沉默是金:谈合约时不可忽视的“沉默规则”

If you haven't heard back from someone, don't start bombarding them with emails, texts, and voicemail messages all in one day. Give them a little leeway and wait for them to reply you and try again the next day or even the next week if you have the time to wait.
如果过了一段时间还没得到回复，不要急着在当天用邮件、短信、语音狂轰滥炸催促别人。给对方点时间，如果事情并不是很急，可以隔天或下周提醒他们回复。

5、If they say no, don't push it
5、如果对方不同意，不要咄咄逼人

If they decline you, don't rephrase the same question and ask it again. The answer is no! Instead give them time to mull it over, present the issue again at a later date. The more you push them, the more they'll withdraw. Remember, you can't badger someone into agreeing.
如果对方拒绝了你的要求，不要再继续追问了，答案肯定是不同意。给他们点时间想想，过一段时间再提这件事。要记住，不要死缠烂打逼别人同意。

6、Remember that their time is precious
6、牢记对方的时间很宝贵

Their time is very valuable, so carefully pick what kind of communication works best. Emails are generally less disruptive so if you can convey your message via email, opt for that form of communication first.
时间珍贵，所以要选择适合的通讯方式。邮件不会太打扰别人，所以如果你的事用邮件可以说清楚，最好选择这种方式联系他人。
