Sara Griifiths on Skechers

[Fuzzyfelt]

Just watching the Skechers show with Sara Griffiths. She is so rude, talking over the Skechers rep Richard and on her ipad when he's talking to her. I wish we could have 1 show without them talking about bl**dy Twitter!!!!!!!

well she doesn't need to listen to him, she knows EVERYTHING about the product.....

Their behaviour does annoy me. When Chloe is presenting she always seems far more interested in playing with her tablet and ordering things than she does with the guest or the products. It is rude and unprofessional, and just as bad as the others who insist on reading out their ego stroking messages.

Sara Griffiths was one a patient in casualty, on her notes it should have said DNR :mysmilie_17:

Sara Griffiths is quite attractive looking, (and the hair is looking quite nice and non-brillo-paddy) but it's completely ruined by her obnoxious presenting style.

I wouldn't dream of buying anything while she is presenting... so that's both her and Debbie on my "do not buy" list when they present a show. I won't even do online when they are on now. I'll take my chance after their hours (or before their hours) rather than give them any credit for my purchase.

I've been viewing the earlier hour with Anne Dawson. She is conversing with the guest, asking questions, allowing him to explain. I know Anne isn't everyone's cup of tea, but she is one of the better presenters in my book. No bliddy i-pad and endless tweets. :mysmilie_59:

Although I'm not a massive fan of SG, I feel a bit sorry for her atm. At least she seems to be dealing with customers questions and getting answers straight from the reps mouth. At least she seems genuinely interested in the products not herself unlike some others ( Yes JF I'm talking to you!)

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

Couldn't listen to SG but it was on in the background.

What did she say to someone called Lisa which resulted in someone pulling her up for being rude?

She was anything but pleased at the time but must have thought better later as she "hoped she didn't offend Lisa" at the very end of the show.

I had it on in the background and heard her read out a tweet about her being rude because she was on her iPad when the guest was speaking. She then read out another later on where that tweeter said that she gave a patronising reply to the previous one.

She said she was on her iPad looking at the tweets incase someone had a question to ask. Well, that's a first as she is often usually ordering things on it, while on air. To be honest, because I think the 'on air iPad' was the most ridiculous innovation introduced by QVC, I reckon that Lisa deserves a hearty pat on the back for saying what she did. (And I suppose SG was a 'sport' for reading out a critical tweet but I hope it makes her re-think her apparent obsession with her iPad ............. and ditto, Ms. Flint.)

I've never been a fan of SG but recently I find I just cannot watch her even if I am interested in the product.

She comes across as very superior and uses long and inappropriate words eg yesterday she described a Lola Rose necklace as having a 'kinetic' appeal and going back a few weeks she was on Honora with Ralph and described a pair of earrings with such flowery language and long words that Ralph said something along the lines of 'I don't feel worthy to present with you.'

Now I have a good vocabulary and I do understand her but I feel like I want to say to her 'you are just a TV salesperson but you sound like you are describing fine art or wonderful countryside!' If anything it comes across as insincere because she is trying so hard.

Maybe she should join the ranks of the QVC presenter authors to scratch her literary itch! Maybe not......

Chloe annoys me far more. On Tuesdays Lunchtime Show she was on with Clare 'mummy' Sutton and she was constantly on her ****** tablet .She would not leave it alone. It was so rude as she was just ignoring everything the Lunchtime guests were talking about. I don't like it.

I take issue with your post, on two counts. Firstly, none of any shopping channels' on air staff, are sales people, rather presenters. Secondly, there is an inference that those of us in sales, ought to remember we are "just" a salesperson. Some of us are intelligent,university educated individuals - at work, there are many of us with at least one degree - and I, certainly, have a wide vocabulary, and would not insult my customers by assessing their intelligence, and 'dumb down', in the assumption they may not understand what I am talking about. Please don't take offence; this is my opinion.
I actually find it appealing, that they do have something in between their ears. This is one reason I admired Anna Cookson.:thinking:

I agree with everything you say except for one point, you say that they are not sales people. They are there to sell you a product and in my eyes it makes them sales people qualified or not.

LISA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

I didn't hear all of it but it was.very obvious that she was oblivious to her rudeness and annoyed that anyone has the nerve to pull her, the wonderful SG, up on her manners.

The apology was very begrudged.

Sara Griffiths's mouth uses plenty of kinetic energy with its endless flapping like the mouth of a ventriloquist's dummy. Her persona is so far removed from when she first appeared on QVC I can only assume it has something to do with a change in QVC culture. These days more than ever we are seeing increasing numbers of "hero products" and a more shouty, aggressive sales pitch.

 

[boffy]

sara g truly the very worse presenter on qvc. i find her irritating and irritated. she comes across as far too superior for an out of work would be acctress. she actually talks on qvc as if she is auditioning for the royal shakespere companies next play.

 

[Hippygirl]

Sorry - I did not mean to offend anyone. I was not trying to say that salespeople are not well educated merely that the language she uses is inappropriate for the context. I apologise to anyone who was offended.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

HG I know we often say "only a sales woman" which I can understand sounds as if we are disrespecting sales people but unfortunately that is exactly what Q presenters are but they are in denial and think they are Helen Mirren. All this is not helped by the fact that at.sometime in their lives they have been "on the stage" or in front of a TV camera, even if it was 30 years ago.

In fact they do a great disservice to sales people who often (not always) know their products

We all have had awful experiences with pushy salespeople which colours our perception of Q sales people when someone like Del Boy is in full sail.

So true!! I agree with all things you have said. The presenters are Salespeople, they are there solely to sell the products for QVC. Yes they do seem to think they are 'celebrities' rather than glorified store assistants. They need to get over themselves.

 

[yorkrose26]

The problem is Sarah and to certain extent Chloe seem to know everything about everything and feel nothing in talking over their guests if they feel they have better knowledge than the guest presenter, who is representing the company being shown. I think this may come from perhaps not coming from pure presenting backgrounds. I mean Chloe was PE teacher!

I agree 100% I don't really care whether you have been on broadway or had a university education, if you are trying to sell me some thing or serving me in a shop...then at that time you are a sales person..I did like Sarah her first time at QVC, but she is beginning to grate on me just lately.
