On Crafty Counsel's monthly "High Growth" call, the discussion was all about how Legal can help improve "Speed to Contract". Saman Harris shared some initial thoughts on: 🎫 Having short, proportionate sales contracts optimised for the products / services 🔍 the value of doing a sales process mapping exercise to identify bottle-necks 🕜 measuring and reporting on any SLA on response times from Legal Then in break-out rooms our Community members added their thoughts in this word-cloud below - the highlight in the discussion afterwards was about taking "baby steps". Next month: "Setting boundaries for Legal" #legalops #contracting #inhouselegal

I hear a lot of horror stories about the relationship of sales vs. legal: Sales says Legal is a blocker. Legal says Sales waits until the last minute and makes promises they can't keep. But if you stop and think about it, we're not that different: --Sales and Legal both learn how to communicate persuasively -Sales and Legal both learn how to handle objections -Sales and Legal both want to close deals and bring in revenue for the company -Sales and Legal are both trained to think on their feet -Many sales leaders and lawyers like to dig into the facts and share their knowledge with stakeholders -Sales and Legal both have high expectations for their teams and want to win If you pause and think about these similarities, it's easier to feel empathetic. And to build a relationship. If you're in Legal, how do you build rapport with Sales? If you're in Sales, how do you partner with Legal?

At SpeedLegal, the process of directly interviewing executives from different job functions is very positive. In addition to the obvious benefits of creating meaningful relationships, we've gained valuable insights into specific processes that go into contract negotiation. We've also identified and measured the pain points for various functions. A single negotiated #contract affects; #RevOps, #Finance, #Sales, #Renewals, and #Legal, each with their own set of priorities. 1:1 conversations provide a deep understanding of needs. The biggest personal takeaway, though, is how rewarding it is to be having; honest, direct, and frequent communication. I can already feel how it helps us to navigate with confidence.
