that some of the new hosts are constantly using the phrase "this is a great opportunity." I am so sick of hearing it. They use it constantly in one program and it sounds so shopping network. I wish they would be more natural instead of being so rehearsed.

@Katcat1. Is it possible you are watching too much QVC?

Well, it IS a shopping channel. It’s 24/7 infomercials, basically. Why watch?

That's one of David Venable's pet phrases.
"I'm so pleased to bring you this opportunity..."
Or
"This is a great opportunity to ..."
You want to learn how to sell, you watch tapes of David selling. He's been pitching the same pitch for years because it works.

have you also noticed they all have a "story"? A color story, a value story, a savings story......etc, etc, etc.

This is something I expect to hear from sales people whether I'm buying a car, a house, clothing, jewelry and almost anything. To me, if I hear the words "great opportunity" I'm thinking sale, saving money, etcetera. That is how they get your attention and getting your attention they do! What would you have them say? For me, I think this is mild compared to some of the things I hear.
