Clean up Your Desktop and Improve Productivity with E-Signature Technology

With technological advances, such as electronic signature, we can create and implement paperless processes. Any information that comes into the office on paper, such as via fax, can be digitized with a scanner. Once you've input the data into your customer relationship management (CRM) software, you can shred and recycle the paper documents. This keeps your desk uncluttered, and you can have additional visibility into your sales process and prospects.

Why bother with a scanner and data entry? With an electronic signature and online contract execution service like DocuSign, paper documents for signature never have to enter your office again.

You no longer need to type up a contract or disclosure, fill out the signer information, mark 'x's next to spaces for the necessary signatures and initials, fax the documents and wait. You can keep waiting while your signer gets the fax from the fax machine, reads the documents, signs and return faxes it back to you. Alternatively, your signer might set it aside on his or her desk, intending to get to it later and finally signing after you followed up half a dozen times.

Wouldn't you prefer to just upload a document, fill out information about your signer(s), and have the DocuSign system send them an email with a secure link? Once your recipients click the link and the system authenticates them, they simply need to click to acknowledge that they are using electronic signature and adopt their own unique electronic signatures. Then, they read the documents and click to ESIGN where you've placed yellow stick-e-tabs. This process can take minutes instead of days. You're now free to pursue more business.

Electronic signature and online contract execution saves DocuSign's real estate customers significant time and money. Other organizations that have realized time and operational cost savings with the use of electronic signature and online contract execution include Yamaha, Great Lakes, RE / MAX, and Bellco Credit Union.
