Honest question: when you are buying a rug in a North African bizarre do you exclaim that the vendor is a crook and walk away from the first offer? Or do you bring a team of attorneys, SMEs, and negotiators? This question is very germane to the TA vote

In the souks or medinas you NEVER take the first offer, and if he continues to insist on that offer with no meaningful movement to what you are looking for (unless you exude the ignorant American tourist look) YES that’s exactly what you do, you start walking away! Walking away shaking you head and looking equal amounts of mildly annoyed and disappointed saying “halas” is in fact an essential part of the process. At that point the vender runs after you saying “my friend, my friend, come, come we talk more, better price for you we come to....inshallah, yalla yalla habibi”. If you bring a team of negotiators and attorneys with you he will close up shop and won’t speak to you.

Which is to say that the two types negotiations couldn’t be any more different in how they are executed.

Bottom line, many on here are uncomfortable with the language and unsatisfied with the defined carrot... that’s when you hold out and wait for the other side to move closer to satisfy your concerns.... no different in any negotiation.
