Passion vs Phony

Do you have a vendor that really seems passionate about their product? Mine is David Markstein.

Oh really, you think the IHKWIP guy seems phoney?

Funny how everyone sees things so differently because from

him (and his partner) I get genuine passion, appreciation and kindness. They both just seem so humble and nice (for lack of a better word) and passionate about their brand.

They would be one of my picks for being most passionate....not in an excitable way like Susan (and I agree she seems passionate as well) but in a humble and quiet way.

I don't think there's any vendor more passionate than Susan Graver. She can be annoying but nobody sincerely believes in her product or works as hard as Susan.

Amal Musallam....informative & enjoyable to watch. I have a few vendors I don't like but that's on me so I'll keep my shortcomings to myself & not share who - why.

I think they are all passionate about making money.

I love my IHKWIP bag but the guy calling everyone friend is too much. It just feels very "advertising firm" created. Same with Beekman and "neighbors." At least I think that's what they say on the Beekman shows. But I do love the Beekman body cream. Had a weird rough spot on my arm and elbow and it cleared it up overnight.

The reps who actually own their businesses are usually pretty passionate about their product.The Landies Candies owner is an example. Although, the Rastelli's give me the heebie jeebies. Other than that, I think the Le Creuset rep seems like he uses the cookware on a regular basis, and Tina Verrelli seems to use the KA products as well. I guess I could be wrong. I'm not great at reading people

I agree that those who started and created the business come across as the most passionate. I include the IHKWIP founders in that group. I detect enormous sincerity and passion. The same with Amy from Lug.

Susan, as noted, is relentlessly passionate, as are many of those who own their startup food businesses and have the good fortune to bring their dream to QVC.

However, most presenters are guns for hire and can feign enthusiasm for absolutely anything, as needed and required.
