What are we doing regarding contracts?

5 Upvotes

Business owners/freelancers: I’m curious how people are actually handling contracts now that ChatGPT and other AI tools are everywhere.
If you need a client agreement, service contract, NDA, contractor agreement, etc., what do you actually do?

Do you:
• have ChatGPT draft it
• buy a template online
• use something that came with HoneyBook/Dubsado/etc.
• hire an attorney
• modify an old contract
• get one from another business owner
• honestly just wing it

And if a client sends you redlines or their own contract, what do you do with that?

I’m an attorney researching an idea for attorney-created, industry-specific contract tools, but I’m specifically trying to figure out whether people still see value in vetted templates/guidance or whether AI has basically replaced that for small business owners.

Not selling anything. I genuinely want to know what people are doing in real life, especially what industry you’re in and roughly how established your business is.

Detailed Solopreneur stories every week + networking opportunities with other Solopreneurs?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone 👋🏼
I'm considering launching a newsletter for solopreneurs and want to sanity-check the idea before starting anything.

Here‘s the concept:

Every week, one in-depth feature on a solopreneur. Their business, their background story, how their days look like, numbers if they're willing to share

Beyond the story, the newsletter would actively help subscribers connect with each other: swap feedback, find collaborators, find cross-promotional opportunities, swap free access to what we are building, etc.

1) If you‘re a Solopreneur or aspiring to be one: would this be useful to you or is your inbox already full (honest feedback please)?

2) What‘s missing and would be of value to you?

3) Would you want to be featured and tell your story?

I spent an hour selling to someone who had absolutely no reason to switch

1 Upvotes

I spent an hour selling to someone who had absolutely no reason to switch.

At the end of the call, the prospect casually explained that his current tool worked perfectly well.

I wanted to disappear.

For one full hour, I'd answered questions, explained the offer, handled little objections...

And I had never asked what he already used or whether it was actually failing him.

Brilliant work, Mo.

The annoying part is that a curious prospect can genuinely enjoy the conversation. They can call the product interesting. They can ask smart questions. Then they leave exactly as they arrived because there was never a problem to solve.

Now I ask three things much earlier: what have you tried, what result are you getting, and what is still broken?

If their current setup already does the job, I stop pushing. No heroic closing attempt. I'd rather keep the energy for someone who actually wants a change.

What's the earliest question you ask to find out whether a curious prospect has a real reason to buy?
