Every host stresses and repeats and repeats ..... this is your OPPORTUNITY to buy this - or that. So obvious this was the instructions at a recent sales meeting to the sales force.. We wants to ,'share this with you' is another classic.

Enough already!

Maybe you got up on the wrong side of the bed today. If it bothers you so much don't watch!

I always feel like I was in the sales meeting and on the dry erase wall is "opportunity " in bright red. I am also eating some stale squirrel brand snacks Mary is passing out.

This is your OPPORTUNITY to turn the channel! Read any article about QVC and it will mention how closely they watch what words work to drive sales. The word CHIC must be a million dollar sales driver!

TV shopping can be annoying, no doubt about it.

Having worked in sales while in college, I know there's more than one way to skin a cat. If I were VP of Sales and Marketing, I'd plan on having my sales folks enrolled in a "How to Pitch it" course - bring them up to date with the newest and best ways to get into the mind of the potential purchaser through better vebalization and presenation. Just a thought.

I always find it funny when a host says:

"CONGRATULATIONS if you got that before it sold out".

Like you won something LOL!

I think QVC spends a lot of money keeping the hosts trained on latest sales techniques. It's their bread and butter.

At least it's a break from the 'another twenty dollar bill alert' we heard for ages

Their sales techniques have NEVER worked on me. I don't believe ANYTHING they say.

"Oh my stars and garters" must really amp up the sales for one particular host because she says it all the time

My philosophy is: The harder you have to work to sell me something, the less worthwhile it is for me to buy it. When l get the "hard sell" treatment, whether I'm buying clothes, electronics, a car, insurance, investments-- whatever-- l run the other way. If l need to be "talked into" something, l probably shouldn't be buying it in the first place.
