​? Negotiation is a delicate dance of strategy, communication, and compromise. Should you make the first offer or wait for the other party to make their move?

? Some argue that initiating the offer grants control and sets the tone for the negotiation, while others believe that waiting allows for a better understanding of the other party’s position.
