The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

No saw it this morning actually!

 

Cleared of any wrongdoing and didn't have to issue an apology. Much unlike Liverpool

 

So it was allowed 5 years ago and isn't now?

 

Like my fellow Saint said above, we were cleared and never had to issue an embarrassing apology....,

 

We were cleared. At least we apologised................

 

You seem to have missed the link to our apology and promise that we were no longer interested. Or the link to stories about the further action taken? Anything other than an accusation by Ian Holloway?

Run along now.

Manners cost nothing. Defenders from Southampton though cost ****ing loads!

 

Made you say that you're no longer interested in van Dijk....so we can take your club's honourable word that they are no longer interested...

 

Husker Du are superb by the way.

 

Why did you apologise if you did nothing wrong?

 

Scousers seen raiding a farmer's bales for yet more straws to clutch at.

 

lol, that's a full ball snooker right there.

 

So that we look like we are playing nice and you sell us the Dutch geezer.

 

Clasie is up for sale, you can have him.

 

Yeah thanks.

 

Oh ****. We are going to have start being rude to Scousers again.

What part of NO do they not ****ing understand?

 

Have we bid? No. We've stuck to our word.

Shouldn't we get respect for that?

We're Angels compared to what tricks have pulled for Coutinho.

 

My mistake - Genuine, real evidence:



Vin

 

We haven't bid so how does that work?

 

Unless invited to bid we won't.

We have manners at our club

 

"No" could have many differnt meanings. It might indicate that the buyer has unanswered questions and concerns about the offering, or might not be sure how it compares to the alternatives in the marketplace. Or the buyer might not be clear about the benefits of the offering. Or perhaps, the salesperson hasn’t properly qualified the buyer. Or the buyer doesn’t like the timing or features. Or maybe, the buyer just doesn’t like salesperson—a big factor in any sales arena that requires an ongoing relationship.

If you’re a sales professional, you better figure out exactly what the prospective buyer means by “no” before you head for the door. To paraphrase the great Yogi Berra, the sale ain’t over till it’s over.

The challenge is how you manage a “no.”

The bottom line: When it comes to sales, whether a buyer’s no really means no depends first and foremost on how you respond to the word.

Hope this helps.
