This is probably one of the most intelligent business owners to go on the show in terms of counter offering

[@mz2728]

Helps to have gone to business school and having experience as a consultant. They are experts on the numbers of a business. Sharks often make bids for 2-3x the asked valuation, but this time I think it was quite fair, and the Sharks got greedy. Kevin and Lori's offers were, like he said, nuts! 20 or15 cents royalty on a product that costs $1.27 is crazy, especially when they make roughly 20 cents in profit. Even if he scaled like expected and cut his production cost by about 20 cent, that royalty deal would seriously impact the cash flow unless he 1.5-2x his prices. His pitch was phenomenal, and his presentation technique was terrific with the visualization of the process, the business had great sales, he knew his margins would double when he grew, the company secured a deal at 7-1, keto and "no filler ingredients" are trends on the rise. Think the sharks let a huge opportunity slip here.

On top of all of that he is an extremely personable and likeable guy which makes the product even more palatable, believe it or not people don't realize the power of a strong and likeable personality/character to enhance the product that you are presenting. If there is something that I have learned on this show it is that half of the sale is selling yourself. Any business person calculates the individual's personality they will be dealing with, and what context the product was formed in and how everything is taken care of. Case and point: Mark Cuban was out in the beginning, but then you heard him say towards the end "I like David, I really like David..." and then Mr. Cuban came back in on the deal... Why? Because David sold himself which gave more value to the product.

He mentioned that the cost would drop to 75 cents as they grow, which would increase their profit by 60% per bar. I think $500k for 15% was unreasonable, as it would value the company at $3.3m.

It is better to invest now. You will never be younger than you are today and there will never be a perfect time to invest. Due to compounding, which Einstein called the 8th wonder of the world, you can get rich slowly from investing if you do it from a young enough age.

Trading with Josef Dennis signals completely altered my perspective on bitcoin because, despite everyone's complaints and fears, I was able to expand my portfolio from 6 BTC to 10.2 BTC in just 7 weeks with active trading…

[@lucyameliaflynn4768]

I never had the opportunity to benefit until i meet Josef Dennis. that's when I started earning real good at first I invested 3BTC and earned 10.5BTC in just 1months of trading

[@mikemarcus7630]

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.

[@david_massa]

I love when the sharks are actually customers of these moderately obscure products.

[@litigioussociety4249]

This is a rare time where I think the person pitching may have been smart to walk away. The business was already booming, and while I shark might have been able to help him skip ahead a year or so in growth, I think the equity or royalty cost would have cancelled it out.

[@xavim755]

Wow I'm shocked at how smart this guy is. He is the epitome of a great business man.

[@stevejones5075]

He'll be fine. Shark Tank will boost his sales for sure, they have a great product

[@FancyHat44]

I love when the companies are headed by business people who can go toe to toe with the sharks. Most of the time the sharks just dominate the negotiations but this guy was in the position of power the whole time.

[@burndead]

Hands down one of the best or even the best negotiations on the show.

[@alannashea6344]

He is smart! He is kind! I hope he gets everything he wants in life he deserves it! I’m going to buy his products now!

[@sampdickles5095]

Lori, backing out after she realized that she's getting declined 😂😂😂

[@RalphVB]

I like this entrepreneur, he has the balls to stand up for himself and say what needs to be said, good on him. The only thing I would say is that he is coming to their table for help, and he offers them a chance at doubling their money. No investor would go on a boat with him like that. It's just not enough. The 15% From Mark was definitely a fair deal. He probably would have come down a little if pushed but 15% is fair, the guy is too emotional about his business but is forgetting he is asking for half a million. A blooming business that has been established a decade ago is worth the calculated value with those sales, but a company that only just begun has no stability and is therefore a huge risk. Any investor knows this.

[@josephcheng5949]

10% equity + 5% advisory shares

[@parthkoul7932]

Except, the company is already making high returns, with space to increase margins. Mark would be taking 15% of something that is already mostly built and just needs funding to expand

[@CHANGINGTHEDUWA]

15% isnt reasonable that's why Mark said "fair enough" when the guy rejected his offer

[@samwelmeja7683]

15% for such an established company isn't a fair deal.

[@pedro3131]

I mean what exactly does he need when he's already over 3.5M in sales, about to triple his distribution network (with the 711 deal he mentioned) and already has all the connections and networks he needs from his family? The only thing the sharks could bring to the table is product awareness and free marketing from being on the show, which is why he didn't take the deal.

[@B_Bodziak]

I make these at home and they are delicious. I've not seen these on my driver's shelves but I'll be looking for them. Compared to how much it cost me to make them, I personally think his retail price is too low.

[@Lusol123]

he can do it a lot cheaper because of scale though

[@claudeyaz]

Half the people online say they are too espensive.. globalism has really stuffed us on filers and cheap products. Hell many people didnt like the taste..we have been raised on the taste of processed fake cheese...so people dont even feel familiar with real Wisconsin cheese. Crazy stuff

[@xlncy]

That's why he didn't accept that deal. Low price is his USP. He didn't want to ruin it with sharks

[@DrakeOola]

@@claudeyaz Are you really complaining that people don't like the taste of caviar, filet mignon, and lobster? Shame people don't like expensive foods... 💀

[@Hotobu]

He could've held onto more equity with Mark if he gave him a small royalty. He could've said 7.5% with a nickel royalty until Mark recouped half of his investment.

He didnt need a deal !!!! He came in for the shark tank exposure !!!! We all know that we never seen his products anywhere lol now we know and that was his goal

I can’t believe you say that with such confidence and boldness as if you can open his chest and look into his heart to see what his intentions are

[@andrewmckenley5355]

Agree with you

[@Tok_Models]

@@TheAbuFulaan 90% of people with shitty pipedream failing businesses that think they are worth gold are even very defensive about giving up large percentages. This guy's business is already huge and his family is rich, for sure he was comfortable with only getting exposure and was likely part of the plan.

[@TheAbuFulaan]

@@Tok_Models Or maybe he genuinely came to get a deal done but was not prepared to devalue his company? We should just stop with the assumptions. We don’t need to play judge and jury for matters we have nothing to do with
