Update on Contract Signatures!

by Kim Taylor 

We implemented e-signatures in our sales organization in September of last year.   We started out slow and then added a bunch of our portals to strictly e-signatures.

• Instead of the process being:
•  Send the agreement
• Client prints and signs
• Client faxes to us
• We print and sign along with a printed out summary form
• We fax back to client (or in some cases sent hard copies)
• They print for their records

Total low-end estimated printed pages for one agreement = 19

The process is now:

• Send the agreement
• Client e-signs
• We e-signs
• Everyone is automatically sent a PDF
• Client may or may not print

Total high-end estimated printed pages for one agreement = 12

Total low-end estimated printed pages for one agreement = 0

Here are some interesting numbers:

• Approximate agreements completed: 330
• Average number of pages: 6
• Low-end to high-end number of pages saved since September: 2,310 pieces of paper! 

And we’re only going up from here!
