I said it before they left, neither have the talent they thought they had. 


@febe1.  They all have certain talents or qvc wouldn't have hired them but may lack business acumen and have unrealistic expectation.

Re: Kerstin Linquist is returning to the Q....

Think its important to remember that she is coming back as a Vendor Rep NOT as a QVC host.  That's a lot different.  A vendor rep is a part-time job, hired by the vendor not QVC.  She knows how to sell and any vendor would be crazy not to hire her.  She knows how QVC and selling on TV works so it's a win-win for both.  I'm still not going to watch her but think it's important to remember she is a vendor rep not a host.

Re: Kerstin Linquist is returning to the Q....

I'm sorry but once they make a BIG deal about leaving QVC and have BIG farewell shows with a BIG send-off, they should stay away.  I don't care to see a host that previously said she was leaving only to come right back.  That's nonsense.  I won't be watching their shows. Make up your mind. Either you want to work for QVC or you don't.

@JudyL I imagine they leave because the host schedule, from what I understand, can be rather brutal especially if you have a family.  So maybe Kirsten left because being a product rep allows her more time for family and to do the other things she wants to

 

I understand that could very well be the reason. I just don't understand the big send off only to return a few months later.

 

When she announced on instagram this morning she seemed almost giddy.


@bellaartiste -- I think @JudyL is right.  I believe they both left to start a new work experience.  I don't think at the time they were planning on returning.  Their new experience just didn't work out well or not taking up much of their time, so they became a product rep.

She thought she could be a health coach based on a certificate from an online course. She thought she was worth $350.00 an hour LOL. Delusional comes to mind and so much for the schtick that she was leaving to be with her kids. 🙄🤣

she may have been offered better, shorter hours along with good $.  We all assume tooooooo much, esp. when someone wants to discredit someone.

LOL!  With those two, this was an EASY guess. 

 

It was very obvious that both had been planning their exit (and re-entry on their terms) for quite a while.  I, personally, don't care, as I never bought anything from either of them.

Some people don't realize how much work it is to start their own business.  They think that hanging a sign on a door is all they need to do to get started.  I worked for a CPA many years ago and she thought that all she needed to start a business was to rent an office space and clients would be pouring in to give her their accounting business.  She soon found out that it took money, time and a lot of effort on her part to build a clientele.

It seems career wise they can't move beyond QVC.  They must have reached their potential.  As far as Kerstin I will not be watching.
