According to research by Forrester and Aberdeen, it takes an average of 3.4 weeks to get a contract approved, but using Contract Management software can reduce contract approval time an average of 82%.
Deals don’t always close as fast as we’d like. The contract review, approval, and negotiation phase is all too often a sticking point on the journey from quote to cash.
We have shared a lot of information about Configure-Price-Quote and the benefits of integrating a quote generation tool with Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Sales. But, another part of the sales process that creates delays, and can kill deals, is the contract phase.
Manual contract generation and approval is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Contracts can languish for days or weeks while Finance, Operations, and Legal review and approve contracts. What’s needed is a level of control over managing contracts, while ensuring contracts move forward quickly.
5 Ways Contract Management Software Helps Close Deals Faster
Organization: Automated workflows prompt internal parties such as sales, finance, and legal to perform their review, redlining, and approval then move the contract forward to keep the approval process on track.
Simplicity: Using pre-built templates and workflows, sales representatives can quickly create and send contracts without difficulty.
Productivity: Approvals move quickly since all parties in the process have a structured process to follow, step-by-step.
Efficiency: Conversations, redlines, and documents are all located in one digital collaborative environment, eliminating the back and forth of emails and hastening the negotiation process.
Storage: Contracts, and all versions of each document, are stored and synced in one place. Version control is a non-issue, and contracts can be retrieved from a central repository with ease.
A standard automated workflow for each buyer, includes review by business teams, redlining, e-Signature, storage of agreements, and submission to buyers. The same stages and steps are followed for each customer interaction, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
Why Choose Contract Management Software?
Adding new sales software is an investment, but one that can increase your sales teams’ success is certainly worth considering.
