Popular Mechanics Magazine did a test issue on the various TV pictch items...Sham Wow was the ONLY ONE to get high marks and really worked AS Advertised.

Vince is a real pitchman and understands the power of nuance and the ASIDE 'they always make good stuff'

That other clueless loudmouth obnoxious MORON though get's the TV Reality Show? Like I posted elsewhere...Billy Mays is a disgrace to the profession.

To repeat the other post:

"To pick LOUDMOUTH Screamin' and Yellin' Billy Mays is an insult to any pitchman who ever learned to use a mic and color his/her voice with the rythms of the sale...the nuances and turns of phrase that DRAW IN the ear of the listener rather than shove it back in a potential buyers head. Yeah I know he makes millions and some artist made millions by reproducing soup cans.

Put this moron on a lot with Bobby Reynold's or David Walker (or ANY OTHER pro) down the row and see who get's the tip or sells the pen or deck.

Billy Mays is a disgrace to the profession and if you think he's a 'Pitchman' you either don't know squat or have never been entranced with with the rise and fall, the in and out, the hypnotic beat of a true pitch from a master...and a turn of phrase that MAKES you STOP...LISTEN and RAISE Your Hand & DIG in your pocket."

"THIS IS BILLY MAYS AND I'M GONNA TALK REALLY LOUD IN MONOTONE FOR THE NEXT 30 SECONDS!"

That ain't pitching.

That's yelling.

Vince apparently got into some trouble last month with a hooker named Lucky.
