FAQs

These are some Frequently Asked Questions about the book and digital resources.

Do I need to buy software or sign up to a particular automation platform?

Not at all, no new software required! 

The methods in this book and the tools we share will help create usable contracts to ‘wow’ your customers and boost your productivity, even if you’re not ready to automate yet.

This book gives you a kick start towards thinking about contracts digitally and shares the secrets to crafting contracts that combine management of legal risks with powerful productivity and gold-standard user-experiences.

If you do want to go digital, then the techniques we share around contract design apply to all contract automation and document assembly platforms.

What will you need?

To put these contract design methods into action you will need:
  • An open mind and desire for reinvention
  • The ability to encourage others in your business to try new things
  • A computer and word processing program (such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs)
  • A short sample contract you want to redesign
  • Access to an electronic signature or automation application (if you want to go digital)

What kind of contracts can I use contract design methods for?

All kinds of contracts!

That’s because the contract design methods and Reverse Sandwich Contracting we share are a way of thinking (not an expensive, bespoke piece of software). That means the methods apply to all contracts and can help improve any type of contract in many different ways.

The contract design mindsets and methods in this book have a track record of success with a range of contracts and legal documents including:
  • Auditing of franchisees
  • Consulting agreements
  • Performance warning letters
  • Franchise agreements
  • Marketing services
  • Confidentiality agreements
  • Letters of intent
  • Risk assessments
  • Settlement agreements
  • Corporate services agreements
  • Approval processes
  • Letters of consent
  • Contract variations
  • Wholesale service agreements
  • Marketing release forms
  • Contract summaries and sign off sheets
  • Termination letters
  • Terms of settlement and release
… and much more!

If you are just starting out, start with a simple letter or agreement and work from there. 

Is this just for simple, basic contracts?

These contract design tools and methods apply to all kinds of contracts.

All contracts (no matter how complex) can benefit from re-design using the methods in this book. In fact, more complicated contracts often benefit the most!

Start small and work your way up to the big ones!
