African art is nice but going retail is a bad idea. She would need a lot of weavers if she wants to scale. I don't see how she can scale. But the product is nice and should be in boutique stores.

Those baskets are so pretty. A lot of varierty.

The baskets are so colorful and I like the idea that she's providing an income for her people back home. However, there are a few things I find wrong with her business, having 1.6 million in sales and only netting 75,000 dollars is ridiculous, customer acquisition is too high, plus spending $400,000 in one year on advertising is way too high. She needs to cut costs somewhere, or else her business will sink.

I don't think she knows how to market that's where her problem is. Not sure how these sharks missed that bit. The sharks could have asked her what the conversion rates of the traffics are, and find out where the leakage is. A good sales copy could make a drastic difference between conversion, therefore bringing her customer aquisition costs way down.

+100 CAC that’s INSANE. It doesn’t matter if you sell 3 million or 10 million if you are not doing any profit. She was fighting over wages when the real problem was the intensive expenditure on marketing

Never give up! Turn those NO’s into Yeses later! You got this!

Another good pitch passed by..

$500K for baskets? This lady’s valuation and numbers are from fantasy-land. The business is worth nothing at this point. Plus, she is not being straight forward and honest about the health of the business. I understand that it’s just a tv show, but it’s an insult to the Sharks’ intelligence to trot this lady out there.

She wasn’t making money while training lots of people in skills that might not be valuable unless her business survives. A three tier approach would have worked and turned profitable. Master weaver, apprentice and about 10 people on piece rates while waiting for their turn to apprentice. She started with nothing so was careless when she got it.
