Swiss businesspeople will not always tell you what they think
Home > Business Guide > Table of Contents > Negotiating > What they think
Do not expect the Swiss to tell you abruptly
that they do not agree at all with your opinion.
They will hear you out, just saying yes, yes. If they
do not answer frankly to a question—or even do
not answer at all—that does not mean that they do
not have a perfectly clear opinion. The Swiss hate
the feeling of losing time, so if they are not interested
at all, they will not comment on the matter. If
a Swiss takes time with you, it means that he or she
thinks there are good opportunities. |
