Wow. Let me ask you about this real scenario that took place over a period of months.
I put an offer on the table.
The other party put a counter offer on the table. I turned it down but said my offer stands.
After three rounds of this, I took my offer off the table and put a reduced offer on the table with a deadline (I was in the more powerful position).
They accepted it.
Was that a full negotiation? Several negotiations?
It worked, but now I’m wondering about the legal definition of the process.
It was one continuous negotiation, because you ALWAYS had an offer on the table, and the other party never ended the process. And you obtained a resolution that was acceptable to you. That’s a win!
