Dealmaking refers to the act of negotiating and agreeing upon terms, often in a business context. The opposite or antonyms of dealmaking include avoiding, ignoring, shirking, or neglecting negotiations. If one avoids negotiations, they miss an opportunity to establish mutually beneficial terms, leading to less efficient and effective agreements. Ignoring negotiations, on the other hand, indicates a lack of concern for the best interests of all parties involved. Shrieking negotiations may be perceived as relying on the other party's good faith and may lead to ambiguous or unenforceable terms in the agreement. Finally, neglecting negotiations indicates a complete lack of attention to the situation and its potential benefits or risks, leading to suboptimal results.
