BBC Apprentice Series 12 Episode 1 – Collectables Task

The first episode of Season 12 of the BBC Apprentice is a sales negotiation task. The key here is to identify what you have and the value of each item to ensure that the teams get the best price for high value items. It also ensures that the teams don’t waste time trying to sell low value items.

Expert advice

I would get an antiques specialist to look over the lot and pick out a handful of the higher value items. Selling these items to dealers specializing in that area – furniture, china or works of art – will make more profit.

An hour spent better understanding what you have will pay dividends in Lord Sugar’s boardroom.
