English term or phrase: salamied

"Time Out, Beware Ranges, Salami, “If You … Then I “, Theatrics, Silence"

Bonjour, il s'agit de différentes technique de négociation. je ne suis pas certaine de comprendre le sens.
Peut-on à votre avis traduire par le terme "saucissoner"? Dans le sens de faire les choses en plusieurs fois, ce qui risque de faire perdre le fil?

Merci pour votre aide.
Sabrina

coupé en rondelles

Explanation:
Le terme salami se trouve même en 'négo' en français, mais pour garder l'idée et l'image d'origine, je le mettrais 'en rondelles' ;-):

saucissoner

Explanation:
"Salami sausages are big things (often spicy) that are eaten a slice at a time. They would be indigestible if taken in a single large piece. This aspect has led negotiators to use the name for a negotiation technique that tries to do just that: to win concessions in small doses (slices) when the other party would probably reject them if they were put on the table all at once. The technique is often used against a party that is mainly concerned with damage limitation."
