Melissa, the latest casualty of the current series of The Apprentice, is a great
reason for companies to get business insurance, because you never know what
they’ll do next for your company.
Of course, business insurance is not all about protecting a company against the
misplaced enthusiasm of some employees, but knowing that you have some
protection against their actions, is a comfort.
Melissa had that un-erring confidence that was mostly articulated by ‘loud hailer’
communication techniques and appearing to know everything about everything.
She doesn’t of course and in the previous episode, she was lucky to escape with her
life after an embarrassing business pitch in which she failed to flog a hotel some
bread buns.
She did it again this week, trying to sell shower heads to the chief buyer at
Debenhams, even though he repeated the simple fact that they didn’t stock
shower heads. But despite Melissa’s efforts, team Synergy still looked in with a
good chance until it was revealed that dark horse Liz, of team Apollo, had flogged
£99,000 of baby-grow products to Debenhams, and so secured the team the
victory.
Now with employees like Liz, there might be less of a need for business insurance.
Melissa was unceremoniously evicted as Lord Sugar raised the finger and said the
immortal words: “You’re fired.”
Perhaps team Synergy could do with a little more business insurance themselves.
Many are lamenting the loss of Melissa: the big mouth has gone and maybe things
will be a little less exciting from now on!
