When it comes to closing business
deals, many companies focus most of their attention on writing or evaluating
proposals and then speeding through the onerous legalese of the contract in
order to sign on the dotted line and get on with the business. That’s a potentially high-priced
mistake you can’t afford to make. That is - if you want to end up with
solid business deals for your company.
In this content-rich,
results-oriented GWebinar, GW alumna and Business & Technology attorney, Yvenne King, LAW JD ’93, will share her expertise from 20 years of negotiating complex
business deals for companies like ESPN, AOL and Reuters Research (now part of
Thomson Reuters) so your business can thrive in today’s fast-moving,
competitive business landscape.
The steps to maximize every business
deal for your company’s benefit are surprisingly simple and relatively
inexpensive to implement.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- 3 vital steps in closing a business deal most
companies skip and why you can’t afford to
- The biggest reason you should postpone contract
review and negotiations to later in the process
- The critical step leading companies use to
negotiate the most favorable business deals
- How to structure deals when work must begin
before the contract is signed so you don’t get taken advantage of
- One surprisingly common oversight that can cost
you unnecessary legal expenses and lost revenue
- A simple practice that can save your company from
incredibly costly surprises
