Shark Tank Fails
I’ve been a fan of the reality television
show Shark Tank for
quite a while.
As I watch entrepreneurs make a pitch to
the panel of millionaires, trying to gain financial and personal support for an
exchange of equity percentage, I am amazed by the fact that very few presenters
have done their “homework” by doing a needs analysis to learn the interests,
the background, the families, the education, and the many successes and
failures on the sharks’ paths to success – and wealth.
The Internet makes it rather easy to create
a dossier, much as I did when I was selling mortgages in Chicago. This
important step led to greater success with building relationships and increased
sales. So I’m not sure why more folks do not embrace this critical research
process.
I’m sure it can help the entrepreneurs with
their pitches, as they can make personal connections with something in a shark’s
life, providing an extra value in relating with the sharks for the purpose of
providing the financial guidance and investment urgently, sometimes
desperately, being sought.
What’s stopping them?
