Stop talking!

Jane is a nice lady, but she needs to stop talking. Let people get a word in!

Jane has a personal story that involves every family member for every product she hawks.

Yep, she sure does! But just like Susan Graver, nobody is brave enough at QVC to tell them! Just have to switch channels when they are on.

I enjoy listening to Jane. I enjoy seeing her face light up when she talks about any member of her family, whether it be her daughters, Mom or Dad, sisters, etc. In all the years I've watched her, she's never been anything less than gracious, fun, and full of excitement and happiness.

Here's my 2 cents...I am just amazed at how the hosts can come up with a story for every product, but they do, and that's why people buy. Once they paint the right picture that you can relate to, the hook is set, and they reel you in. That's why they talk and talk, because one story does not fit all. Depending on the pitch and cadence, I can handle some voices longer than others. Squeals and shrill laughter are just as bad on my ears as speed talking and monotones. Carolyn Gracie is my favorite.

I also love Carolyn, She gives complete details on each item. Always acts properly. A good lady

I really like Jane and will watch her any time she's hosting. There are many hosts who are impossible to watch for many reasons. I'll take Jane any day!

My goal in life is to be like that for two whole days in a row. . .

Yes, she's very good at talking down to the audience and callers - in complete sentences.

EDIT: My bad. It's JILL that's invariably condescending, not Jane. I think of them as one person because I don't enjoy watching either of them, but for different reasons. No harm in Jane, she's just not my cup of tea.

Jane has been at the Q for 30 years she is professional and dresses proper at all times her tone is upbeat and she is enthusiastic but always gives complete info about the product Jane is courteous to the vendors and is a gracious person she does not push her faith on us or order things for herself while on air nor does she adore herself in the monitor I enjoy watching Jane present items on the Q

Whenever a host goes into story-telling mode, I use the remote. If you want to sell me something, tell me all about the product and when you're finished with all the details, move on to the next item.

I find it irritating when they talk about family and yet cannot inform me of all the important information to help me make a purchase. It says to me, I don't want your business.

And IMO Jane is impossible to watch - or rather to listen to - for the very reason stated above. She doesn't let anyone else get a word in edgewise. And I don't give a darn about her family members. So her presentations are rude and boring to me.

Hosts telling me stories about their personal life - family, religion, home, holidays etc - will never convince me to buy an item! All this personal information does not make me like the hosts any more or any less. I just don't want to hear it! I only want to hear details about the product being sold!!!

Jane forgets she's a sales person, not our friend. She would do better if she just did her job. Here stories are boring, and don't help to sell products. Information on the item is why we are listening! In that area, she fails!
