Q Talk

[kurious]

After many years, they are really elevating Rachel's hours on air.  Giving her many beauty hours as well.  Seems we see Sandra Bennett less than we used to.  The pressure on the hosts to perform must be so high and intense.

Sandra has 3 hours today.

2 hours on Tuesday 

3 hours on Friday

4 hours on Saturday 

3 hours next Sunday.

This schedule includes several TSV introductions.

This seems like her typical and usual schedule. 

And she fills in a lot for vacationing or otherwise absent coworkers.

I don't watch much anymore, but they do appear to be pushing Ms. Boesing. Maybe she's paid her dues and has proved to be a success. Maybe there are other reasons or maybe it's a combination of factors. Who knows. Sandra is also seasoned and does an adequate job, though I can't say I've ever much enjoyed her presentation style.

My thought was that QVC is testing their hosts in different genres to get them out of their comfort zone.  That way, they can really measure how good they are, and not just proficient in one area.

Rachel seems to have a lock on the Gourmet Holiday food shows with Alberti.  Perhaps they want to see if she can be a high seller of fashion and beauty.  

I saw Amy hosting a full hour of the Cubii Elliptical. exercise equipment.  I have never seen Amy sell exercise equipment before.  Just a few weeks ago, Amy hosted a Gourmet Holiday show with Rachel, and I had to do a double-take.  Amy -- a food show??

Wasn't it this week on QVC 2 that Shawn hosted an hour Gourmet Holiday show?  Shawn -- Gourmet Holiday.  Then she hosted a Tracfone hour. 

It just looks to me that the hosts can no longer rely on big numbers in their normal, static show anymore.  They have to  step out of the box.

To me Rachel seems like a fish out of water doing cosmetic shows but as @Caaareful Shopper  says there may be a method to the madness.  I have a feeling make-up is not of great importance to her whereas she loves pretty clothes.

Unless you work for QVC , all of the comments are pure guesses and opinions about a business you do not run.

@LizzieInSRQ   Yes, of course they are all guesses.  I don't think anyone gave an emphatic management reason for why & how QVC schedules their hosts.  It's a discussion of our personal observations.

The hours a host works are not speculation. 

They're verifiable facts.

(And we have one more poster police patroler running the forums.)

Im not a poster police, just saying some things (not the factual hours) are being said asvif they are facts. 

[Johnnyeager]

Posters opinions say "seems"..."looks to me"....."appears"

Those are clearly opinions, nothing was presented as fact.

Posters are making personal observations with no rules seemingly broken.
