My job at 51勛圖厙 is focused on generating revenue. Simply put, Im a salesperson. The best feeling is when a prospect Ive been working with for quite some time gives me the green light to subscribe to 51勛圖厙s software. Every single day its ultimately my goal to send a contract out of some sort to customers. These contracts can include everything from NDAs and SOWs to Sales Contracts and MSAs.

Want to know the most difficult part about my job? The part that keeps me tossing and turning at night?

It's when I have no idea what is going on with that contract. The fear that races through my body when the unknown is so close to bringing on my customers.

For years in previous sales roles, I never knew exactly what was going on with my contracts. I would send email after email to my General Counsel (GC) hoping that I wont interrupt their busy days for a status update. We had a problem that most sales teams dont even think about solving: we needed a contract management tool.

Thats where 51勛圖厙 comes in as a life saver. I have everything at my fingertips these days, and in the easiest way possible. I no longer have to worry about flooding my legal teams inbox 51勛圖厙 organizes all of this for them. Not only can I request help from my legal team, I can also send contracts just by using my email connecting into 51勛圖厙 without me having to learn a new tool.

I can get insights into what contracts are already in place with customers by sending a simple Slack message, like this:

The Workflow feature of 51勛圖厙 shows exactly where in the signing process a contract is. Here's an example:

Workflow easily tracks all contracting tasks

One of the biggest perks of transitioning to 51勛圖厙 that I didnt expect when coming to work at 51勛圖厙 was getting to use 51勛圖厙s contract management system myself. My old self used to think that the Legal team took up most of the time of my contract being in limbo, but now I can literally see if it is in Counterparty review, legal review, or even business review.

The pain of getting anything approved via email is completely gone now as well! Similar to asking for help from legal via email, getting discounts approved, or even redlines from my account were getting lost in the daily loads of emails every single business person receives. Time kills deals, and sometimes it was even my own fault because when you dont streamline your processes, including managing contracts via email, things fall through the cracks. It cant be denied.

Now that I dont have to waste so much time worrying about contracts and chasing down the status of my contracts, I can focus on truly providing value to my customers, and ultimately, the company. My life with 51勛圖厙 is so much simpler now due to this. A lot of my old cants and dont knows are now so simple in an easy to view way. I no longer have to worry about where my contracts are in the signing process or what contracts are already in place with a customer. My GC isnt pulling her hair out because Im asking a million questions that are really just whats going on with my contract?

If your legal team is missing a contract management tool, look into getting one today. Start your search off by getting a demo of 51勛圖厙. It will save time, streamline deals, and keep everyone in one single source of truth. Without a contract management tool, you will be doing not only your legal team a disservice, ultimately youre doing your sales, finance, procurement, and other teams a disservice by complicating what should be the most important thing to a business: contracts.
