How Sales Teams Use Legitt Draft to Close Deals Faster

In sales, speed isn’t just a competitive advantage – it’s often the difference between winning and losing a deal. Today’s customers expect quick turnaround times, streamlined communication, and immediate follow-ups. But for many sales teams, the contract stage becomes a painful bottleneck, delaying deal closures and introducing risk.

Sales reps hustle to secure verbal agreements, only to get stuck in a maze of redlines, legal reviews, and back-and-forth emails. Every day spent waiting on contract approval increases the chances of a prospect going cold or choosing a faster competitor.

That’s why modern sales teams are turning to Legitt Draft, an AI-powered contract assistant built inside Microsoft Word, to accelerate the final stage of the deal cycle. It helps them generate contracts faster, reduce legal dependency, collaborate in real time, and close with confidence.

In this article, we’ll break down how Legitt Draft empowers sales teams to move faster – without compromising compliance – and why it’s becoming a must-have for revenue-focused organizations.

The Contract Bottleneck: Why Sales Slows Down

Here’s a typical sales workflow:

1. Prospect agrees in principle to pricing and terms
2. Sales rep sends the draft agreement to legal
3. Legal reviews and sends back redlines (often 1–3 days later)
4. Reps go back and forth with the client, legal, and finance
5. Final approval takes days, and sometimes weeks

In many cases, by the time the contract is ready, the buyer’s urgency has faded – or another vendor has stepped in with a quicker process.

Contracts shouldn’t be the slowest part of your sales cycle.

Legitt Draft: Making Contracts a Closing Tool, Not a Roadblock

Legitt Draft is an AI-powered assistant that lives inside Microsoft Word – where most contracts are already being created. It adds intelligence, automation, and collaboration features to help sales reps:

• Generate legally compliant contracts in minutes
• Receive AI-powered clause suggestions
• Understand contract risks without legal jargon
• Collaborate with legal and clients in real-time
• Track version history and approvals
• Close deals faster and with fewer delays

Let’s explore how it works.

1. Instant Contract Generation with AI-Enhanced Templates

Sales reps no longer need to start from scratch or rely on outdated files. Legitt Draft provides:

• Ready-to-use templates (NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, service agreements)
• AI prompts that adapt the contract based on deal details
• Smart clause insertion tailored to client type or industry

This reduces contract creation time from hours to minutes and ensures legal-approved language is used every time.

2. Built-In Clause Library for Consistency

In traditional workflows, reps often edit or borrow clauses from past contracts. This introduces legal risk and forces lawyers to start from zero every time.

Legitt Draft solves this by:

• Providing access to a clause library approved by legal
• Auto-suggesting compliant clauses based on the contract context
• Flagging risky edits or deviations immediately

Sales can now draft with confidence, knowing they’re using safe language.

3. Real-Time Risk Analysis – No Legal Degree Required

Not every sales rep understands legalese – and they shouldn’t have to. Legitt Draft uses AI to:

• Highlight risky or non-standard clauses
• Explain why a clause is flagged in plain English
• Offer safer alternatives or escalate to legal if needed

This empowers sales to handle 80% of standard agreements without full legal intervention – saving hours per deal.

4. Collaboration Without Chaos

Forget emailing contract files back and forth. With Legitt Draft:

• Reps, legal, and clients can collaborate live inside Word
• Comments, redlines, and approvals are all tracked in one place
• Version control ensures no one is working on the wrong file

This eliminates delays caused by communication breakdowns and version confusion.

5. Faster Approvals = Faster Closings

With Legitt Draft’s integrated approval workflows:

• Contracts can be tagged for legal, finance, or leadership review
• Approvers are notified automatically
• Sign-off happens directly within the document

No more chasing stakeholders or waiting on inbox responses. Deals keep moving.

6. Audit Trail and Version History

Every edit, approval, and comment is logged – ensuring full transparency and traceability. Sales teams can:

• See what changed between versions
• Prove when a client approved a clause
• Avoid misunderstandings that slow down closing

This builds trust internally and externally – and protects your company during negotiations.

7. Speed-to-Sign, Simplified

Legitt Draft integrates easily with e-signature tools or allows for export-ready PDFs once final approval is given. It:

• Reduces friction from Word-to-signature transitions
• Locks approved versions to prevent last-minute edits
• Creates a clean copy that’s signature-ready instantly

Sales reps can go from agreement to signature the same day.

One of the greatest challenges in revenue operations is balancing speed with compliance. Legitt Draft makes it possible to:

• Empower sales to move faster

It’s not about skipping legal – it’s about enabling legal to review faster and intervene only when needed.

Real-World Impact: A SaaS Sales Example

This resulted in 20% more closed deals per quarter – with no increase in legal headcount.
