Choose the right perspective
Match the person's side of the table to yours, since negotiating sales contracts with customers differs from negotiating procurement contracts with suppliers. Ask whether the person negotiated directly or managed a team that did, and which contract types they handled most.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Which terms do you refuse to concede in a commercial contract, and which do you trade away to close?
- 02How do you set approval rules so the business can sign standard contracts without legal review?
- 03How do you handle a large customer who insists on using their own contract paper?
