer technology
53:14and it's about creating an app, which I hope will become...
53:17This is you, you can't get a word in. This is you.
53:19No, it is and it's frustrating and the thing is...
53:21I'm just answering a question.
53:22A business is about bringing people together
53:24and working as a unit in a process, OK?
53:26That's not what you've done.
53:28A business is also about making money, Tom,
53:29which isn't what you've done.
53:30Yeah, and it is what I've done.
53:31Unlike you, I've created my business already
53:33and I've proven that I can do that.
53:35OK.
53:36Tom, yes, you've got a business,
53:37but what I can't ignore is that you keep losing.
53:40Ultimately, this process for me isn't a learning curve
53:43and I'm not here to take your money
53:45and see if an idea in my head works out.
53:47I've already done that.
53:48I sold my house so that I could use every penny
53:50to make my business work.
53:52I've created a company that my family can live off already
53:55and that isn't enough for me.
53:56I'm obsessed with whatever I'm doing.
53:58I'm hungry for success
54:00and that's why I'm here to prove to you.
54:02I've won three in a row and I've lost the past two.
54:05The three that I did...
54:06Anyway, I'm going to summarise now,
54:08so I don't want any interruptions.
54:10Jasmine, I think you're very corporate
54:13in the way you speak, in the way you operate.
54:16You claim to advise people
54:19how to conduct themselves in business.
54:21and I think you should look at some of your own advice
54:24from time to time.
54:25Sabrina, people find you difficult to work with
54:29and I can't have a business partner
54:32that doesn't work with anybody
54:34and listen to anybody.
54:35Big risk for me, yeah?
54:37And Tom, losing again.
54:39Losing again, no sales.
54:42You know...
54:45I've got to make a decision today.
54:48Um...
54:52Tom, I think, you know, you...
54:56Because you've lost on the last two occasions,
55:00you know, I have to say that it is...
55:04It's given me a lot of concern.
55:08Jasmine, um...
55:13Bad choice of product, if you ask me.
55:18You say all's fair in love and war
55:20and business is a war.
55:22Well...
55:24You've lost this war.
55:27You're fired.
55:29Thank you, Lord sugar.
55:47Tom...
55:50You have saved yourselves one more time.
55:53One more time.
55:54I know I might be nuts.
55:55No, I'll prove to you...
55:56No, no, no.
55:57Just be quiet at the moment.
55:58I know I might be nuts, but I'm telling you right now,
56:01this is the last chance for you now.
56:03The absolute last chance.
56:06Do you understand me?
56:07Totally understand.
56:08You piped up just at the right time, to be honest, right?
56:11Because you were that close to going out that door there.
56:15Young lady, go back to the house.
56:17You go back to the house, you go back to the house also, okay?
56:29Sorry.
56:30Nice.
56:31I'm sure it's genuine.
56:33Good luck, Tom.
56:47It has been the most incredible experience.
56:54Lord sugar will continue to be my business hero,
56:59and I will really regret not having that opportunity to work with him.
57:07I'd say that's probably one of the worst ones that I've been in.
57:10It looks bad going in.
57:11Yeah.
57:12So, I do worry for Tom,
57:13and he's coming off the back of a loss last week as well,
57:15so I do think he's on Lord Sugar's radar.
57:20You guys, you guys.
57:21Oh!
57:30Come here.
57:32That was the worst one I've been in.
57:34That was absolutely brutal.
57:36Like, literally, I do not want to be in that situation again.
57:39To be honest, I always thought you were going to come back,
57:42but a bit of me was looking forward to being the only man in the house
57:44with all these girls.
57:49Now, eight candidates remain.
57:53Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner continues.
58:00Next time...
58:01I've arranged for you to sell live on one of the leading shopping channels tonight.
58:07Oh, shit.
58:08Your mic is live.
58:10Lights.
58:11Look how white my teeth are.
58:12Look how white my teeth are.
58:14Smile, Daniel. Keep smiling.
58:16Camera.
58:17This is self-inflating.
58:19It's not self-inflating.
58:20This is the product that's going to revolutionise the future.
58:23And in the boardroom...
58:24You had all the charm of a debt collector.
58:27Action.
58:29You're fired.
