Q Talk

Dennis Basso was on with Kirsten and they wee selling a short duster. He stated that he doesn’t like the really long ones, they drag you down, and Kirsten chimed in it can look like a bathrobe. Hmm, aren’t they always selling long dusters on this channel? Why trash something that you were just hawking to save your life a hot minute ago (Barefoot dreams, Lisa Rinna)? Not very professional.

They think we're stupid.  Very insulting to their customers.

Uhhh...if it's not long, it can't really be called a "duster," right? Weird.

I think the better sales pitch is to say that different lengths serve different purposes and extoll the virtues of the one they are presenting. There’s no need to disparage other styles to sell yours. I would respect that approach much more than tearing something else down.

They are counting on us having zero memory.

If a QVC Vendor demeans a competitor it's a real turn off with me.....

I remember one time the Luminara Vendor directed a dig at Candle Impressions that happened to be the item on right before her. The Candle Impressions Vendor extolls the pluses of her product and always takes the high road, a classy lady. I never could stand that Luminara Vendor after that because of that snarky comment...

I do not happen to enjoy Dennis Basso's clothes anymore. I have not for some time.  I think it is wrong of him to put down the longer dusters as there are several other vendors who do them well. Shame on Kirsten!  She sells for those other vendors.

I've never purchased a single thing from Basso, simply because he is a furrier.

Yes, I’ve watched hosts speak praises of “product a”, then on the same day, different show, speak praises of a similar product and speak about how much better it is than “product a” (without saying the exact product name, of course). No, we are not stupid.

We all should know by now, the hosts are only loyal to the product they are selling at the time.
