The Quota-Contingent Exclusivity Script

Recommended Spoken Script
"We are willing to grant regional commercial exclusivity in Japan for Year 1, contingent on achieving an initial $500k ARR sales milestone by Month 6. If minimum performance targets are not met, the contract automatically converts to a non-exclusive distribution agreement, allowing secondary channel partnerships."
