Why all the yelling ...

Peggy — Sun, 21 Apr 2019 21:26:15 GMT

Sorry if this has been covered already ... but it seems many of the female host have taken to yelling to show their excitement. Please ... act like adults.

I never hear hosts yell. Some viewers also complain about screaming; I've never heard a host scream either.

I guess if I did, I'd turn down the TV volume.

Jane, Antonella, Kim Gravel....absolute turn offs. Loud, loud, loud.

barely watch QVC anymore... too much, knit, nylon and spandex in their clothing and the beauty products are totally over-hyped and extremIy expensive. I get my skin care else where. I do love jewelry shows and Isaac.

YEAH, many of them do yell. Many of them talk too fast. Many of them talk over vendors. Many of them mispronounce words. Many of them come to the presentation unprepared. Many of them tell way too many personal stories (even saw a reenactment of a fall from a curb in NYC). Many of them seem frantic and flit from one space to another. It's all been noticed and commented on and it makes no difference. It all remains the same!!

@maximillian Everyone has different opinions on who they like and don’t like. So who’s opinion should they take?

@ellaphant

In Italian we call it being a cafone (ka-fone-eh). A term Antonella would be familiar with.

I would call it shouting, like a carnival barker using the "hard sell." The hosts must think this will sell more items, by attracting our attention. For me, it has the opposite effect. I either mute the sound, or change the channel altogether.

I guess they think yelling at us will scare us into buying.

Have I got a surprise for them.

Opinion is one thing.

Having consistent, professional presentations is quite another.

There is a real way to have good presentations that please almost everyone without making it a repetitive and robotic.

Too bad QVC cannot see this. Or if they do see it, they look the other way.

They do need to try something different..what QVC is doing isn't working, financials aren't the best....maybe some hosts can use some additional training

Well said!

And I'll just add....there's also more to product presentations than just going through the colors.......

@Peggy

This topic has been beaten to death many times on this board and others.. They are salespeople. Nothing more. Some hosts get excited, some low key. They are individuals with different personalities and demeanor.. that is what people are. Not just robots, cut from the same mold....saying and doing the same thing. Life would be boring if it were so.

One can always turn down the tv volume, mute, use Closed Captioning, switch channels, or better yet....turn off the tv?

You have choices.

Daysdee — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 16:57:32 GMT

Why do many of the hosts have to raise their voice at the end of a sentence? (I know I can change the channel and I do.)
