Roger…I know you…you just like to watch Lisa on QVC and you studying presentations is just an excuse…yeah right…I know what you are studying…

Ron, you never know what you can learn watching QVC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BiDtiY21W8
Watch this video closely and you will see what the meaning “the show most go on” means. As I said there are lessons to learn all aorund you if you make an effort to look.

Has anyone given this a try?

Roger you are a threat to God himself,
just keep saying to yourself- this insight i have, is the holy spirit!! the holy spirit!!
otherwise the other fellow (la diablo) will play on your mind

So what is it we learn from this video…maybe that the guy who fell off the ladder has a lot of witnesses for his injury lawsuit??? Sorry I guess i’m missing the point.

Karl, Refer to the original forum description – that little video was just to show how the show goes on. Don’t tell me – the Grinch is sneaking back in…..

I have never watched QVC or HSN (that’s right, NEVER!) but I will try Roger’s challenge this weekend and compare it to the sell sheet I have on the drawing board.

Julie,just had a small sarcastic attack is all, I have to stay in practice so i don’t loose my edge! Can’t watch these shows,I don’t own a TV.

Besides,I’ve been hanging around Ralf and William too much!

Hey!.. I Resemble that remark.

Julie, you are right the clip was just for show. The challenge is:
Watch QVC or HSN and really look at how they try and pull the viewer into the benefits of the product verbally and visually. Look at the difference how they pitch the product when they have just a few minutes to spend on the product versus when they have 20 minutes. You can also use this as an aid to writing your own sell sheet. Watch a product that comes up record it with the sound down and think what you would say to get a persons attention if you had to pitch that product. Write them down. Then replay the segment and see if you used any of the points they did and did they miss some points you saw they didn’t. I challenge everyone here to do it and see how well you make out. Post your experience here.

Yes, Cool experiment Roger. Plus I took it a step further with the volume back on and hypothetically substituted my product in place of theirs and imagined what I’d say for each line of dialogue if I had the same format to fill. Ps. it worked out wonderfully in my mind,.. (I made millions of imaginary dollars!) Thanx. Hahaha! :)

Rodger, When i try to scroll down on your website the type smears out…I don’t seem to have problems with other sites,could it be a problem on your end?

Thanks for the info. I will check it out.

Thanks for the info on QVC HSN. I tried what you said, and yes, it turned shows that I never enjoyed watching into a bearable,educational experience !

I do not read the bible or go to church but one passage i will always remember, the apostles were sent to foreign lands to preach the gospels,
and bawking at such a fearful task, god said (or someone)
“I will send you the holy spirit to help you”

it took me 40 years to realise this was the most important statement in the bible,
why? because whoever you meet, and who ever tries to hurt you, is not your enemy, but your loved one gone insane.

and that nuetralised any horrific situation the apostles may have encountered in those barbaric times,
apart from all the inventions, is that bible story true or what?

it’s that photo of Roger sent me off into another world again, sorry

Roger, I think you are one of those apostles re-incarnated

I wanted to bring this challenge back to the front because I am getting a lot of questions on the value of watching T.V. product shows like QVC and HSN to get ideas. Try the exercise above and see what happens. Post your results here.

http://www.rogerbrown.net

Roger,

I don’t DO TV in the normal sense, no cable, no satellite, no antenna, just the occasional vhs tape or dvd. I do have internet and can stream a few things, like hulu, news channels and there is always youtube and metacafe. Do you have any links that might provide the same exersize?

How long will you be stationed in Antarticia? LOL Try this http://www.watchlivechannels.com/qvc/

Also..you can just go right to QVC website and see the show streamed live or watch video clips of many of their products:

How many people have actullay tried the excercise to see if their pitch was even close to the person on the TV?
