Re: Refresher Course on How To Present Items

@Love2QIM , I agree with everything you wrote. Today I read a post on the We #loveQVC. The person is blind, and has to rely on the hosts description of items. She said counted on them and bought gifts, did her shopping because certain hosts like Carolyn was someone she could count on her opinions and ideas.

Really? What the superviser says? Who is buying the product? Listen to the buyer to-be if they want to sell.

Should-a, would-a, could-a. I agree but that's not how employment works. The reality is that hosts have to do what they're told or get demoted/fired. This is true for everyone who is employed.

If the presentation directions are coming from the top...maybe a refresher course for the directors should be offered. Buying off a TV presentaton is not the same as buying in an acutal store.
Apparently they do not know - or care - what the viewers/customers need to hear so that they will spend their money!

@just wonder One day my little granddaughter was visiting and QVC was on. When one of the hosts was listing all the places you could wear an outfit...she said. ...
"How about the recycling center".... It just struck me as funny at the time.

@Mombo1

Thanks for the laugh!

What if they ARE listening to the buyer to be?

I was in my doctor's office the other day....a young woman opposite me in the waiting room had on jeans that were ripped, from left to right as with a knife, from the crotch to the knees, with long strings of threads hanging off them...

She looked like she dressed in a five minute stop in the bathroom of a bus station.

Top it off, she looked like she was squeezed into these unattractive pants.,,,three sizes too small for her ample body.

She was there with her mother ( Ob/gyn) office, and she was similarly slop-dop dressed.

So maybe they DO listen to the buyer of the items.

From the looks of half tucks, torn ripped jeans, jeans with ridiculous patches on them...that's what sells today.

The scarecrow in my neighbor's cornfield dresses better.

In my opinion, it's all about being noticed.....good or bad. Look at those covered in tatoos, piercings, that's what they want from their peers. We don't matter. They think it's cool. We're the odd ones in their eyes.

That is the thing, is anyone actually supervising them, or critiquing them when they are on air, because as a long time viewer, I have seen the level of professionalism of the hosts, vastly deteriorate over the years.

Please share what the fabric is and also, do not just say item comes in petite, regular and tall, but do not tell the inseam! It's hard to believe these salespersons do not give imperative information in order to purchase. And all the while, they have time to ask silly questions and talk nonsense.

I think their "refresher" course should be to sit in a room watching live presentations such as Tuesday nights, Saturday mornings at 10am, Lori Goldstein at 5 on Mondays, Isaac Mizarhi with Jen Coffey on Friday, Pat and Susan Graver on Thursdays, etc. You get the drift. They'd learn a lot why the Q has so many dissatisfied customers. It's why I stopped watching.
