Yes, boffy
I reckon that QVC has elements of evil-ness that we can't even begin to comprehend. "Special" prices that run out at the end of the hour/day etc combined with the fatal "it's limited stock" mean that we buy stuff that we don't need. It always makes me cringe when t-callers talk about no longer needing to shop anywhere else. QVC does not sell light bulbs, vegetables, groceries, milk - stuff you NEED - they sell stuff you WANT: bling, cameras, clothes etc. OK, maybe not clothes (but I have some beaut. Dreamkeeper things...)
I have one of those Lori Greiner cabinets full of Honora pearls, gold, silver, gems, you name it. And...believe it or not, I've fallen for diamonique, which is shiny, sparkly and wonderful in a shiny sparkly way.
Also, it's VERY easy to buy. If you've bought something before then getting on the phone and securing your order takes one minute. That's scary.
They are also REALLY skilled at selling (yes, I work in sales so I should know) and mostly focus on building a "picture" of how you would need something or use it in an aspirational way. Ok, some are better than others and some presenters I simply don't like very much (Daniel Green made my skin crawl and Jill Franks thinks she's a LOT funnier than she actually is. No, Jill, your stories are not "hysterical") but I know that I couldn't present on QVC, even with a shed load of training. Imagine all the bitching on here about me!!!!
I'm not against this. It's just that salespeople like me (long story) like to be sold to really really well. And they do...
