How Contract Automation Can Increase Sales

Contract review process

Introduction

Traditional sales cycles in companies require sales teams to do manual work that AI can do in minutes. Finalizing a deal is difficult, and it is made even more difficult when contract negotiation comes into play. 

Sales teams spend a large amount of time negotiating contract terms or waiting for the legal team to review contracts. Sales teams can’t move to the next step in the cycle and legal has better work to do. Fixing contract management loopholes is a win-win for both teams. Companies that use contract automation software have 24% faster sales cycles, according to the IACCM Benchmark Report 2019.

How sales contract automation can increase sales:

Quick Access to a Contract Repository

Sales teams spend hours finding the right template and tailoring it to the specific situation. Access to a complaint and approved contract template library removes uncertainty from contracts and fosters standardization. For instance, pre-approved indemnity clauses for a specific jurisdiction. Centralization provides greater freedom to sales teams who are befuddled by contract jargon. Internal company discussions, according to Quantified, cost $525,000 in revenue per week. You can easily capture everything you need for the sales cycle in one place with a contract repository, making it easier for cross-collaboration and efficient communication.

Faster and Error-free Execution of Sales Contracts

People in sales teams aren’t lawyers, nor are they adept with legal terminology, what to include in contracts, or which words could have serious consequences. Inadequate details and inaccuracies in provisions such as payments, indemnities, warranties, and dispute resolution could pose a significant risk. By eliminating contract loopholes and focusing on clear language, comprehensive compliance, and accuracy, contract automation will assist sales teams in reducing risk. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, removing inaccuracy and non-compliance might cut contract management expenses by 33%-41%. Contract automation ensures that sales teams do not miss critical contract events, improving overall transaction visibility. An approved contract repository, together with appropriate risk management, will facilitate faster contract execution, and fewer disputes in the future.

More “Sales,” Less Administration

Sales teams end up being distracted by a plethora of tasks such as requests from different teams, approvals, contract management, invoicing, and deadline tracking. When will they focus on “sales”? Contract automation will not only off-load sales teams from contract management duties but will also boost sales efficiency. Contract automation tools support CRM integration, enabling collaboration and freeing up time to focus on sales cycle optimization. Sales teams can refine the customer journey, build ideal customer profiles, identify pipeline bottlenecks, promote feedback, improve transparency, and instill accountability by measuring KPIs. This process of vetting, restructuring, and upgrading the sales cycle to match client needs shifts the emphasis from just completing all tasks to providing a better customer experience.
