Over 40k apply, only 120 make the cut...

"While everyone was waiting in line perfecting their pitches, I was walking through the crowd stealing their credit & debit card numbers..."

This is the first thing I said after waiting 12hrs in line to a tired Shark Tank producer that had heard hundreds of pitches before me. I had 60 seconds to make an impression.

Now, I can say that I'm one of the only people on the planet that can say they've been on 3 separate episodes of Shark Tank.

It's just like social media and marketing - focus on the hook.

Producers don't care about your sales - they care about your story. Focus on that if you want to increase you chances of getting on the show. There's a million companies making money but you're the only one with your story.

If need help or you're thinking about applying, shoot me a DM.

Speaking only of the Original 6:  choose any Shark or Sharks and their signature phrase, compliment or insult – they say over and over and over again – which you find annoying.

Would I get on shark tank?

I have a business that generates about 1 million dollars a year in revenue and about 500,000 dollars in profit a year. What else do they need besides proof of concept for me to actually get on there?

Mark Cuban should’ve just given the Just Go Natural business owners $5 million and called it a day instead of that bs sharky deal or should I say ripoff.

Round of applause for this guy who spent the sharks money on vacation trips around the world

Context: this guy used the sharks’ investment to go on “business” vacation trips around to world and partied. The company went to zero.

After watching the sharks manipulate and threaten honest, small businesses for 1-3% more of their business, it’s nice to hear a story where the entrepreneur took advantage of the sharks instead. This guy probably had the time of his life traveling around the world on Mark, Lori, and Kevin’s dime.

Robert should be the one with the "I'm Out" memes

Been watching old reruns in the background for the last couple days and I'm not sure I ever caught him making a single deal lol

Don’t let all of the sharks convince you they are nice as they seem on TV.

All of these sharks look and smile for the cameras for the most part. Don’t make the mistake that they are as nice as when you are working for them.

It is ultimately a great show, but do not ever forget these business people are investing a lot of their money to make more money than being nice and kindness doesn’t usually work in the real world to get to where you are.

This Guy?! Epic!

Mark Sullivan with the Sullivan Generator – classic ST pitch!  He started going on and on about “coriolis effect”, “precipitates”, “and gold . . . G O L D”. 

Love this pitch!  The Sharks were looking at him like who is this guy – Kevin even asked how long he was visiting earth.  They all lost it when he said he writes music, sews women clothing and handbags.  This guy was something else!

Why be on shark tank?

Do some people just get on for the exposure, after watching reruns... I ran into Zomm. I understand he said he needed the money but even if he doesn't get a deal, I can see many people wanting this product after he walks off regarldess.
