high-tech scrubbing tool in the world today I'm seeking a 100 000 investment in exchange for 10 equity in The Scrub Daddy business it's the greatest kitchen scrubbing tool you ever used it could scrub that it completely changes its texture by just adjusting your water temperature let me show you how that works here we've got some hot water here I've got some cold water when I merge the scrub that is in a hot and cold water a complete transformation occurs now to show you that I've got 10 pound weights here under the 10 pounds it's soft and compressible and that's like a sponge that's for your general scrubbing applications but here check that out it's hard and firm that's going to be for heavy duty scrubbing applications we burned on Brown and gravy tomato sauce cheese and mustard onto a glass stove top and a stainless steel pan I'm gonna take the scrub die and you're gonna see it's just gonna attack right into that burned on Nest scrubbing it right off and remember I'm just using water here there's no chemicals at all and it's going to cut right through that it won't scratch any of your surfaces but it will clean them beautifully now scrub dye is not really smiling anymore so I'm going to put them here in the warm water in just a couple seconds [Music] voila he's back to Bright fresh and clean every time sharks that's not just another smiling face you put it on your hand you can get to the bottom and clean the sides in one move and that smiley mouth that cleans spoons knives Forks spatulas even large serving spoons on both sides at the same time sharks with your help scrub that it will be scrubbing and smiling in every Kitchen in the world wow wow grub Daddy I never witnessed a live infomercial that was fantastic that was incredible do you have samples I do where are you selling this now thank you well currently we have in five supermarkets in the Philadelphia area we also sell it on our website I've been on QVC three times over about three months and how'd it go fantastic they've invited me back over and over and every time I go on they reorder 30 more than the last time so Scrub Daddy is humming and what were your total sales QVC just north of a hundred thousand dollars only in four months do you have a patent on this I actually have a patent I have two more pending we have the trademark we have domain names okay Aaron what do you need the hundred thousand dollars for what I want to do is set up an independent manufacturing facility with automated equipment why do you need to go into your own facility the biggest problem is I'm on their time schedule are you saying that you could be making more Revenue if you 24 7 making scrub daddies the way QVC is going and we're just about to launch in a whole bunch of stores we're going to need that capacity and I have 18 years experience running a manufacturing plant that runs 24 hours a day I know exactly what I need to do to make this thing really efficient and I'm looking to get a strategic partner who can open this up into the retail stores I'm only in five supermarkets that's it what's your cost the cost to make one's about a dollar what are you selling them for about two dollars and eighty cents wholesale wholesale this needs to be in every Supermarket drugstore Walgreens so expensive Mrs slabinski goes to the store and picks this off the shelf and says hey it's a piece of fun with a smiley face on this cost two cents to make in China that's what she's thinking there's a Brillo pad which is traditional product is what a 20 20 you're comparing it to the lowest end of the lowest end you take it up to the highest end talk about the the ones like Gobi pads or other pads out there that are you know brand new I I think you've done a great job today but I don't know if it's going to work in retail I don't I don't buy into that vision just in the packaging I just don't know if I see that difference it doesn't sell on a shelf correct but if you put it in display shippers which we built these beautiful cardboard display shippers and it communicates the message to everything end caps you're gonna have to pay for those things it's hard to get them even if you pay for them great job today but I don't see the retail Vision I'm out I understand I like the product I think you're doing great things you're doing it the exact right way but when I hear QVC no disrespect to Laurie when the company's sales are completely dependent on QVC that's a disaster waiting to happen I've got 3 000 stores lined up right now we're going to be in 3 000 stores I understand but even okay put aside QVC there's still a one product company right not for long we've got scrub mommy we've got scrub baby for doing baby bottles I've got a holder that sits it on your sink and it's got drains in the legs you don't understand who you're dealing with I am right I'm not doubting the scrub Market I'm not down and you are the Scrub Daddy but I'm not a scrub dim so I'm out that hurts Mark I wanted to work with you so bad our qpc does over 8 billion in sales a year and I've done over 500 million yes you have and you rotate products in and out of there and once those products are out they're out how about this deal [Music] a hundred thousand for fifty percent [Laughter] let's start the bidding there all right you're out you know I'm somewhere you can paint any picture and I think that Laurie is a vicious backstabbing shark that's all true but sometimes I love her as well because she is the QVC Queen so I'm offering fifty thousand dollars for 15 if you can raise the rest from Lori and if she wants to do business with you you've heard me say before I can tell instantly if it's a hero or a zero and I think what you've got here is a hero no offense demon I don't need you you don't my offer is a hundred thousand dollars for thirty percent I will get you into infomercial right away and I'm pretty confident that we could get this into all retail stores across the country within literally weeks [Music] I'll tell you what I'll do for you I'll give you a hundred thousand dollars we'll never agree on what percentage I should get we're going to change the model completely you're going to keep the whole company but I want to be your financier I want you to give me 50 cents on every unit sold until I get the 100K back then it drops to 10 cents in perpetuity if you just want to increase your cost of goods sold by 50 nothing right why give up 30 of your company just to sweeten the pot a little bit I'm going to give you 150 000. but 25 percent what are you gonna do I'm changing my offer a hundred thousand dollars but for twenty five percent the experience the connections everything that I have it will be successful I am partnered with the best of them why give up any part of Scrub Daddy think of the relationship you have with the sponge you're selling this thing out and it's gonna cry it won't be happy anymore QVC infomercial and into every single retailer worldwide That's The Power of what we can do just by one infomercial spot I can get you there we've heard that already I want to answer one question all right do you think 25 of the equity in your company is worth more or less than 10 cents a unit in perpetuity and he's supposed to talk where is he going to take you it doesn't matter it doesn't matter okay which may sell 10 million of these and you keep it all for yourself but you're going to be keeping nothing because he doesn't know how to get this out you haven't had any success you're an idiot you don't know what to do I know what to do exactly I just did a half a billion dollar deal with Walmart half a billion but that doesn't mean okay I'd like to write a second can you speak and it's saying Lori go with Kevin Aaron there are like children up here it's awful let's recap yeah let's recap please 150 000 for 25 okay from Damon Kevin a hundred thousand dollars for no percent and a tiny tithe of 10 cents you keep all the equity Lori is offering you a hundred thousand for 25 I offered 150 last time whoa I didn't hear that 100 Laurie oh well I changed my mind 150 000 for 25 percent I'll make you a millionaire within a year so mine just went to 175. whoa it was up to 175. yeah mine just went to two whoa [Music] I just made you an extra hundred thousand I'm out I want to stick it to her ouch wow I'll drop the 50 cents down to 25 cents until the 100K is recovered and then go to 10 cents will you go to five cents seven and a half to deal okay Aaron you've got two offers on the table what are you gonna do you have to make up your mind right now you don't see the benefit of having me as a partner I never said that you need to tell me right now whether you're going with me or not or I'm out I'm here for you I think a deal
