If she really wanted to structure the last 5% as advisory shares she should've asked Robert if he'd be fine with that during the due diligence process, not on-screen when he just went back in because he believed in her that much. Yes, Robert tends to get sensitive about these things but her timing and approach was way off.

It's so hypocritical. The sharks ALWAYS say you should at least make a counter offer as an entrepreneur - and hers was not unreasonable at all.

She not only didn’t “read the room”, she didn’t listen. Robert said, he didn’t want to negotiate but she continued to counter his offer, not once but twice!🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

she dropped her valuation from previous fundraising from 6M to 3M.... she was ok with taking a 50% haircut but not going even lower... her valuation was fair and she's better off without Robert who admitted he offers no value to the business. She got her commercial and she's brilliant so it'll work out. The biggest thing she didn't read the room on was Mark saying "there's too many calories" her counter to that was nobody can scale a business like I can... what she should've said was "this isn't supposed to replace a healthy food--this is supposed to be a dessert replacement that tastes really good and is made from good for you and nutritious ingredients. That would've gotten him back into the ring.

There’s a point of negotiating that you must realize its time to stop. If you can’t see it and just keep pushing anyway, you’re gonna lose the deal just like the girl here. The key is to read the room and recognize that point of negotiation.

Actually, it may not be that bad for her to miss out on Robert’s deal. If Robert cannot add any expertise or guidance to this business at all (he basically said that), then why should she reduce her valuation for him (keeping in mind that the $3M valuation she offered to the sharks was already 50% discounted off the $6M valuation she got when she raised funds last time). If her business doesn’t have a cash flow problem at the moment and continues to do well, I’m sure she can raise another $500K fairly easily at a favorable valuation to her.

Sometimes appearing intelligent and successful can cause you to lose out on help because people might assume you don't need it. A lot of stuff gets edited out but from what we saw it was indeed a really simple counter. It wasn't too insulting TBH IMO. I think Robert just offered out of FOMO or sympathy because she didn't get any offer especially from Mark but he then later realised that he didn't "really" want to invest so he found an excuse to go out again, kinda like how Barbara does.

There were 2 counters made back to back with no other Sharks involved, I’ve never seen that on Shark Tank Don’t really think it was an excuse, man literally hit the reset button, and it was very clear, 15%, take it or leave it

She's gonna be successful without them, she did good advertising it.

The reason you want a shark onboard is because you either can't get a good VC through the door or the shark adds more value than the VC in terms of opening avenues for the business to grow. The minute he said it's a pure financial investment, she should've said no. Already raised at a 6 Mil valuation, why agree to even a 3 Mil valuation with no strategy input? Stupid that she even tried to accept it in the end if you ask me.

while 3Mil and 6Mil is different, remember you bring the person that can give you to the next level, imagine you have business in shoes that worth 6M, and Michael Jordan want to invest you with value 3M, will you take it? as for me i will take it since it bring a lot of money for giving 15%. That's why there a lot of Celebrity or Pro Athlete become Ambassador to someone product and Robert can make business go high with his connection.

Why would you ding a businessperson for nothing more than ATTEMPTING to negotiate? If she's already raised at a $6MM valuation, of course she's going to balk at a $3MM valuation, Shark or not--and Robert finds that "insulting"? Really?

I think that she slipped when she said the Kevin is not the targeted customer....she could have put it in a better way and just told that there is a market out there for people who do like products that taste better compared to healthy products that always isn't the best treat out there.....

Oof, that was a bit harsh, but I get it. He had already said it it was almost insulting. However the "% of advisory shares" deal was pretty commonly accepted in the past, so it was a decent (first) counter.

And he was so disingenuous and scheming too. He was the first one out. When he went back in he made such a big deal about him going in for her then he devalues her company by not accepting her 10% offer? Then he guilts her into not counter offering her again because of the theatrics he pulled when he came back in. Now the public is watching a condensed 1 hour back and forth where sure - she said to Kevin "ur not my target market" and she said to Mark the Vegan "we dont care about calories" - she cant read the room! fine! But in the end ROBERT was not acting right. She raised on 6M cap and came in giving the sharks a 3M cap thats a 50% discount! She told them she sees the value they bring so why did Robert ask for more and then the hypocrisy to not allow her to counter!!

All the other sharks were out, so there was no room for negotiation, Robert even said that. If she didn’t like it, she could decline, she didn’t

He was a half hearted investor anyways. Said he was out. The came in with some BS. And then went out again after she countered. The best thing that ever happened to her was not doing a deal with him. Lol

I feel like a lot was cut from this episode that would've added some context. Clearly somethings she did that were not shown led to Mark's "read the room" comment and Robert withdrawing his offer -it's not as if this is the first time someone has tried to counter the only shark deal they got.

8:44 you know things turned so south when they added in that trombone que

He gave her a chance. The only offer that was there. She tried to squeeze a little more out of it. He told her how he felt about it. Gave her another chance to correct her mistake. She disrespected him again. And when she realised it was slipping out of her hands she tried to back track and take the offer. Thats a good skill to have but terrible when you use it everywhere.

Power dynamics at its finest

I feel like being really intelligent and smoking hot almost worked against her. It's not a fair world. Stories and looks sell. Somehow she got a lot of "ahh you'll be fine. I'm out." And ultimately she got very little sympathy for a simple counter offer. Where some other contestants would have been treated better. They all assumed (probably correctly) she will land on her feet. It's an interesting dynamic.

Spot on Fred. Sometimes appearing intelligent and successful can cause you to lose out on help because people might assume you don't need it. A lot of stuff gets edited out but from what we saw it was indeed a really simple counter. I think Robert just offered out of FOMO or sympathy because she didn't get any offer especially from Mark but he then later realised that he didn't "really" want to invest so he found an excuse to go out again, kinda like how Barbara does.

You always negotiate though. Rob was just a dick. He was giving her 300k for 15% and made it clear that he wouldn’t help her in product decisions. But she had enough information from the sharks to know where to head towards next - if she can focus on getting the calories down (and making it a health food), her sales would boom even more. That’s what the sharks were getting at - they would have backed her IF this was a health product because health food sells. Her product was just carbs and fat with some health supplements sprinkled.

This was a VERY SIMILAR segment compared to the Monti Kids pitch. Even the founders eyes, smile, lesson learned, and robert being the one to deliver it.

That was a pretty crappy move on Robert's part. This is Shark Tank. Presenters are suppose to try their best to counter offers. She may not have known right there and then but Robert did her a favor by backing off his offer. You go Sabeena!

I think she did what was best for herself. Robert was exactly right: “You don’t need me as much as I wanted to help you.” Yes she could have maybe read the room better but her personality and vibe is exactly right for her target investors. Sucks she didn’t get a shark but she’s gonna be fine.

Exactly. Exactly

I think the point Kevin was trying to make was she didn’t really target the investors. Which is who she was presenting to at that moment. It’s not about them eating the product it’s about them investing in it. She got an offer but still didn’t know how to talk to the investors. She’s got target customers down which is why her sales are so good. Just not how to sell to investors to gain support. Mark tried to help by telling her to read the room. Know who you’re talking to.

Marks is so good in what he says

“Every other person like you I would be insulted by a counter like that” is a way of saying - I’m insulted by your counter, but very nicely!

"alright i take it" dayum shiett that was sooo fken embarrassing HAHAHAHAHA

damn I had second hand embarrestment when she said '' ill do it! '' and robert said no lol
