Shelley Westgarth, owner of Huntsville-based Belly Ice Cream Company, decided on a whim to put her product to the ultimate business test.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>She was doing a demo at the Google office in Waterloo on the same day the Dragons&#8217; Den was holding auditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was spur of the moment. I was there anyway so I thought, I\u2019m going to go. There was nothing rehearsed. I just talked it up, what the background of the company is. I got an email saying I wasn\u2019t actually on the show but I was on call as a back up in the event somebody didn\u2019t show up or somebody pulled out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Westgarth did get a call, mere hours before the show&#8217;s taping on May 2. &#8220;They called me and said, &#8216;we have an opening, can you come?&#8217; And I said, &#8216;you realize where I am, right?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Local businesses Portage Promotionals and Staples stepped up to provide materials at the last minute, and Westgarth had an emergency hair appointment at the Hudson. &#8220;I was out the door in an hour. All these companies rushed like lunatics to get stuff done for me and I got down there. It was a community effort. I was touched by the number of people who jumped in to help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not wanting to sound scripted, and not believing she would actually get on the show anyhow, Westgarth hadn&#8217;t planned what she was going to say. &#8220;I\u2019m far better talking it up. I\u2019ve been talking about my company for years, I know what it\u2019s about. So I purposely didn\u2019t script myself. I just got in the car and went.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Westgarth says her goal was promotion, so she went into the show with a small ask: five per cent for $50,000 for a return of $75,000. &#8220;So they would see a 50 per cent interest rate and I figured it would be a full payback in two years. The drawback to not scripting myself was I didn\u2019t say the return part.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>I think I\u2019m the only pitcher in the history of the Dragons&#8217; Den to ask the Dragons for free money.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_23950\" style=\"width: 419px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23950\" class=\" wp-image-23950\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/11\/Michael-Wekerle-tries-Belly-photo-CBC.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Wekerle, CBC Dragon's Den\" width=\"409\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/11\/Michael-Wekerle-tries-Belly-photo-CBC-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/11\/Michael-Wekerle-tries-Belly-photo-CBC.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dragon Michael Wekerle raved about Belly Ice Cream on his Twitter account @MWekerle (Image: CBC Dragons&#8217; Den on Twitter @cbcdragon)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Dragons, understandably, were incredulous at the non-deal she offered them despite loving the product. &#8220;So while they were saying, &#8216;Oh, just come in and ask for free money&#8217;, I thought they were being sarcastic because they thought the deal was too small,&#8221; says Westgarth. &#8220;I couldn\u2019t figure it out. As soon as I got outside and had a chance to decompress and calm down, I realized what had gone wrong and I emailed the producer, but at that point it was too late.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But still, they loved her ice cream. &#8220;The thing I wanted was to have five Dragons say &#8216;this is really good ice cream&#8217;.
