That may well be so, but what do retentions actually do for VM and for the customer if that is all they do?

I feel very bleak and down now... this thread is like a rollercoaster of emotions... haha

Not take bad/unprofitable business, and try to retain those that are profitable...

Thanks Hugh, so these constant posts mentioning ringing retentions are not actually good advice?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
I think it's obvious something is going to happen Aug 1st because that's when virgin's special offer runs out, now if they were just losing the channels and gaining nothing you'd think they'd keep that special offer running

Again, it's like SCS sales, the super duper sale ends, the summer special sale begins.
The only thing that's obvious is that its the first of a month which is a sensible time for various things.

Look Vince we all have sadness and happiness sometimes in our life but the key is to come out the other side that much stronger and wiser for those experiences.
