Documents are plain, white, and boring. Does anyone (except contract attorneys) actually enjoy reading a contract document? Instead of snuggling up with Dickens or Austen, get cozy with your next contract! Even with our iPhone, does anyone really read the terms and conditions? Our guess is no. However, when it comes to business contracts, you don’t have a choice. When you’re closing a deal at the end of the sales journey, you have to force yourself to read every nook and cranny of the document. Without attention to detail, you might be signing into a bad deal and lead to bad business. Tune in for Mikita as he shares why super cool contracts can increase your bottom line by 30% and increase your closing rate by 18% on this week’s episode of the Garlic Marketing Show.

 

Does anyone still read?

That can’t be true! We read every day.

Technically yes, obviously, we’re still reading, but our brains are becoming rewired so that we NEED to watch videos. Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. all of these social media platforms are utilizing the power of video. With one click you can record yourself and post it on your story and share to your followers. With one click, you can watch what your friends are doing. With one search, you can watch a how-to video instead of reading. Videos are WAY more entertaining and accessible than reading an article. Our mental capacity tops out at roughly 140 characters. PandaDoc is following the trend, but taking it to business contracts. PandaDoc incorporates video into their contracts and Mikita said video has increased businesses’ closing rate to 18%.

But hey if you’re one of the few and still enjoy reading a good book, here’s Mikita’s favorite: Quiet Leadership

This also makes it easier for customers to digest information and ultimately contact you. While video also decreases the amount of time working and reading a document.
