The excerpt is a short monologue by a single speaker offering sales/project-delivery advice: don't assume a deal is final until the agreement is signed and payment is on the way, and promoting a comprehensive resource (articles, tools, worksheets) to help with project kickoffs and delivery.

Don't celebrate too early. Deals collapse in the final stage, not because the proposal was bad, but because timing slipped. Wait for 2 things to happen: the agreement is signed and payment is on the way. Only then do you start delivering. If you're new to project delivery and kickoffs, I have this comprehensive resource with articles, tools, worksheets to help you deliver with excellence and to make sure your clients are happy and refer new customers to you.
