yes it could of course, but taken in conjunction with presenters disappearing it could mean that things aren't so good on the sales front - time will tell I suppose.
Where are Debbie Greenwood & Julian Ballantyne?

Maybe some of the presenters aren't performing as well as others and they are letting the under-performers go? If presenter A sells a lot more on a similar show in a similar slot than presenter B then QVC would probably prefer to use presenter A. However if QVC continue with their current communication policy I suppose we will never know what's going on!
I concur. I work in tourism and, as with the Liverpool call centre, more people were using the internet to get the necessary information. It's the nature of the beast, unfortunately.
My best friends Sister should be full time, but she's lucky to get 2 days now. Its not just her its everyone. Before she goes into work she has to call QVC to see if they need her. She has worked there for 5 yes. My B/F Sis got an application form for her nephew, he sat the test and passed it. He then had an interview which he passed and he got a letter off QVC to say he was successful and he would receive a start date. He gave notice on his job as soon as he got this letter and didn't hear anything off QVC for 3wks so he contacted QVC to ask for a start date, only to be told there was no work. He was no the only person this happened to.He had left his job and had to go on the dole. He was gutted but he has got any other job now with another Company which he likes. My B/F's Sister said they are asking people to go home as there is no work.

Of course all the Tap The App and the crappy website means having to pay less wages to call centre staff. More profit for QVC.
In the US QVC actually have staff in CS working from home!!!! They sit at their laptops are connected to the QVC central hub and answer queries etc and place orders for customers.

Yes, it's like the self-service tills at supermarkets, I try to avoid those as I feel by using the normal tills I'm helping keep someone in a job. However I generally order from QVC using the website, though my purchases are so few and far between these days it won't make a scrap of difference to them.

of course I suppose we pay for the "free" phone calls in the price somewhere, maybe as they're not that busy now they'll be reducing the P & P accordingly to help us out - ha-bloody-ha..!
QVC UK do this too, I remember seeing something on this somewhere.
No she said she didn't mean to get people worried on ST.

Who else is misisng?
What has happened to Glen Campbell?? I haven't seen him for yonks. Tell you who else hasn't been around for a while, Sharon the model. Have they locked them in a QVC cupboard with Julian, Debbie and the slim girl who arrived along with Carmel. Hey, wait a mo? Is she in there too? And why oh why haven't they stuffed Jill Franks in the cupboard as well; she wouldn't take up much room and she, unlike the others, woudln't be missed!

Interesting. No real opinion on DG either way but she would not be normal if she was not loving all the attention this has generated. Chinese whispers have certainly increased her profile which I think may have been pretty much MOR prior to this.

One person who I haven't seen lately is Alison Young. OK I always avoid the shows she is in. Maybe she has drowned in Factor 500 somewhere.

If you read today's newspaper article you will see she is very successful for the business.
