The Contract Management Naughty and Nice List

December 20, 2019 |

You know us by now. We love to get a little goofy while we work. Contract management may not be the world's most exciting topic, but we feel pretty passionate about it and like to keep things interesting. This year, as we put together our holiday greeting, we reimagined Santa's naughty and nice list with a contract management twist.

If Santa were to write a naughty and nice list for contract management, what would that look like? Well, we were pretty sure what would fall on the naughty side. Missing contracts for sure! Delays? Redlines? Bottlenecks? Check, check, and check! What about the dreaded missed renewal? Oh you know that made the list too. We could keep going for quite awhile!

And the nice list? Well, we think automation is pretty awesome. Same for integrations and reminders (so you don't miss those renewals). Searchability is definitely on the nice list. And so are quick approvals. Aren't they the best? We know you have other favorites to add to the nice list.

And what about all of you? Did you make the naughty or nice list? Well, you definitely made our nice list! We are so grateful for all the things we have accomplished and learned together int he past 12 months — new team members, new product development, new customers, and new partners. What a year 2019 has been! From all of us at Malbek, we want to send you our warmest holiday greetings and most heartfelt wishes for a happy and healthy 2020. (And may all your contracts be reimagined in the new year!) Best wishes, the Malbek team

Becky Holloway began her marketing career in the world of consumer packaged goods when digital marketing was still in its infancy and social media was all about MySpace (remember them?), but she got her start in tech by answering a Craigslist ad for a marketing position at a brand new start-up in Philadelphia, which completely changed the course of her career. Since then, she has worked with numerous companies in technology, finance, and healthcare, helping to shape and develop them into robust, demand-generating machines that drive revenue growth. From content writing and educating to campaign creation, product launch, and business development, Becky is a student of the craft of marketing. She is trained and certified in Pragmatic Marketing’s methodology, which seeks to focus on market-driven problem solving to shape go-to-market strategy. She is also a firm believer that marketing gets a bad rep because too often its practitioners rely on gut instinct instead of on hard data. Marketing is both art and science, and, where the two meet, the magic happens. Outside of marketing, Becky has a serious case of wanderlust and travels as much as she can with her husband. Her crazy, blended, "Brady Bunch" family including five children keeps her very busy, but when time permits she is an avid birding enthusiast, gardener, knitter, and piano player. She is a former board member of the Honors College Alumni Association at Rutgers University-Camden, and, in quiet moments when inspiration strikes, she writes to soothe her soul.
