We've all seen them. Pages and pages of barely readable text, full of legalese and jargon no one outside of lawyers understands. Why do we do this to ourselves and our sellers?

This week, we are taking ideas and insights from Sarah Fox of 500 Words about why our contracts are sabotaging the relationships between seller and buyer. Sarah emphasizes the human aspect of contracts, promoting a relational approach over a legalistic one. She advises sales leaders to view agreements as sales tools that can help convert more clients, generate additional work, and strengthen relationships.

What you'll learn:

• When do we want to start thinking about the agreements we will put in front of buyers. 
• What are the most common sticking points in the agreement process.
• Why most contracts are not at all about legal, but just doing deals.

We want to hear from you!
