Why are some people always so arrogant, if five people with business sense and experience tell you something why are they always going to argue. Sometimes you just gotta realise someone else knows more about something than you.
You've spent months or years developing your product, you've got dreams of making it big, you've put everything on the line, you firmly believe in your product....and someone crushes that dream with a single remark. I can imagine it's tough to handle that, so your first reaction would be a defensive one. Perhaps you'll come to realise that the Dragons were right, but it takes time to deprogram yourself.
This is a classic example of someone that really should stick to their day job. Some people, because they are highly qualified and successful in their own field, assume they are therefore qualified and smart enough for other fields such as business and product marketing. The thing is he doesn't even know that he doesn't know - and he's not even willing to listen to advice from people that DO know!
He doesn't even have a medical background in nutrition, it's in surgery. He lasted 11 months at DATE Smoothie according to his profile before going back to the NHS as a specialist trainee.
I don't think Jenny has any money to invest either so just likes being on TV and pretending. She said on one show her business started with £7 million debt.
That's an unfair judgment, he's trying to show confident body language and in order for his product to have any selling power he needs to play the expert Dr. I don't think he showed arrogance at all. Guy's just trying his best.
The Dr.'s last comment in the final interview showed him to be very short-sighted. Even if another investor watching this show was remotely interested, they would no longer be after his last insult to Touker.

@@S7EVE_P "beg for investment" - showed yourself up there pal. 1. Free advertising and publicity. 2. Dragons like Peter Jones can and have turned ideas into multi million pound businesses. Having your own business isn't the same as being an entrepreneur which requires investment of capital and expertise. Clearly yours isn't worth investing in so you like to go around ridiculing those who try.
@@uncleiroh2668 no, they aren't, they study nutrition and dietics for at least four years, doctors study medicine for five. Nutritionists and dieticians are "less qualified" but more specialised, and know more than doctors do about what humans should be eating (in hospitals when people need to eat certain foods this is determined by the dietician)
I disagree, a doctor will certainly be qualified to "prescribe" the correct quantities of nutrients that a normal, otherwise healthy person, needs from their food. Specialists might be needed in medical conditions where the quantities required change. But my main reason for commenting is that 'dietician' is a protected term. You need to be qualified to call yourself that, but not so with 'nutritionist'. Anyone can call themselves that, and if they do what they're saying is "I have no qualifications in this field but I think I know best, and I'm prepared to mislead you about my level of expertise".
The smoothie and mutt mix actually makes sense, Jenny debates you could simply buy a bag of nuts on the side but this is to help people eat breakfast who don’t have time. This is something you could pick up at the gas station on the way to work if you’re late.
@@ReneeMPhoenix you again!! Wow you really have created an account just to comment on this video and slate this individual. Weird and slightly psychotic behaviour! 😂😂
Smoothies are basically liquid baby food for adults. Also Deborah's right, nobody thinks D.A.T.E is a clever acronym for "Dr. Asif's Thoughtful Eating", they think "oh look a date flavoured beverage" also one thing you can take away from this is, in English the name "Asif" is a portmanteau of "As" and "If" for example "stop trying to argue with the dragons *as if* you have a leg to stand on"
"I'd much prefer you to stay in the profession which you've been trained - to help and save lives." (Peter) I wouldn't want him operating on me, either, to be honest.
Years later and Asif hasn’t learnt to listen. Did the same thing in the Apprentice. There are many Doctors I’ve visited/ had consultations with who had an issue with listening and comprehension skills.
I think he has a bit of a hard time there. Sadly when the packaging was criticised he became a little bit defensive. And that I think is the reason he failed to get any investment rather than the fact the product was wanting in any way.
My wifes best friend is a GP, believe me when I say this, they lack common sense in every other field, maybe because they spend all their lives studying medicine and long hours working that they miss out on real world stuff. the DATE branding is terrible, the product doesn't contain dates, people would hate dates wont touch it. People who like dates will feel cheated. The nuts is a silly idea and by adding nuts to your product you narrow your target market even further because so many people have nut allergies (he's a doctor he should know), additionally not everyone wants to eat nuts with a shake. Dr Asif should stay away from business. Work your field, work up a good nest egg and pension, buy rental property for investment and keep buying more and more rental properties so you can retire like an aristocrat and have 10-20K coming in every month.
'The product doesn't contain dates' When throughout the pitch he explains that Dates are used as a natural sweetener in his smoothies? Looks like GP's are not the only ones who lack common sense.
I get what you mean about the nature of the job leading to less ‘real-world’ experience but it’s a bit much to generalise a whole profession. A&E Consultants often have to think on their feet and make creative solutions not by the book in urgent situations and arguably have more common sense than the average person to get by in their jobs. I get your point I just think saying all doctors lack common sense is a bit inaccurate.
@@crushy3 Not really. Do they negotiate and make deals with people? Do they research markets and then create brands using creative expertise? Do they build reliable forecasts, do accounting and understand business law? No, they see someone from a car accident and follow an established proceedure for dealing with the injuries identified. The TV show HOUSE is not an accurate representation of Doctors, most situations are by the book especially at his young age.
Dr Asif, like so many entrepreneurs from a technical profession, believe, that if you have good technical skills you will make a great business person. The two, unfortunately, are mutually exclusive. Having the skill to craft the product is one perhaps in his reach. But he will still need to learn to study customer behaviour, find shared beliefs and design an experience that's different from other smoothies, but still relevant to the customer. He is likely to fail in his first few businesses before he learns enough about business to survive until the third year.
I can totally relate to this doctor. We spend years of our lives having to instantly defend our clinical decisions. The more instant you respond the greater the chances of winning it in a ward round. And I think taking those scientific skills into this market requires a whole new set of skills. And I think the good doctor needs to go to school for this.
I buy juice/smoothies and you get a kick full of vitamins, having said that the sugar is always so high, so actually i think this guy has a very unique selling point, i agree with the fact the brand name is not really revealing what the product is, but it is easy to remember, alot of people said this guy was rude and unable to listen i think he just really believes in his brand, best of luck to him.
Some people are good and genuine, wanting good for people. Sadly that's not profitable with the corporate world. He stands for the children of Pales tine now. A good man, always.
@@ReneeMPhoenix you seem to hate this chap on a personal level, very strange that you have created an account just to make comments regarding him? Get a life you strange individual.
I doubt it'd work but I suspect his best bet would be to focus it all on the health angle and target health stores where items are often considerably more expensive and where the short shelf life may even work to his advantage (assuming he got the distribution right, which is a whole different matter) as he could use it to show to 'natural' the smoothie is. The regular consumer is not likely to care enough but the very health conscious buyer might. Then again, odds are those stores would not even place him on the shelf. But that should have been his first step.
The two in one could work, but he'd need to revisit the packaging. As it stands, the placement of the nuts beside the smoothy adds rather than removing friction from the buying experience.
Sorry but they are two completely different products. People who go for a ‘healthy’ smoothie often won’t want calorie loaded nuts and even if they did, they wouldn’t want them every morning! You like nuts you buy a big bag and put them in your desk drawer, they don’t go off for a veery long time...

"The rest of the dragons are out...all that's left is Jenny Campbell" lol
The bell tolls.
Only a miracle can help in that situation.
4 years later he’s on the apprentice
yup… something tells me he won’t last long with his “high iq”
@@hatetheusername i think he believes if he mentions he’s a Dr at the end of every sentence that he’ll be ok… also where’d he get blue eyes from 😂

I can totally relate to this doctor. We spend years of our lives having to instantly defend our clinical decisions. The more instant you respond the greater the chances of winning it in a ward round. And I think taking those scientific skills into this market requires a whole new set of skills. And I think the good doctor needs to go to school for this.
I buy juice/smoothies and you get a kick full of vitamins, having said that the sugar is always so high, so actually i think this guy has a very unique selling point, i agree with the fact the brand name is not really revealing what the product is, but it is easy to remember, alot of people said this guy was rude and unable to listen i think he just really believes in his brand, best of luck to him.
I would buy the product, because i never have time to eat.
“And now Jenny Campbell’s wrestling with the idea behind the nutbox!” 😂😂😂 I’m done!
just realised this guy is now on The Apprentice
(clearly didnt work out)
Jenny as last to save the day?! You're on your own kid! ✴
This guy is on The Apprentice 2024 lol
Not anymore he's not
He's fired now and no interview after being fired . I wonder why ?
Apparently the smoothie market is saturated
the shoe market hit the ground running
the hot air balloon market went to great heights
sorry
On the contrary, things are going quite.... smoothly
Massive ego like most doctors who seem to think they are gods for some reason
Peters right there’s no way his smoothie with a shelf life of 3 days will make it
Some people are good and genuine, wanting good for people. Sadly that's not profitable with the corporate world. He stands for the children of Pales tine now. A good man, always.
Whats he done for palestine
Asif: "Alright, thanks for your time" *starts walking away*
Jenny: "Wait!"
Asif: *Turns around*
Jenny: "I forgot to say I was out"
Jenny: I’ve exceeded the limit on my overdraft, and for that reason I’m out.
I love it when these guys think they know better than the people their asking for money!
Date = the fruit, nobody will think beyond this, basic marketing nouse Deb is 100% accurate
Who is here from The Apprentice?
Me😂
Me, and I only came to see him getting turfed out of that too!
@@ReneeMPhoenix you seem to hate this chap on a personal level, very strange that you have created an account just to make comments regarding him? Get a life you strange individual.
I doubt it'd work but I suspect his best bet would be to focus it all on the health angle and target health stores where items are often considerably more expensive and where the short shelf life may even work to his advantage (assuming he got the distribution right, which is a whole different matter) as he could use it to show to 'natural' the smoothie is.
The regular consumer is not likely to care enough but the very health conscious buyer might. Then again, odds are those stores would not even place him on the shelf. But that should have been his first step.
I learnt something about innocent smoothies today. How cool.
Overcomplicated? I actually liked the idea of having nuts and a smoothie together in one
The two in one could work, but he'd need to revisit the packaging. As it stands, the placement of the nuts beside the smoothy adds rather than removing friction from the buying experience.
Sorry but they are two completely different products. People who go for a ‘healthy’ smoothie often won’t want calorie loaded nuts and even if they did, they wouldn’t want them every morning! You like nuts you buy a big bag and put them in your desk drawer, they don’t go off for a veery long time...
Zoid Burg stfu
he's right. the product is a mess.
The idea is not bad but the fact that it only ast 3 day in shelf is awfel who would take the risk to sell an unknow brand
Haha listening to Jenny talking about novelty value and future
I have lost days of my life watching these Dragons Den clips... Worth it.
5 things not to say in the Den:
*1. Who is Peter Jones?*
*2. Who is Deborah Meaden?*
*3. Who is Touker?*
*4. What's a Tej?*
*5. I came her for Jenny's investment*
Now he’s on apprentice
Asif walks into a bar and the barman says why the long face
01:07 Peter writing down "he knocked over the smoothie"
I just want the narrator to say “let’s see what Peter Jones has to say” nice and simple just once
At least Tej Lalvani communicated his thoughts kindly and he had the good grace to give Asif a slight smile.
he's probably the worst seller there is. Got 2 Dragons out with two sentences. That's an accomplishment.
