WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A HOST ON QVC   FOR ME NO TO  MUCH PRESSURE SELLING   PLUS THE  DIFFERENT HOURS    

[TheMemphisVette]

yes

[tansy]

It would have beat my jobs for sure. 

[chrystaltree]

No way.  I don't have the required skill set, I don't have the personality for it and being a sales person isn't something I would ever want to do....regardless of the money.

It is not an easy job, lots of disadvantages.  I think the pressure to sell must be terrific.  However, I think the hosts must be very well paid because most left nice jobs to take the QVC position.  My worry would be how am I going to be effective and keep my job years down the road when I'm not so cute and bouncy.  TV favors the young and attractive.

QVC seems fairly good about hanging onto to their hosts and models as they age...at least as far as my memory goes.

I would love to be a QVC Host!!! That's my dream job. My other dream job is to be a taste tester for Ben & Jerrys....but that's another story....😉

And where is Courtney Cason ?

Kachina - Agreed. Remember when Leah was still quite young and received many, many negative comments on her eyelids? Yep, she had plastic surgery to eliminate the "droopy eyelid" many women naturally have. Would imagine many of the hosts have had similar procedures done to stay in front of the camera. Not a job I'd want or worth the medical risks to keep. Frankly, I'd find doing the same sell, sell, sell day after day very boring! How is that contributing to anything in the big scope of things? Just a fat paycheck? Not enough for me.

No. As a QVC customer I have my favorite products, then there are those that I wouldn't have if I got them for free! It would be hard to sell those products as if they were the best thing since sliced bread. I couldn't fake it!
