Sometimes contracts (or terms and conditions) can get in the way of doing business. They are like a pre-nup on a first date, or a gun to your head. We blithely click "I agree" buttons without reading the small print. According to a recent SAGA Survey 41% of people read terms and conditions for on-line shopping. Surely this is a gross-over-estimate! Virtually no-one does and the companies know it from the click through rate. It doesn't have to be this way. You can get the confidence to read, write, use and adapt simple contracts. As a speaker, trainer and innovator, Sarah Fox is passionate about getting you to take control over your business contracts. You can learn why contracts are so important to meeting business goals and reflecting your values. You can learn to write your own simple, ethical contracts. You can learn the nitty-gritty of the contracts you currently use. Sarah Fox, Author of the 500-Word Contract For more information visit www.500words.co.uk
