    Even though she may seem a bit pervy at times, Barbara is the only Shark who closes 60% of her deals after the show.

    I’ve been watching Shark Tank and noticed that Barbara Corcoran has an impressive track record despite sometimes coming across as quirky.

    She closes more than 60% of her deals, making her the Shark who follows through on the most deals. Interestingly, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec only close about a third of their deals, while Mark Cuban closes twice as many deals as any other investor on the show. Daymond John manages to close more than half of his deals but often changes the terms, and Kevin O’Leary closes 45% of his deals.

    Didn’t she once go out because she would rather spend her money on a beach house? Classic Barbara! 🏖️

      Or when she went out because a pitcher had a wealthy father. 😅

    Barbara once said, “You have an answer for everything. And for that reason, I’m out.” I thought it was good to have answers for questions! 🤔

    I’ve always liked Barbara Corcoran’s style. It’s interesting that she closes over 60% of her deals after the show. I guess it shows she’s really committed to the businesses she invests in

      60%? Sounds too high. Maybe she’s just lucky. Or maybe she has a magic wand we don’t know about.

      Barbara quirky? Maybe. But closing 60% of her deals? She’s like the cool aunt Maybe she just has a sixth sense for deals!

      Yeah, but let’s not forget, some of her deals flop too. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Even she admits not all investments pan out

        I guess no one can win them all. Not even the “deal whisperer” herself. 😏

    Wow, I didn’t know that! Yes, Barbara seems quirky, but she must be doing something right.

    Barbara’s success can be attributed to her hands-on approach and her focus on entrepreneurs with strong vision and determination. She’s known for her ability to see potential where others might not

      It’s all just a numbers game. Invest enough times, and you’re bound to get a few hits. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, right?

    True, It seems she has a knack for picking winners, like The Comfy blanket deal which made her a huge profit

    Barbara’s success shows the importance of believing in your partners. Plus, she seems to bring out the best in her entrepreneurs.

      Okay, but let’s not ignore that she has to be selective because she doesn’t have as deep pockets as the other Sharks. Sometimes being cautious pays off. Or maybe she just really likes saying “I’m out” in a dramatic way.

        That’s a fair point. But maybe that caution is why she has such a high success rate! Or perhaps she’s just mastered the art of the “narrow escape.”
