Mums the Word: The Power of Silence in Contract Negotiation

When negotiating a key business contract, sometimes what you don’t say can be just as powerful as what you do. In fact, silence is one of the simplest yet most frequently overlooked contract negotiation strategies. In today’s fast-paced world, we are not accustomed to silence.
