I Like Dimitri But....

I don't care for the hard sell he does. He and the hosts constantly say you should buy 3 and 4 of everything. I don't like someone spending my money I can't afford to buy multiplies of everything. I watch a lot of QVC and HSN and I can't recall any other vendor who does this.

@Jordan2 Yes,he really is like a used car salesman in his sales tactics.....rather tacky! I am starting not to believe him any more the more I listen to his repeating the same lines over and over... I think he has become greedy.

I think Dimitri has always been a bit hard sell. I've heard hosts on HSN and QVC suggest buying more than one of something but not 5 or 6 the way Dimitri often does. One night when I was watching late he suggested getting 9 or 10 of some TTV. I think evine put a stop to that immediately as the next morning he was back to 5...lol.

He is on waaaaay too much. And the more he talks or peddles his lotions, the less interested I become in them.

That channel turns over far too much time to him.

He has too many variations on a skin cream. And too many monotonous products can equal: "How many ways can I sell you essentially the same item??".

And too much non-stop, never-take-a breath sales talk can cause a vendor to quickly morph into a carnival side show barker.

I can't flip that channel fast enough everytime I see him on.

I find Dimitri to be very high energy and I believe that is because he loves his products and believes in them (as do I since I have been using them for over 2 years with terrific results)

as far as suggesting how many to buy, we are all adults here and know our budgets and limits so his suggestions of buying 5 or 6 fall on deaf ears if I couldn't afford to buy that many...if you are easily sold on suggestion alone, perhaps watching home shopping is not for you..just saying

He learned to sell from the queen of cosmetics (Adrienne Arpel) and his style is similar...loud, fast and usually full of information... I see he is not everyones cup of tea...we all have those vendors ( can't take that Philosphy lady with her never ending bubble bowl and I could never take Mally- another loud over excited host...but YMMV)

I'll always say if all the beauty products that the vendors hard sell on all the shopping channels would actually work. Some of us would get carded going into a bar or if I wanted to join a senior citizen center I guess I would be carded to make sure I'm old enough.

We would look so young. Some of the vendors look like they had work done. So many of us will always look for the fountain of youth and the sales pitches out there will convince you they got the formula . Lift your chin,make your skin flawless, soften those lines and deep wrinkles,puffy eyes disappear,look ten years younger . Well when I don't have my glasses on I see no sags and bags and wrinkles in the mirror. That's my magic formula!

I think it is because it is the best price.

Exactly like Adrienne. Clowns who have had major work done.

Threads like this just make me SMH. For not liking his tactics, people surely seem to spend a lot of time watching him to be able to tell if he's had work, or know what he said from some appearance somewhere in history. If you don't want to use his products, that's fine, move along. Why watch someone you find fake, annoying, or offensive? You are in control...change the channel.

At least his prices aren't exorbitant and he offers some serious good deals. Unlike hosts that push you during the holidays (which seems to be year round here) to buy your kids school bus driver a Vitamix and the lady who washes your hair at the salon a Dooney and stock your gift closet with Philosophy, IT Cosmetics, Malley, a few Dennis Basso's fur coats, Logo and Quacker, some Luminara candles....oh and not to forget a Bose or an iPad air for anyone who may show up unexpectedly!

Sorry I don't know how I could've forgotten the latest SwagWay, WEN and Susan Graver. And please don't forget to get everyone on your list a MyPillow!

WAIT! I totally forgot about the outdoor smoker and LeCrueset cookware for my neighbors!
