Close Deals Before Summer Slowdown

Introductory Note

Welcome to another G.O.A.T. Hack! 🐐

We’re here to help you close contracts without the chaos—especially when the out-of-office replies start multiplying.

Close the Deals Before the Out-of-Office Replies Take Over

June is here. ☀️
That means sunshine, summer plans, and teammates slowly updating their status to: “OOO — back in week 30.” 🏖️

But one thing doesn’t go on holiday:

Contracts waiting for a signature.

You know the drill:

• The agreement is basically done
• It just needs one approval or one signature
• And of course… that person just left for vacation

Suddenly “we’ll close it this week” becomes “let’s pick it up after summer.”

Let’s not.

Why Deals Stall in Summer (and How to Stop It)

Summer delays usually aren’t about negotiation—they’re about process:

• PDFs get lost in email threads
• Nobody knows the real status
• The signer changes mid-flow
• Follow-ups become a full-time job

A digital signing flow keeps things moving because you can send, track, and finalize without chasing people across calendars.

🐐 The June Check (10 minutes that saves weeks)

Before vacation season hits full speed, scan your open agreements:

• Which documents still need a signature?
• Who needs to approve what—and are they about to go OOO?
• Which agreements should be closed before holiday season?
• What can be sent for signing already today?

Small prep now = fewer deals stuck in summer limbo.

G.O.A.T. Hack

Send agreements as a signing link (not an attachment) so you keep:

• One source of truth
• Clear visibility into what’s pending
• Fewer “can you resend?” loops
• Faster signatures—even from a phone on vacation

And if the signer changes last-minute? The best workflows let you update the recipient without restarting (because life happens).
