I like to think we keep a pretty good pulse on not just electronic signature, but also general business trends. In addition to companies, organizations and professionals making the move to a digital documentation or paperless processes, more professionals are going mobile.

Why? 

Customer Service:  Clients like knowing that you will be where they want or need you to be. As busy people, you know your clients don’t want to have to drive across town to meet you at a fixed location. It’s easier for them to pop into a coffee shop to have a cup of coffee and talk business. It also gives you the flexibility you need if you’re in the service based-business.

Operational Costs: Having a physical office can be expensive and is a sunk operational cost. Some industries and business processes DO see benefits from having a physical office that everyone goes to. However, in a relationship-based business like real estate, why have a brick and mortar presence if it will be rarely used?

Jim Paulson, Broker / Owner of Progressive Realty in Boise, Idaho states:

Why build an office with only a 25% occupancy rate and shrinking!

 
Time Savings: As you travel from location to location, you ARE your office. Your car or briefcase should hold everything you need to make business happen. Having to travel between a client and an office takes precious time. Eliminate the physical office to eliminate the time consuming task of commuting to the office.

Interestingly enough, DocuSign Electronic Signature Services also provides these same benefits to its subscribers.

Customer Service: DocuSign’s flexible electronic signature service means that you can provide your clients with the signing experience you both desire. If both you and your clients enjoy the face-to-face interaction during the signing process, DocuSign provides in-person signing functionality. If you need to get signatures fast, DocuSign’s remote signing capabilities mean your signer only needs email access, a browser and internet connectivity. There’s no need to download software and it’s so easy to use, it passes the “Can My Mom Use It” test.

Operational Savings: By reducing, if not eliminating, the cost of paper, printing, ink, fax, and overnight or same day courier services, DocuSign electronic signature provides its subscribers with operational savings. With the DocuSign document dashboard, you can also manage your paperwork via DocuSign. This means you won’t need to pay someone to print, copy, scan and file hard copies anymore!

Time Savings: I hear so many stories of time savings from our customers, that I’ve written several blog posts about it. With DocuSign electronic signature, you no longer have to go through the process of creating the forms, printing them, marking them up for signature, finding a fax machine or overnight envelope, filling out the recipient information, sending, and then waiting for the other party to return the documents… only to see a missed signature or initial, restarting the entire process! Integration with major forms software and DocuSign’s template and Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR) features have helped DocuSign power users create documents for electronic signature in as few as two minutes!

DocuSign electronic signature – it’s a must for the mobile professional. You can try electronic signature for free, with DocuSign Express for Drawloop, to get a taste of what life with electronic signature might look like. However, if you want access to the DocuSign dashboard and other features we’ve mentioned, sign up for DocuSign. With a risk free, 30-day guarantee, you have nothing to lose and savings to gain.
