- Claire Locke is pitching her range of personalised children's underwear. Claire's 'Smarty Pants' has found itself at a standstill due to Claire's own mental barriers... when Doug begins to question her marketing strategy - it becomes clear that she's in desperate need of business mentoring. The investment Claire's seeking is £150,000 in return for a 25% equity stake.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

Half assed, no organisation, no grounding in reality, no planning, bad decision making. One of the worst pitches of all time. That I've never seen before. Thank you for uploading!
I agree with you there it's almost like she wants someone else to do all the work for her
You are really insulting half assed ideas, that was quarter assed at best
@@anyexpat if that wasn't a 1/8th arsed idea I don't know what is.
You tell em mike
She's a millionaire now tho
I’ve seen a lot of these Dragons Den videos and this is by far the worst pitch/presentation

So let me get this straight. She came up with a not very impressive idea, then made a mediocre design and ordered 180.000 units of 'em with no idea how to pay for it. She somehow managed to spend 15k during this time (no idea where the money went) without even having something like a warehouse to run her operations from. She hasn't done any market research, she hasn't done any branding, marketing, or selling, all while she's on government hand-outs? And to make things even worse, she crumbles at the slightest bit of critique and starts crying.
Come on now, she must be one of the least investible people I've ever seen.
Jenny would've invested
I feel bad for her :(
You forgot that she has no plans to validate the quality of the panties she receives, and no mechanism for doing so anyway.
@Induxvideos how do you figure she is still trading ?
@Induxvideos The fact that the company is still registered at the Companies House doesn't mean it's not dormant.
Step 1: Collect underpants
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit!
What about step 2?
Err, step 3 = PROFIT!
YAAAAAY

This is such a classic British reply lol love it
She then has a tantrum when it doesnt go her way. She forgot she was on dragons den for a moment and thought the tactics she has used on her Mommy her whole life would work in the the den. I blame the parents. Spoilt brat.
Exactly pal on the dole, but even on on a such scheme if they had a valid business opportunity it could be allowable but this didn't.

Franchement!
Anyone can have a product. Selling it is key.
Her : "You know when you got passion for something, it involves emotion!".
Doug : "Yes absolutely!" Mentally imagining the 13 years old girl, waiting for him in his house, that he would tell the police later he thought was 18...

She is like a little child. She has never really matured. You can tell by her reaction to rejection. So she would be a complete nightmare as a business partner !!!
And the way she said 'why?' when responding to Peter Jones as well.
Basically, what does that word mean
She's a Mombie, they're a dime a dozen. They're all like this, overly emotional, painfully average women who build their entire personality around having kids.
I thought ur profile pic is a hair on my phones screen 😂😂
@@Jim-so3zm Right? So whiny! And that little pout she did after the dragons declared themselves out, ugh, just so childish.
So funny that she thought being an entrepreneur would give her more time with her son.
Yeah, surprised no dragon questioned that. I thought it was an odd statement.
That's cuz she fully expected to only do this part time while sitting on her porcine arse collecting welfare checks.
She was on the dole, how much time do you want to spend with your offspring?
Clearly just wanted to have a really good idea (according to her) and let the dragon do all the work. While she sits at home and takes care of her son making tons of money.
Unfortunately the world doesn’t work that way lmao

I'm guessing he was so astonished at what he was hearing that he couldn't even muster a witty comment about it. But still afterwards he's telling her about how passionate she was and that really came across. The bloke's a professional liar.
I swear they think the viewers are mentally handicapped.
One of the most pathetic journalists at the BBC.
I thought this was hilarious tbh 😂
OK that was easily the worst pitch I've seen. She's the type of person that would ruin lives with her business decisions.
Gus Tamer hey hey there’s been worse you mustn’t underestimate early season pitchers
@@sancheetb She's unemployed and spent 100k worth of undies probably from alibaba that she can't afford. If you've seen worse than that I'll like to know. She's shouldn't be anywhere near a business. And she actually had the nerve to talk back to the dragons like she even has a slight clue. Very dangerous.
Gus Tamer ruclips.net/video/dadNBfNmh5I/видео.html here you go, I think this is worse because of the “entrepreneur’s” attitude not necessarily because of the situation of their business
@@sancheetb This one is worse than the one you linked. This girl has no order and no facilities and she placed a 100k order. Then crumbles when asked why she is not selling.

@Induxvideos good product imo. but just a commodity, nothing else, she basically offered a 20ft container of lettered pants. im sure the landed container is worth more than the price paid.
But thats it.
Buy these lettered pants for a discount rate. Then what? Then you have a load of pants. Then what? ... I dunno, I guess sell them or something.
Will you sell them for me? ... maybe, possibly, who knows.
Have you tried? ... a bit, not really.
"A small technicality" jesus she needs to listen to herself. She's dug herself a 10 ft deep grave and now shes asking for an excavator
No reason or accountability - yeah. Red flag. I wouldn't even date this woman, much less do business with her.
MrJamininja hell nah 😂 not in a million years.
No. I think you were watching something else. This one ordered £100,000 of pants and can't pay for them.
The second she said she hadn't gone out trying to sell it "because she had a bit of a mental thing at the moment", it would have been game-over for me as an investment proposition.
Dragon: "What mental thing?"
Woman: "I woke up."
Alarm bells 101
It was game over the moment she said she'd ordered 180k pairs of pants lmao
Well i must be psychic because i already knew that
she comes across as very privileged when she says ‘as i tell my dad, it’s a minor detail’
good lord this woman is the perfect example of a terrible mindset.
when she says she lost no money in retail...they should have asked her how much money her father lost 🤮
She’s on the dole do u understand what that is? Deffo not privileged

Everybody learns somewhere. The company is still going so she definitely figured something out.
Calvin Klein convinced millions to wear pants with his name on them. Genius.
Haha

Yeah mostly shirt lifters
She could do the same. Imagine "Claire Locke" in the Comic Sans font.
She will never be a Calvin Klein 😞

Worst was the guy with the phone taxi driver business

Pants lady: would you buy my pants?
Presenter: laughs
Me: mate she wasn't joking
This is probably the first time she has tried to sell them... lol
She complains that they didnt talk about the product
When she gave them nothing to talk about, no sales, no potential buyers, no quality control...
The product was just branded underwear for kids. No patent and no brand.
The person and the business are far more important aspects than the product especially when it cannot be protected. She could have the greatest invention... but she would simply not bother to promote or try to sell it.
She wanted someone else to do it for her so she can watch cartoons with her son all day 🙄
5:25 is the exact moment the self pity she has used her whole life to devoid herself of responsibility kicked in. Have seen it so many times. Its honestly pathetic. Shes asking for a charity handout essentially. To start blubbering at this stage is ridiculous.
In short: manipulative game!

A small technicality
"What am I lacking?"
Experience, knowledge, intelligence, sanity, wisdom, logic, realism, direction, vision, portion control, sex appeal, maturity, emotional stability, communication skills, foresight, insight, hindsight, the ability to learn, the ability to listen, potential for improvement, instinct, free time, a sense of caution, responsibility, planning, funding, the ability to Google search competition, understanding of basic economics, understanding of risk vs reward, understanding of supply and demand, a viable product, a proven concept, commitment, connections, reliability, confidence, humility, the ability to connect with people, and probably around half your chromosomes.
But other than that?
definetly no sex appeal at all LMAO
well, this is very very accurate. nice
She's not short of pants though
SavageArfad Too*
I like the way Doug speaks to people, it's so direct and professional. He cuts right to the chase without being a dick.
This woman doesn’t seem to be taking her pitch very seriously, it seems to me she doesn’t care either way.
I think she self-sabotaged her pitch giving up part way through hoping the Dragons would let her off. This is the problem when trying to rehearse a script rather than believing in the product and being able to ad-lib if your mind goes blank. Although to be fair, what could you really say about personalised underwear...
Which is crazy, considering she has 180k panties showing up on her doorstep in the near future
Claire: I’m really lacking.
Rachel: you’re really lacking.
Claire: lacking what?? 🥲

That's what passion & commitment looks like

No, that's what desperation looks like.

@@Bella_Luna1 i get that i feel the same i may be in the minority but i also try (and sometimes fail) to drive on as thats the only way to get better. i would of handled this differently i thought how i wpuld set up a business i would get a proof of concept in the form of say a few hundred or thousand then go get large order if possible if not continue selling as much get a disributer or investor to give you the capital to then meet those large orders and get banj

Bahahahahahahaha! Best comment by far! Hahahahahahaahahhaahaha!
Funniest comment of them all
Peter and Doug- two of the toughest, nastiest dragons, were actually pretty reasonable and gentle in their rejection here!
They were probably afraid if they totally roasted her she would have a total hysterical meltdown and just wanted her to gtfo
I'd like to say a big thanks to Claire. Times like this, we all need a good laugh.
🤣🤣
She looked like a bratty child being scolded by her parents with her childish pouting and whining.
From the BBC website 😊:
"Claire left the den without investment and when we last saw her she had moved to new premises to accommodate her stock. The children's range of Smarty Pants sold well at country shows and Claire took the business to the next level, opening a shop in Sheffield's Meadowhall centre. Claire declares "the whole of Sheffield's got their name on their pants!"
Unfortunately Smarty Pants were caught in 2007's floods but Claire has a positive outlook for the future. Having successfully delivered small print runs for large companies in Yorkshire she has opened a second shop in Doncaster, hoping for a third in time to make the most of Christmas trade.
Claire's been busy expanding her personalised printing business and has seen a steady growth in turnover despite the recession. Keeping her prices low and service high, Claire has been welcoming return custom, particularly from students. With the mantra "pennies make pounds" Claire continues to work towards her ultimate goal of a concession stand in Topshop's flagship store."
Still a going concern as of 2021, according to the Companies House website. Good for her. I thought it was a terrible idea, and she'd never get anywhere. Sometimes it's nice to be proven wrong.
Sure ... Topshop is the way to go 😅😵!
yup, sounds like a flop to me, just because the business is still going doesnt mean anything
Aw
She has done literally nothing 😂 She doesn't even have a business
The people who scout the businesses for this show. Thank you so much, really entertaining.
I wish people pitching in the Den would listen to the Dragons, rather than make excuses or get defensive.
Legend has it she sold all 100k worth of pants at a flea market market for a £10 lamp and a fiver
"The best business idea ever!"
Sponge Bob
Pretty panties!
Duncan is my favorite, man. Veteran of the Ice Cream Wars; thats actually a hard man, so seeing him on this show is just hilarious.
Ice cream wars?
@@giantspiderproductions3356 He owned an ice cream business
No the ice cream wars during the glasgow Gangland times was a brutal job I grew up in it was a mega time to be a glasga wain 🤣
6:19 "Maybe you'll think fantastic idea but we're going to have to carry this girl."
Don't be so down on yourself. No one was thinking that. No one was thinking it was a fantastic idea.
I still think the dragons were pretty kind to her, they kept saying she was able to succeed and stuff
That's true. 👍
Yup, and even THAT was too harsh for her, she fell to pieces and called them all meanies for daring to question her utter lack of business sense and ask her to put even the smallest modicum of effort into selling her product. 🙄
As of 2021, the business is still trading 16 years after the initial appearance on the show. The last year saw profits of almost 100k, turning an accumulated deficit of 13k into accumulated profits of 85k over the life of the business. While that would have made for a poor investment for the dragons at 150k for 25%, at least Claire has managed to maintain profitability even if not particularly stellar.
Joseph, can you share a link that supports your statement about Claire's business?
@@Philippe_Gruijthuijzen I'm not sure where Joseph found his statement, but this is from BBC:
Claire did well selling her product in county fairs, and Claire took the business to the next level, opening a shop in Sheffield's Meadowhall centre. Claire declares "the whole of Sheffield's got their name on their pants!"
Unfortunately Smarty Pants were caught in 2007's floods but Claire has a positive outlook for the future. Having successfully delivered small print runs for large companies in Yorkshire she has opened a second shop in Doncaster, hoping for a third in time to make the most of Christmas trade.

If you're being supported by the government then you shouldn't be opening businesses, you need to be finding a stable, immediate living that doesnt take potentially years to give you a proper profit. Pretty selfish style of living.
She'll make a great Politician … Big promises, but no money to pay for them.

She used to be my neighbour a couple years ago, i can say confidently that her horrible attitude hasn’t changed a bit, even from the recent updates i’ve gotten.
You can't say that without giving us some stories.

At least then you wouldn't have to remember.

"I think I've got a lot more than you realise"
180,000 pairs of crap, tacky underwear rotting in the back garden (and the debt for these unpaid assets) and £70 per week on the JSA.
Yeah.
She totally missed the mark. If she came in and gave them pants printed with "Pizza Jones" "Duncan Banner Time" and "Theo the Fetus" she'd have walked out with at least 300k.
100k extra if she remembered to keep Jenny out.
This is amazing 👏
"As well as ordering a vast number of pants with no means of quality control and no cash to pay for them, Doug's discovered that she hasn't even started looking for buyers"
She put 15k in a biz but she’s on the dole? Whaaaaa????
I like these back in the day episodes, when genuinely struggling entrepreneurs were looking for help and financial assistance, compared with now where millionaires are using the show to advertise their businesses for free, with no real need for a dragon or their cash 😮😂
What a tempting proposition; save a helpless, emotionally unstable, grown ass single mother with the mentality of a child and who lives on welfare. Sign me up!
She then went on to invent fibromyalgia and never had to work again

Jenny is so out that she didn't even show up
She would have taken a free sample for "I is for I'm Out"
Rachel saying “sorry?” After this 🤡 says she’s hasnt worked out how she’s gonna pay for them actually killed me 😂😂
Absolutely disastrous pitch, up there with the worst of all time. Thanks for uploading!
Even Evan Davies had to give her the swerve at the end. How embarassing!
Car crash TV right there. This woman is all over the place. It's not a Dragon she needs it's a psychologist.
Not selling because its a mental thing.. worst excuse ever.
The ladies collecting welfare and you wonder why she's not out selling? Probably for the same reason she's not out looking for a job
I had a pair of undies with my name on them when I was a child back in the 60’s!
Is your name Calvin Klein?
No
Yeah, this was already a thing back in the 1960-70's. And kind of creepy having your parents put name tags in all of your clothes.
magusxxx this wasn’t name tags it was fun writing on the panties, I also had some with each day of the week printed on them! So it’s not a new idea!
I must admit that blame here is on the production. they brought her knowing it will look like that just for the ratings regardless of how this might effect her.
This lady needs a therapist and a job, not an investor.
Would you hire her?
Not me. I'm out.
No, her business is doing well now. The dragons missed an opportunity to make money.
Hey, I appreciate the honesty about wasting taxpayer money on crap 💆🏾♀️
So you should be getting out there and trying to sell your product right?
Claire: very true!
So what have you been doing to do that?
Claire: 👁👄👁
She cried because she didn't want to answer. Notice how fast she recovered when he moved on from the selling question.
I can see Claire having a fit and yelling "YOU'LL ALL REGRET THIS!!" "ALL OF YOU!" "ALL OF YOUUUUUUU!!!!"🤯🤯🤯
8:00 The way her face fell was so comical XD
Haha, had this on repeat. Not a single comment about it
Mate haven't even sold a single pants, no potential buyers, no facilities whatsoever, then orders 180,000 knickers with absolutely no quid to pay for it. She really thought that she'd just come there, and they'd give her the money. Bruv🤦♀️
And valued her business at £600k.
Also kind of dumb of the supplier to shop without getting paid. Or maybe I’m not understanding how that process works
What scares me is that the company in India making these for her, never took a deposit? If they make it and she has no money, they've still made it. They won't give it to her but they still lose money no?
@@HR-uc9bz she said about 15k she spent. That is what she paid as deposit the company in India, which by the way can easily produce each of these pants of 10-20 cents. For those 180k pieces they probably would spent around 20k.
And she will have to pay around 100k to get the merchandise.
But this company will make a couple of hundreds or thousands so she will have a sample.
And when they see that they dont have a payment with the rest of the money, they will keep the deposit and not produce anything more for her.
So she will be left maybe with 1k pieces that she paid 15k.
So actually the one who lost is her..
And since she doesn't really wants to sell, since she imagines to have a warehouse and a dragon to bring businessmen that want her panties(product) with offers and her to play businesswoman that will talk about money in her office..
You could tell this is what she was imagining..
When she thought of having to work and sale on the phone to different shops, she had tears..
So to take it a step forward..
She wanted a dragon to give her 150k for 25% of her idea..
With 85k to pay the company in India, to pay back her father 15k, to rent an office with 20k and also get a good salary to play around the year of 30k.
Then the dragons that paid for all her merchandise would get 25% of 180k x 3.99= 760k -tax = 190k - tax. So basically they would get their money back if they would manage to sell a fifth of a million panties.
Nice plan.
Not to mention she's buying from India with no quality control whatsoever. I can guarantee you not a single pair of those knickers is even remotely wearable.
There was something very wrong with her.
Amazingly her company is still going today, you can find out their accounts on the gov company search website as SMARTY PANTS LTD, specifically the one based in nottingham
Sort of. She's certainly not doing well for herself, she's got an outstanding balance and her website is atrocious. She doesn't even sell underwear anymore, just cringey, bottom of the barrel generic holiday-themed dreck you'd find at any tourist gift shop.
To be fair to her, she’s got multiple top 10 best selling items on Amazon and the business is growing at a quick rate.
She's tried absolutely nothing and she's all out of ideas
The fire was actually caused by an Abracadabra.
Hahaha r/unexpecteditcrowd
She'd ordered 180,000 but how did she decide what names and how many of each one
She made a mistake and wanted someone else to pay for it. It was an insulting pitch and she crumbled because she knew what she was trying to do. The dragons were actually kind to her and gave her a lot of good advice, besides.
Nottingham no surprise
The first time I've scanned down a load of 'cruel' comments and found them all hilarious - she was abysmal indeed! 🤣 (Can you imagine how Deborah may have treated her?)
Not the sharpest tool. Even if she had a great product, she has NO CLUE what she is doing and she appears lazy. She has horrible excuses. Nobody is ever going to invest in her. She is looking for a handout and this is the wrong place to look for a handout.
I don't think she likes Rachel for some reason 😂😂
I hope her son self actualizes and learns from his mother's mistakes. Shame that his mum's so dumb though😔
To openly admit you have hung a supplier out to dry and then ask someone to trust you enough to become a partner and invest- unbelievable.
I knew I was out the moment I saw her coming up the stairs... I hate those stands, and they work terribly in stores...
