This week’s edition of Success Profiles Radio is our first ever MASHUP episode and the theme is Shark Tank.
In the last 14+ years of doing the show, I have interviewed many people who have had something to do with Shark Tank, and so we’ve woven some clips from several previous episodes to answer the types of questions people might have about getting on the show, pitching your product, and getting a deal.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Kevin Harrington: What makes a great pitch, mistakes people make in their pitches, and red flags that cause an investor to not work with you.
Brandon T. Adams: How to know if your product idea is any good, and what his Shark Tank audition was like.
Zach Shreier: Getting a shark’s attention, what surprised him the most about his Shark Tank experience, the pitch process, and post-show due diligence.
Johnny Georges: How he got on Shark Tank, what surprised him the most about his Shark Tank experience, and the importance of great mentors.
Steve Sashon: Why he auditioned for Shark Tank, what his business was like before and after Shark Tank, properly valuing your company, and why he turned down a deal.
Woody Woodward: How his DRIVE sales process can be applied to Shark Tank and how you can pitch each of the five sharks by using that system.
