Ever noticed how a well‑placed pause can shift a whole negotiation without saying a word?
A pause is like a silent lever, you know. It lets you shift the whole room while keeping your own cards close. I use it sparingly, but when it lands, the other side is already moving in the direction I want.
Sounds like you’ve got a good feel for the rhythm—just keep the pause sharp so it doesn’t turn into a long wait.
Exactly, the rhythm matters. I keep the pause tight enough to hold them in place, then snap back with the next point. No one gets stuck in a long silence.
Nice rhythm, just make sure the next move lands as hard as the pause.
I always time the follow‑up so it lands just where it can hit the hardest, while still keeping the other side guessing.
Sounds efficient—just keep the timing unpredictable so it never feels like a set routine.
