I've wondered what it would be like to actually know what the hosts are told to do on air and how they are fully rated in their performance (besides sales of course). The hosts often say they have staff meetings nearly every day. How many of those meetings entail corporate mantras like -- "That 2-hour show is your sitcom, be the STAR!" "This is your Emmy performance, make them remember you!" "Stand Out - Be Unique even if it's Jarring!" "They've GOT to talk about you on social media, good or bad -- just Keep Trending!" I'm sure I'm exaggerating, but I cannot help but think that some of the hosts have been given actual direction to keep up their wild, over-the-top pitch, or edgy [subjective] fashion sense, based on the direction they've actually been given.

You know they always say that you don't want to see how the sausage is made, well I'm sure
that the meetings would ruin that " QVC Family " nonsense. LOL.

I am rather certain these meetings are more to introduce new products and let the vendors educate the on air staff about what they are selling. After all, they have to get out there and discuss something for a pretty long period of time so they need to be prepared.

It would be interesting. I was an Executive Assistant for more than 30 years so I would like to know how difficult it is to do all the scheduling for the vendors and on air coverage. Sometimes I wonder if the hosts get extra for working with difficult vendors.

I'm sure Corporate has told them to use the phrase: 'this is your opportunity to get this' blah blah. Jacquie Gonz says that constantly as well as others. It started about a year ago - this is your opporunity............(to turn the channel) LOL

I've always wondered if they see the product line-up and say "OMG! I've got to sell that? Or "no, not another one of those!" ......or "oh no...you mean I've got to wear THAT TSV! I'll look terrible in it!" LOL
