How to Set Up a Deal Desk That Accelerates Complex Deals Without Losing Margin
A deal desk standardizes pricing approvals and exceptions. Here's how to set one up that moves fast without giving away the farm.
Complex deals require pricing exceptions, custom terms, and multi-stakeholder approvals. Without a deal desk, these requests bottleneck on individual approvers, slowing deals and producing inconsistent outcomes.
A deal desk centralizes deal review and approval with standardized criteria: pre-approved discount thresholds by deal size, standard terms that do not require legal review, escalation paths for non-standard requests, and SLAs for approval turnaround time.
