Welcome from HF20 @chbartist. Thanks for this post as it concerns the BASICS OF NEGOTIATION without which no meaningful success can be achieved in Life.

Yes! , What Not To Say Could be More Important than What To Say . But if we are to be more Conscious with much of "What Not To Say" , HOW DO WE SAY THAT WHICH MUST BE COMMUNICATED??

I opined , it should be HOW to say that Which Must Be Said to engender the Desired to ALL PARTY!!

Happy New October to All Steemians, including YOU ,who is Reading ME Now!!!
