For me, it has to be getting a signed letter while in the lavatory flying to Italy. Got a few stares when I let out a "YES!" from there.

WHERE is the craziest place you ever closed a deal?
15
On my Honeymoon. Had one of the bigger deals in my pipe want to close. I was in the everglades in FL, made my wife drive while I was using my phone to get the contract out
This is maybe the most sales thing I've ever heard.
Gator'dun
Perfect
Behind a dumpster next to cesars in Vegas. Room wasn’t ready, was the only quiet place close enough to still get wifi.
Thought this was going in a different direction until I finally got to “wifi.”
Haha - that’s a story for another time
Driving from NY to Florida in a hatchback with four cats. Did the whole negotiations, drafted and signed sales contracts, wire transfers, everything from my cell phone. No, I did not stop driving once.
while on a chair lift at Northstar
That's classic!
Stockholm central train station hot spotting off my phone!
That's wild. Thank God you didn't have to be on the phone.
I had to pull over while driving across the country and find a McDonalds with wifi so I could send a contract.
I've straight up sat in a gas station parking lot for the same reason.
pfffft amateurs!!!! haha
McDonald’s, church parking lots, public libraries... I’ve used wifi in all kinds of places without leaving my car.
3 drinks in while on a PTO Friday
sounds like every week
Bonus points if your equally inebriated manager is with you
on top of a bin outside the Exmouth Arms pub in London. Surprisingly good wifi
Gin really clears the air for wifi signals
great boozer
The craziest place I've ever had a contract signed was on the hood of my car.
for buying a car? lol
No silly, for selling my product! I went to their office. He came out and signed the contract in the parking lot on the hood of my car. ;)
Did you hold up a boombox and play sweet jamz
My boat, my lake, talking on the phone while bass fishing. Not that crazy, but it’s happened multiple times.
In the back of church at my sister's wedding!
I don’t have an exciting contribution to this thread and out of respect to you pros I won’t make anything up but I love the topic and the replies
From a rappel tower in Saudi Arabia while shooting flaming oil barrels with .50 cal sniper rifles and thermal scopes with their version of Navy SEALs.
In the labour room 12hrs before my son was born. Had to finalize contracts, send them out and chase signatories by sms to finally get the deal signed.
You gotta get all the stressful things cleared off your plate before you can move on the the reason you are there!
Stoned at a Red Rocks concert on the last day of the quarter... This week 😂
The first deal I closed at my current position was in the parking lot of a Bar/Restaurant in the car with my Sales Engineer. As we were pretty smashed (like 5 pitchers in) Customer returned our call, we took it and closed it on the spot. 😅 He said he liked our down to earth super friendly approach… And they tell you don’t drink and s3ll! LOL 😂
Hiking in Yosemite, barely had service but got some for quick second while standing on top of a rock to call the customer and get a docusign over
