Don t Show Triumph

Don't Show Triumph

Don't show triumph. It creates resentment. It implies I won, and they lost. Be careful who you talk to, and what you say. The more you say, the more danger there is.

Any expression of elation will be interpreted negatively by your counterpart. They may begin to rue the deal and look for a way out. Be careful what you say to them, their staff or your staff. Pride goes before a fall, and that is eminently applicable here. The maxim to follow is 'Sign up then shut up.'
