Week 7 (first posted 13 June 2013)

Double whammy! Time to purge the nondescript quiet ones who hover in the backroom, failing to demonstrate either business talent or shameless TV mugging.  Kurt's error was to fall in love with a retro caravan, whilst Natalie did nothing.  Again.
 
We all heart Jason: OAP-flirtin’ his way to a mighty caravan sale!  Lordsiralun was so impressed he got Frances to call Jason back in to the boardroom to congratulate him. Jason's response: a series of bows whilst shuffling backwards. But it gave him the confidence back home to brandish a glass of red and declare himself one of the best.  Take that, Neck Beard!
 
Feminism: when the chips are down and your suave right hand man Myles hasn't sold any funky, super kool retro caravans to the Hoxton hero target market of 'caravan convention attendees', well… There's only one option left for Kurt: “Bring one of the girls over.  We need some eye candy.”  Yes, that happened. 
 
And, on a completely unrelated matter, here’s what Lord Sugar had to say on the matter of sales technique.
 
YEAH!  GIRL POWER!
 
Eyebrows-watch: mistaking a mobility scooter for a bike, a live QVC audition, actually selling the giant washing up bowl they were marketing as a 'boat box', and calling his punters “old, old, old, old, old”. Alex claims to be 22, but that face already looks botoxed to a terrifying level, so perhaps he was speaking from experience.
 
Next week: the ad task. For a dating website. What could possibly go wrong?
