This idea is getting popular now a days, as I am browsing through the internet I found this website http://www.SharkTankTVShow.com that provide financial assistance and expert’s advice to small entrepreneurs, which is great for the economy. I hope more marketing experts exert efforts like this to help people with great ideas.

Ed,

A bulk email sending service is usually the same as an autoresponder. Strictly speaking they are slightly different functions – an autoresponder replies automatically when someone fills in a form or requests information, whereas a bulk email service will send the same message to lots of recipients. Unfortunately that type of service is sometimes used to send spam (unsolicited email), but most business owners use it to legitimately to keep in contact with their customers who agreed to receive further information.

Regards

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I learned alot from your show and hope to tune in as often as possible. Keep up the great work. How can I build up confident to have my own webTV show?

Wow, this little show has a lot of great little tips packed into it. I enjoyed the first part with the misspellings, they reminded me of a segment David Letterman does on his show. They were hilarious. I had no idea that Shark Tank was based off of another show, I’ll have to check out Dragon’s Den sometime, I think what little I’ve seen of Shark Tank is pretty clever. I definitely agree with the last part about giving people 2 reasons to complete an offer, just check out the freebie blogs available on the internet, there are many examples of this kind of marketing working very well on them. Great little show, I’ll have to remember this website again!

This is a very useful website, most especially for the entrepreneurs who doesn’t have any background with business management. I really loved the introduction of the show. Plus the video is very informative not just for the people starting small business, but people already having any business can learn a lot from the videos here.

Hi Andrew! You’re so cute and I love your show. I’ve seen Dragon’s Den on BBCAmerica. I always liked it. Haven’t heard of Shark Tank yet but I’ll be sure to check it out. I liked the advice you gave to that lady who wrote in about responding to her clients. That will help me a lot too.

I am very excited to watch this the show. i am not miss an single episode ,BBC America should pick it up for the everyone. my thought is don’t change a thing. You have a winning formula. The small thing you might consider to do is add a guest commentator.

About making calls to inbound prospects, it depends on the sort of business being run, and the type of clients getting called. Try to think about the prospect. Who are they? How much time do they have? Calls in the late afternoon are probably going to be less effective for someone in an office thinking about getting home. However if you are confirming for an appointment the next day, the evening might be the best time to call, since it will be fresh on the prospect’s mind when they leave for the day.

The show was very quick moving, and interesting. I’ve been thinking about starting my own business for awhile now, as my Dad currently owns his own business, and he loves the freedom.

Yeah, I first watched “Dragon’s Den” on a plane, and just the style of the show was new to me, and I loved it (for the duration of the plane trip )

However, i found that the criticism of signs in other nations as quite offensive, as they are only providing a help to foreign tourists, which I seem to find a lack of in the USA

A fun show that actually teaches a lot of good business practices. I especially liked the practical business tips and the information about Mail Chimp. I have not seen Dragons Den or Shark Tank but will definitely check it out to see if they are available locally.

Keep up the good work Andrew.

I have not heard of either Dragon’s Den or Sharks’ Tank. When reading the comments someone said I could go to abc.com and watch them all. I will try to watch them, it sounds interesting. I like all the funny clips and love the helpfull web sites. Short and compact help for someone like me trying to start up a small business. Thanks!
