Edward Bess show and Lisa interrupting at hyper speed

countrygal47 — Sat, 06 Sep 2014 04:30:27 GMT

I was fascinated by Edward Bess' line and the new advice and things he had to say about

his line. Unfortunately, Lisa kept interrupting him. That drives me nuts! Besides it just

being flat out rude, we don't get what he has to say about his unique line. Also, when a host

keeps trying to talk so fast and talk over the guest it makes you edgy as a listener. It's too

hectic and not a pleasure to listen to. I like a nice conversation, a cool and calm back and

forth. Please, Lisa, I love you, but turn it down, girl. Sometimes more is not more.

I know it does seem rude, but she wants to make sure she gets her selling points across so his stuff sells out and they give him another hour long show. It seemed to me that Edward understood that, but it does make one anxious to watch it.

It's evident that the vendor is not important. Wouldn't the vendor be able to make selling points? Why have vendors at all?

IMO the host's role should be to facilitate the vendor in selling her/his product. I have seen instances where the vendor is camera-shy and this is where the host does a good job stepping in. Then there are those vendors who are extremely knowledgeable, know their product inside out, have an excellent camera rapport and an easy and intelligent way of explaining their product to viewers. They don't need a lot of host intervention. I didn't see last night's show but that would be someone like Edward Bess.

What is with all the Lisa posts by newbies? Hmm?..

I don't watch QVC very much anymore but read a lot about Lisa doing that. I did catch the show last night and that drove me crazy, but I got the impression it was his lack of experience and rambling on and on just about how much he loved his product, whereas Lisa was trying to get selling points across. I attributed it to his lack of experience on the show. When I could make out what he was saying it didn't seem to be anything important, like how to use it, color or anything like that, just repeating things he'd said before. I'm not saying that to bash him, I bought his products, just that was more the impression I got. But agreed...it drove me crazy.

Lisa had a job to do, & Edward was excited & passionate about his products....that's all there was to it. They work well together...sheesh.

I must have been watching a different show because Lisa was very respectful of Edward and allowed him to talk about all of his products. She seems to be the punching bag of discontented women who watch QVC and always find fault with her.

Considering a dear friend of hers has just passed, I would think folks could maybe give the Lisa bashing a few days break? Too much to expect I guess.

Sometimes when I read these host criticisms I swear people must be watching a different show becaue 99% of the time I don't see it.

Actually, that's the point. As someone who has been in sales, I can tell you it's the host 's job to sell, not the vendor's. A vendor is often very passionate about their product, but the host has been trained to translate that into the features and benefits that sell. So it's a team effort. I watched Lisa with Edward, I thought they made a great team. Edward is very bright and passionate, Lisa can sell snow to Eskimos!

I totally disagree, the vendor is captain. They bring the product. The salesperson is a hired gun. I saw the show and Bess is no shrinking violet. He barely got a word in because she kept cutting him off. This is Lisa's style, she wants to control the process. I find it off putting. On a positive note, he has great makeup that creates a simple, fresh, sophisticated look.

Edward Bess is kind of cute.....not as cute as Nick Chavez, of course, but fairly close. Did Edward Bess ever model?

And sorry, (no offense to Lisa Robertson as all, I mean that) but she does tend to interrupt a bit too much. But other QVC hosts do that quite a bit, too. The vendor knows more about the product they created than the host does, so...yeah. Again, not trying to be mean to Lisa or anything.

Not only on QVC. Yesterday a poster started a thread about someone bashing Lisa on FB. And last night Lisa mentioned it on air. She said she had a pretty bad week and mentioned it was Wednesday because of FB then of course on Thursday. I looked at Lisa's FB and many of the posts must have been removed but what was remaining was an indicator of how bad it was.

Hosts are not immune to hurtful personal comments. If their behavior annoys you shop for the product online. Change the channel. But don't come here thinking that because you spend money with the Q that you have the right to post whatever cruel and demeaning thing about the hosts that comes into your head.

I completely agree with you. I just responded to a poster in another forum complaining about Lisa where she is telling her to grow up.

It seems some have no boundaries when it comes to denigrating a complete stranger.

They've probably been blocked from her facebook page now so they have to come here and post their trash.
