Sales Agency Agreement

A Sales Agency Agreement defines the relationship between a principal and agent for the promotion and sale of goods or services. This playbook outlines commission structures, exclusivity provisions, and termination rights critical to effective representation.

Change Control Process

Why This Matters: Informal change management leads to disputes over deliverables and budget overruns. A structured process ensures transparency and mutual agreement on changes.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure all change requests are documented and assessed for impact on project scope and budget. Negotiate for a clear approval process to avoid unauthorized changes.

If you're the Service Provider:

Advocate for a streamlined change request process to minimize delays. Ensure that all changes are documented and agreed upon to prevent disputes.

Essential elements

UNFAVORABLE

For fixed-price contracts, changes should be carefully evaluated to avoid cost overruns and ensure profitability.

Agile Development

In agile development, incorporate flexibility in the change control process to accommodate iterative changes while maintaining project goals.
