爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok offered fifteen thousand dollars for the twelve articles--a goodly price in those days--and he saw that the idea and the terms attracted the English statesman. But he also saw that the statesman was not quite ready. He decided, therefore, to leave the matter with him, and keep the avenue of approach favorably open by inducing Mrs. Gladstone to write for him. Bok knew that Mrs. Gladstone had helped her husband in his literary work, that she was a woman who had lived a full-rounded life, and after a day's visit and persuasion, with Mr. Gladstone as an amused looker-on, the editor closed a contract with Mrs. Gladstone for a series of reminiscent articles "From a Mother's Life."

白话
博克出价一万五千美元请格莱斯顿写十二篇文章,价格不菲,他看出对方心动但还没准备好。于是他不催促,转而请格莱斯顿夫人写回忆文章,既保持联系又留下好印象。这告诉我们:谈判遇到对方犹豫时,不必强攻,可以换个角度建立关系,比如先合作一个小项目,让大门保持敞开,等时机成熟再谈。
上下文
博克作为杂志编辑,想请英国政治家格莱斯顿写自传文章,但对方尚未答应。
今日一问
当对方犹豫不决时,你能否找到另一种方式保持联系,而不是急于求成?
