Lusia Zissman revealed her price for getting naked this week. Looks to me that she might be heading for the Katie Price approach to business (never really taken seriously as a business woman).

What is a businessperson, in your opinion? To me, it's someone who provides some sort of service in exchange for money or some other settlement. And that's exactly what she does.
It's interesting to read Luisa's plans to be the 'sexy Mary Berry' at the same time as Paul Hollywood is desperately trying to get people to forgive him an affair and save his career. I thought her business partner's suggestion in the Sunday Mirror that she could take Mary Berry's place on Bake-Off was delusional. I think she could be the next Katie Price. Mary Berry - no.
Talking of Apprentice strippers, Katie whatshername apparently takes her clothes off in one magazine this week. No comment.
So by your definition, a prostitute will also be a businessperson as she provides some sort of services in exchange for money ? :eek: (I'm not saying Luisa is a prostitute,mind):o However there are good businesses and bad businesses and if Luisa or anyone wants to be taken seriously in the professional business world as we know it,then certain things should be avoided such as stripping for money.You might say you don't mind but you're not the general public who she's trying to impress and for a lot of serious business people,stripping for money would definitely be seen as tarnishing a good business image,fact!
Then, by your definition, every employee in the world is a businessperson, because they provide a service and get paid for it. Taking off your clothes for money has nothing to do with being a businessperson.
Yes, exactly. I would say that those people are businesspeople.
So how would you define a businessperson then? People criticise mine, but no one here so far has offered an alternative definition.
Someone who actually runs a business. If you're a stripper & provide your services via your business, then that would make you a businessperson. Working for some agency and taking tips in your underwear when you get naked at parties doesn't make you a businessperson.
Hmm, I suppose I'd say anyone who physically does it is a businessperson, as opposed to someone who in in charge of the company. I don't think you have to be in charge to be a businessperson.
Pick up a dictionary. You will find "businessperson" and "business" can be applied to almost everything.
Not Katie Hopkins? Will no one think of the children?
Yes it can but I think in the context of this thread the word is used to mean 'entrepreneur' - this suggests someone who can dream up a new business idea and make money out of it. That certainly applied to Luisa's baking business - but not to her cashing in on her z-list celebrity by getting her kit off (as many BB contestants etc have done before only to vanish without trace ...)
I can't help thinking that the age of making a career as a minor celeb on the back of a TV show is over (I hope) and I think Luisa will be very silly indeed if she goes that route - she will end up tarnishing her brand beyond repair and achieve nothing by it. There seem to be a whole stable of zelebs that these shows can call on (step forward Kerry and Jordan) and no-one really will care much about an Apprentice runner-up in a few months time. Same goes for cashing in her looks/sexuality - she is attractive but there are loads of better looking girls out there and without the apprentice tag who would care very much?
I don't much like the idea of Leah's clinic but at least she does present herself as a serious business woman and I think (hope) th at she has too much class to go the zeleb route if things don't work out with her original plan ...
Which she has denied
of course she would deny it, if she has been turned down by all of them
