Watching last night's programme brought back the excitement of the presentation we did for Boots and the massive buzz I got when they said we had delivered an exciting pitch and invited us back to a second meeting with them.
The pitch was the most nerve racking experience of my life! I knew I was going up against some stiff competition, looking at the other people waiting in Boots HQ in Nottingham, so the pressure was really on. I knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity - to get the Wingman product in front of such a massive retailer and potentially securing Boots - it would really set the business up! I had done lots of research in to the market and the product, so when I walked in to that room to meet the experts, I felt relatively confident that I knew my stuff.
As last night showed, the buyers seemed impressed to what the Wingman brand had to offer and to be asked back for a secondary meeting was beyond my wildest dreams! I was very excited and as you'll find out over the next few programmes, I've been working hard since then to try to make the Wingman brand a success... so keep tuning in to follow my journey!
