English term or phrase: lock oneself in
Jag översätter ett dokument som är riktat till svenska affärsmän som ska delta i en kurs i förhandlingsteknik, och då står det så här i avsnittet om taktiker för att inleda en förhandling:

7 Lock yourself in
You might make your opening offer a ‘first-and-final offer’. Usually, you base your position on
extensive research, and make the offer on the understanding it is fair and firm and you are not
holding anything back for further negotiation. However, ‘locking-yourself-in’ can lead to a credibility
problem as you need some way to prove you aren’t bluffing.

Kan man översätta med Stå orubblig vid sin ståndpunkt?
