Want to save legal fees and close your sales faster? Here’s how one short phone call saved our client $15,000—and avoided months of painful contract negotiations.
Our client sells SaaS software. Their customer was ready to buy. Everything was lined up—until the legal team jumped in.
The customer rejected a simple 7-page security doc and sent back a massive 70-page contract. It was full of requirements that didn’t apply to our client’s product.
This kind of thing happens all the time in B2B sales. Legal teams often use one-size-fits-all templates—and those templates can kill your momentum. So, should you spend weeks editing? Hire lawyers? Walk away from the deal?
That’s one option… but it’s expensive.
Instead, we found a better way to save legal fees and time:
👉 Set up a quick call between the customer’s legal team and our client’s tech team.
What happened?
Five minutes into the call, the legal team realized they’d been reviewing the contract like it was for a government defense system. Once they understood what the software actually did, they downgraded the risk tier.
From there?
Two rounds of quick edits. Deal closed in two weeks. Everyone was happy.
