How do I stop chasing clients to sign their contract?
The agreement goes out, then sits unsigned. You remind the client daily, then weekly, and the case or job can't start.
Do it yourself
Turn on reminders
Most e-signature tools can remind the signer automatically every few days.
Keep it short
Ask for one signature on as few pages as possible, and say why it matters now.
Send the link by text
Many people sign from their phone. Text the signing link with consent.
Call on day 3
A short call clears most hesitation faster than another email.

Questions
How do I stop chasing clients to sign their contract?
Turn on automatic reminders in your e-signature tool, keep the signing short, and add a personal nudge when the automatic ones are ignored.
How often should I remind a client to sign?
A common rhythm is daily for the first week, then weekly. Stop once they sign or say no.
Do I need new legal software?
No. Keep your e-signature tool. The Block Runway works from the notices it already sends to your inbox.
