I think Will Gowing is one of the best Presenters always very informative.

I agree even though I hardly watch Q ,I follow him on Instagram and he genuinely seems a lovely person.

 

[Tinyfeet]

I agree, very easy to listen to and he asks all the right questions

 

[Battiola73]

And he always looks neat and tidy.

The Shard has less foundation than this bloke.

 

[Bonaventure]

I like him - and his foundation.

Will Gowing's voice is high pitched and he whines. I usually switch him off quickly. I really dislike him giving advice on women's clothes. I doubt he has any expertise in this area. He spouts out phrases he's picked up randomly. Get him off!!

He started on QVC as AY's sidekick as she refused to use the IPad* thing when people messaging in with questions.

*She kept insisting she did not know how.

I watched a clip online of a product I was interested in and wondered if AY has been coaching him in the art of presenting. His voice was screechy and he kept interrupting the BA before she could finish her sentence.

I think he seems more excitable than he used to and his voice seems louder. Long gone are the dulcet tones that he used to have. He probably has had extra coaching from some of the “louder” presenters which I think is a shame.

At least they could have some knowledge of the items they are selling
Many of them come on air ill prepared and leave the details up to the BAs who sometimes don't have much of a clue either. There are exceptions, of course.

It looks like Will has seen this thread. He’s my favourite of the presenters and has a good sense of humour.

I agree with both. My favourite presenter. I keep forgetting about him until I catch him presenting an hour I've recorded. As soon as I see it's him I can stop fast-forwarding. No headache from screeching, no irritation as he's not rude to BAs and, as mentioned, he asks the right questions.

And I've noticed that he likes the well worn (and disliked) "loving it" phrase too. Just waiting for him to spout about all the loads of genders. I think he was better before he became a full time presenter, he was more softly spoken and likeable.

 

[Koala]

I like him anyway.

I think the back-of-shop coaching staff must keep telling them to "love it" etc and to screech up a notch. It's affected some of the previously milder presenters like Jilly Halliday, and not in a good way, IMHO, very misguided and so out of touch with what approach actually does sell stuff. Go in too loud and hard and viewers will switch off eventually. I certainly don't like to be told what to do and buy. I make up my own mind.

Good if doesn't see these comments. But he did.

 

[Battiola73]

Having known a Sales coach, the whole ethos now seems to be sell at any cost. The word cheap is taboo, less expensive is acceptable.

I've got L'Occitane on at the moment with Dale and haven't heard him once say 'you're loving this' (yet, half an hour in) although I think he's also said it before in other shows, so I wonder why some constantly do and some don't. It's very refreshing although Dale isn't a favourite.
