Hosts - It comes down to manners

I find it very interesting that a few of the hosts are real pros when they co-host.  Unfortunately the majority of them either talk over or interrupt the main host presenting the item.  Long running issue that QVC doesn't care to address.

Re: Hosts - It comes down to manners

@Bonkers1   I give them the benefit of the doubt, annoying as it is.  You never know what some producer is yelling in their ears for them to do and say.  Hard to believe so many basically otherwise nice people could be so rude without provocation.

I have a feeling that their salaries are commensurate with their sales figures. The more they sell the more money they make maybe in bonuses. That's why some of them get hyper and talk non stop hoping to whip up the urgency to buy now before they are gone!

It's very obvious, it's to each host's advantage to sell as much as possible while she's on the air the way they constantly push to hurry and buy, check out etc.

SMQ was unwatchable.  One of the hosts was very hyper.  Too much caffeine or something.

Just stop watching if you don't like how the hosts do their jobs.  Why watch programming that irritates you?  You know QVC isn't going morph into whatever it is you want.

There are a handful of hosts watch. Mary Beth, Jayne Brown, Carolyn & Alberti. The only new ones are Rosina & Monetha.  The rest can go.

The over-talk is the reason I rarely tune in.

I loved Harry Slatkin's parting remark at the end of his segment.  Ever the gentleman, he asked, "Can you two please get some energy?"

QVC themselves have said that the hosts do NOT work on commission---however, sales do impact salary raises and bonuses....
