Fixing agreements directly in the chat, saving nerves, time and money

Hello everyone, my name is Alexey. I am a startup consulting and development company and organizer of several major IT events.





By the nature of my work, I have to negotiate with a large number of people, from the IT sphere to the sound engineer and presenters. Very often, agreements take place, of course, in chats or by phone. So to speak, by all your favorite ways to negotiate " on the run ".





The advantages of this method are obvious - it's fast. Especially considering the increased pace of information exchange through chats and calls.





The main disadvantage of this approach is unreliability.





In the case of a phone call, I think many are aware of the cases: " we did not discuss it ", " we agreed to discuss it later ." Or if this is a chat, then it is very difficult to find what was agreed upon behind the stream of messages. Well, and a very difficult case: when messages are edited retroactively.





Each such situation is, at least, a waste of time in search of what the agreement was really about, and at the most, you also lose money, even if not very large. If there are several such disputable agreements, then the amount can be significant.





To avoid such unpleasant situations, you can conclude contracts for all. But, for me personally, in this case there is a certain monetary threshold. For example: you need to prepare a report in Power Bi according to the data, the issue price is 6k. Yes, you can take a standard contract and conclude it, but you don't want to waste time preparing and concluding it for such a small task. Therefore, more likely, there will be just an agreement in the chat.

Since the start, I have already managed to conclude about 30 Quick contracts . On two occasions he has already saved my nervous system, when a person tried to prove to me that we certainly did not agree on this. To resolve the issue, it took 2 seconds to click on the hashtag Quick Agreement and find the only contract in the chat with him. Saved time, money and your own peace of mind, well, isn't it great!





Guys, I wish everyone to be less nervous and enjoy life more, and technology should only help this.
