Changing the Perception of Sales
What They Didn’t Show on The Apprentice - Mia Collins
In this episode of Changing the Perception of Sales, we’re joined by the powerhouse of The Apprentice season 19, Mia Collins. You might recognise her from your TV screen, but behind the confident, entrepreneurial go-getter is a story of resilience, personal growth, and relentless ambition. Mia always had an interest in business but grew up lacking confidence and, as she puts it, basically mute.
But, when she landed a role in sales, everything changed. Her unique and personable approach saw her excel with clients and her confidence skyrocket. Always ready for another challenge, Mia combined her entrepreneurial spirit with her love for healthy food and founded MeMeals, a meal prep service for health-conscious gym-goers without the time or skills to do it themselves.
That business idea and hunger for success was what landed her on our screens earlier this year in the latest season of the BBC’s The Apprentice. So, in this episode, we discuss the sacrifices she made to run her own business alongside a full-time sales career, share her journey onto the show and pull back the curtain on some of the biggest challenges.
Of course, no conversation with Mia would be complete without some juicy behind-the-scenes stories from The Apprentice. From the infamous Easter egg task (where she managed to sell 80,000 “green yule logs”) to her culinary success in Turkey, she shares what it was REALLY like in the boardroom and the unexpected lessons that came from each task.
And if you think Mia’s all business, think again! She’s also a dedicated bodybuilder. Mia talks about how she found her love for competing, the discipline it requires, and how bodybuilding has taught her just as much about sales and entrepreneurship as any business venture.
If you're looking for inspiration on how to turn dreams into reality, juggle multiple passions, and get a peek behind the curtain of one of the UK’s biggest business shows, this episode is for you.
