Speeding Up Enterprise Contract Negotiations In Sales

Shortening the contract negotiation phase can be a challenge for salespeople. On the one hand, you don’t want to rush it because it’s essential that your business and your customers are on the same page. But, on the other hand, if you take too long to go back and forth, you risk losing the sale entirely.

That’s why having contract lifecycle management (CLM) software in place is so important. The right CLM will simplify and streamline the contract negotiation process, which will speed up the sales process and make your customers happy.

It’s a win-win situation!

Here are some reasons why sales teams should have a CLM in place and how DocJuris can streamline the contract negotiation process for your sales team while mitigating legal and financial risks.

How CLM Benefits Sales Teams

There are multiple steps within the contract lifecycle that can be categorized into two distinct stages—pre-signature and post-signature. The one that matters most for sales teams is the pre-signature stage.

During the pre-signature stage, you and the buyer will analyze, negotiate, compare, and comment on the contract as you work to agree on terms that set the tone for the future of your business relationship.

This stage includes multiple exchanges of information through contract drafts before finalizing the contract. As a salesperson, you want this stage to be as fast as possible without compromising accuracy or quality.

Sales teams can benefit from a CLM that effectively manages the contract negotiation and drafting phase by mitigating legal risks and ensuring both parties agree on the terms of their new business relationship.
