What a joke

Grouchomarx — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 19:47:55 GMT

Dennis Basso was on with Kirsten and they wee selling a short duster. He stated that he doesn’t like the really long ones, they drag you down, and Kirsten chimed in it can look like a bathrobe. Hmm, aren’t they always selling long dusters on this channel? Why trash something that you were just hawking to save your life a hot minute ago (Barefoot dreams, Lisa Rinna)? Not very professional.

They think we're stupid. Very insulting to their customers.

Uhhh...if it's not long, it can't really be called a "duster," right? Weird.

I think the better sales pitch is to say that different lengths serve different purposes and extoll the virtues of the one they are presenting. There’s no need to disparage other styles to sell yours. I would respect that approach much more than tearing something else down.

They are counting on us having zero memory.

If a QVC Vendor demeans a competitor it's a real turn off with me.....

I remember one time the Luminara Vendor directed a dig at Candle Impressions that happened to be the item on right before her. The Candle Impressions Vendor extolls the pluses of her product and always takes the high road, a classy lady. I never could stand that Luminara Vendor after that because of that snarky comment...

I do not happen to enjoy Dennis Basso's clothes anymore. I have not for some time. I think it is wrong of him to put down the longer dusters as there are several other vendors who do them well. Shame on Kirsten! She sells for those other vendors.

I've never purchased a single thing from Basso, simply because he is a furrier.

Yes, I’ve watched hosts speak praises of “product a”, then on the same day, different show, speak praises of a similar product and speak about how much better it is than “product a” (without saying the exact product name, of course). No, we are not stupid.

We all should know by now, the hosts are only loyal to the product they are selling at the time.

Along the same line, I have noticed hosts who claim to have "used Product X since I was 15." Next show, same host claims she only uses "Product Y" and has never in her life had to use any other brand. I'm never sure if I think they are outright lying or maybe we can call it dissembling. As usual, we need to be good consumers. Buyer beware.

I won't ever buy his things for that exact same reason.

@Spurt I have heard the Luminara vendor say the same thing and take a dig at Candle Impressions. That too turned me off. Actually something about Janine turns off. I turn the channel whenever she is presenting anything on the Q.

I wonder what that Luminara Vendor would do if a customer called in and talked about the declining quality of Luminara, the battery box falls apart, not many hours of battery life, etc...and then say how much they love Candle Impressions LOL!

@Grouchomarx

To my way of thinking, they all get paid enough to sell their products without demeaning or badmouthing another product or style.

I haven't watched DB in years, but that is another reason I quit watching most shows altogether.

One hour, they loved this or that...next hour, it was out of favor. They use it, they don't use it....

Seriously? If they are SELLING it, why not just focus on the positive attributes.

It all = NO SALE to me.

It's all about the bucks and making a sale.

The last Luminara candles I purchased were a set of 2 glittered pillars. The whole bottom of the candle falls out when I lift the candle to clean it or change the batteries. I don't think I'll purchase any more of them.

I can't stand to listen to Dennis Basso. I either mute him or go watch or do something else. He was talking over Leah like crazy during a presentation last week. I also don't like it when they disparage other types of clothes to try and sell what's presented. I'd like to think shoppers are keen enough to know it's a shady sales tactic and just buy what they know is their style and what flatters them.
