That doesn't SELL...when the clock is ticking you need to jump on what you're selling.

I turn the channel....................

 


Yeah, that is true he does tell that same story, however, there are times when vendor is trying to give important info and host will cut them off.  For example, awhile back Dana from Perricone was on with a new skin serum and I was interested as it was new and she was trying to talk about what was in it, etc,  She'd just started talking about it when Jane interrupted her to give the usual  "gotta interrupt you to say 300 (or whatever number) just flew outta here".  Dana was not able to finish what she was trying to say about the product.  I didn't order it.


@KKJ - The hosts constantly interrupting the vendors with 'sold counts', etc., is the fault of the producers. They're telling the hosts to say these things to hopefully sway viewers to make the purchase as well.

 

As you mentioned, these comments made are interrupting the vendors, usually, while they are trying to give important information about the product. Unfortunately, we never hear what point(s) the vendor would have made.

 

I believe that a lot of the hosting issues have to do with the producers - either they're not paying attention to what the hosts are saying/doing, or the constant interruptions with the 'number of items sold'. 


Yes, am sure that's true with producers in their ear during the shows.  In that case, producers, are you listening?  Or reading these complaints from us viewers?
