Having been in sales in many previous companies I am so looking forward to this show.
The previews look great!
About time ITV had something which to take on the brilliant Apprentice!
Great first show.
There were winners and losers!
First the winners:
Dan - came across as genuine and a sound guy - he won too!
Ideal Home Furniture Store - didn't like a hard sell approach for it's customers
Losers:
Nick - he got booted off
Scott - loud mouth, full of himself although he can sell
Thea - sex sex sex - enough said!

As the ‘Godfather of British Salesmanship’ it is my duty to comment on this new so called reality show Natural Born Sellers (ITV 1, 9pm Thursday 02 October 2008). The programme makers very sadly are clearly out of date with modern day salesmanship and I am really surprised that Mr Cauldwell, who built such a successful business, should be associated with such old-fashioned sales practice.
So, my thoughts are based on the good, the bad and the ugly.
The good was the comment made by the store manager that he would not employ any of these sales people. The only other good point was that the winner did show some semblance of integrity.
The bad – modern day professional selling is built upon having sound product knowledge, this little band of jumped up, self-opinionated, brash, pushy so called sales people don’t understand that the modern day professional seller can only sell what they believe in, and modern day selling is really all about repeat business where the customer, thank goodness, is protected and allowed to change their mind. The telesales manager actually believing he could go out and sell in a completely different environment just demonstrates what any experienced business person knows – telesales is completely different from face to face selling.
The ugly was the sales person out in the car park trying to get members of the public to go into the store, in other words attempting to get people to buy things that they don’t really want or need.
All in all I would employ the winner of last night’s programme, but the rest ought to stick to their product where apparently they have had some modicum of success. Let’s hope the next programme doesn’t encourage these outdated sales practices that have no relevance in the modern business world.
i cant stand thea, she two face bitch as she love her self. in fact she not pretty, she should grow up as she act like a child. last week see her laughing like a witch how stuipd she is
I auditioned for this show and got through to the last 22, I am so glad nothing came of it, I met Thea who I thought at the time that she was a plant or barking mad.
On the limosuine episode, does any one know the ticket sales. Did Gavin and Scott have the lowest or was it down that phone blokes discretion.
Thea smells like padh
I too was in the last 22 of the final auditions and can assure you that Thea looks like a triple padh
What does padh mean?
who won cant find the site missed last night's episode ;-(
I was addicted to this programme from start to finish, but disgusted by the likes of Thea, she has put all women sales professionals back 30 odd years, and I don't understand how she can work in IT Sales with that attitude.
I pride myself on knowing my product and being a professional and I totally
agree with Richard Denny.
By the way, I am currently unemployed,
an overachiever from sheer hardwork who
has supporting documents and full checkable references, any jobs going?
