RECOGNIZE THE PATTERN

Why Approvals Take Forever

01

What it looks like

  • Emails requesting approval get lost or ignored
  • Clients forget what they're approving and ask for context
  • Multiple stakeholders slow down every decision
  • No clear record of what was approved and when
  • Projects miss deadlines waiting on sign-offs
02

What gets in the way

  • Approvals buried in email threads
  • No structured presentation of what needs approval
  • Clients don't understand the urgency or context
  • Multiple approval methods create confusion
  • No automatic reminders or escalation
03

Why it matters

  • Project timelines slip repeatedly
  • Team productivity drops waiting on client input
  • Scope disputes arise from unclear approvals
  • Client frustration from repeated follow-up requests
  • Revenue recognition delayed by stalled milestones

GOOD QUESTIONS

Streamline Client Approvals FAQs

Can clients request changes instead of approving?

Yes. Clients can approve, request changes with specific feedback, or ask questions—all tracked in the same workflow.

How do reminders work?

Set automatic reminder sequences (e.g., 2 days, 5 days, 1 week). Clients get gentle nudges via email with direct links to approve.

Can I require approval before moving to the next phase?

Absolutely. Set up milestone gates that require approval before unlocking the next project phase.

What if a client has multiple decision-makers?

Route approvals to specific stakeholders and see who has signed off. Set rules for requiring all approvers or just primary contacts.
