Handle a deal stuck in a contract redline spiral

Diagnose a stalled redline and get ranked moves to escalate it to businesspeople and close.

About this prompt

This prompt helps an AE or sales manager unstick a deal trapped in a back-and-forth redline spiral between the two legal teams. It diagnoses the real blocker, sorts contested terms into genuine risk versus legal thoroughness, and gives ranked moves to break the logjam. Use it in closing when a deal is otherwise done but at risk of dying in legal.Deals die in legal when two teams trade redlines on principle and no one forces a resolution, and this prompt helps you break the logjam. Describe the deal in ACCOUNT, SIZE, HOW CLOSE TO DONE OTHERWISE; name THE CONTESTED TERMS; give the state of play in HOW MANY ROUNDS, HOW FAR APART, WHO'S DUG IN; lay out each side in WHAT THEIRS WANTS VS. WHAT OURS WANTS; set the CLOSE PRESSURE; and note your CHAMPION, EXEC SPONSOR, COMPETITIVE PRESSURE. It diagnoses the real blocker, sorts each term into genuine business risk versus low-stakes thoroughness, ranks concrete unstick moves, advises what to concede versus hold, scripts the escalate-to-businesspeople play, and gives you the message to mobilize your champion. Use this for the strategy and people-moves only, since it flags every term as one to confirm with your own legal team and stays out of judging what's safe to accept. Tip: fill WHAT THEIRS WANTS VS. WHAT OURS WANTS even roughly, since the term-by-term concede-or-hold read is where most of the unblock lives.
