Procurement, Legal, and Security Questions
Day 27 of 30 · B2B Sales 2026 Masterclass
Assemble a “procurement pack” so the deal doesn’t slip in the last week.
Learning Goal
- List procurement pack items (security, DPA, SLA, billing, signing).
- Prepare a one-page security/DPA summary.
- Create a legal/security checklist for meetings.
- Write an early-involvement template for legal/IT.
- Flag typical red flags (data path, access, compliance).
- Use AI to summarize policies.
Why It Matters
- Late legal/IT involvement causes slips.
- Clear security info reduces risk perception.
- Prepared pack speeds review.
Explanation
Procurement pack minimum
- Security one-pager (data, hosting, access, audit).
- DPA/SLA template.
- Billing/contract terms.
- Signature process (e-sign, contacts).
Involvement
- Call out legal/IT need during discovery.
- Send the security one-pager early.
- Book a review date.
Examples
Bad: Only after the proposal you discover DPA/security review.
Good: Send the one-pager post-discovery and book legal/IT review.
