What is the Stop Chasing Sign-Offs course about?

Every week, critical deals stall because approvers miss requests, context gets lost in email threads, or routing rules change without notice. The result is rework, delayed closes, and frustrated sales partners. You maintain spreadsheets, track status manually, and still get blamed when something slips. This isn’t inefficiency, it’s systemic friction in your approval workflow.
