The specific term is "walk-away power" — the ability to actually walk away from a deal. It is a form of buyer's advantage (i.e., a source of leverage for the buyer).
Quick points:
- Walk-away power = the practical option and willingness to decline the deal if terms aren’t acceptable.
- Why it matters: it gives you leverage because the seller must make a better offer to keep you.
- How to strengthen it: develop alternatives (BATNA), set limits in advance, avoid emotional attachment, and be prepared to follow through.
- How to use it: signal your limit without bluffing, pause after offers, and be ready to leave if the seller won't meet your terms.
So both terms are related, but the precise phrase for the ability is “walk-away power.”
