Why We Love DocuSign

Like many other seemingly innocuous tasks that keep your business running smoothly, getting documents properly prepared and then signed is indispensable but doesn’t take up so much space in your mind.

Obviously, when it becomes a problem or costs you a little too much time or money, that’s when it becomes evident that you may need a new solution to get it done. In fact, it’s possible that you’re already wasting time and money if you’re still committed to using paper for these documents.

There are a few concerns that many business owners have that keep them from utilizing eSignature software, mainly security, but there is an answer to all of those concerns. That’s why we love DocuSign.

DocuSign Eliminates the Need for Scanning, Faxing, and Overnighting Documents

eSignature is one of the most valuable tools at your disposal–which so many businesses are already using–because it literally makes physical document signing completely obsolete.

Scanning paper documents, faxing them, and overnighting them with snail mail used to be unavoidable, and we didn’t blink an eye because we accepted that process as the only way to complete the task. Now you can get all of this done electronically.

How Electronic Signatures Work with DocuSign

First of all, it’s always free to use for the person who is signing a document to make the signing process as painless as possible, and if you’re signing, that goes for you, too. To get started, you can prepare a document in no time at all by using a common type such as an NDA or Purchase Order, or you can upload your own files, such as a PDF or Word document.

Once you select the document that you need, drag and drop fields where the signer will need to fill in their own information, their initials, and of course, their signature. You can even add multiple signers if needed.

When it’s ready, just send it out to their email, and you’re done. Whoever is signing the document can then easily see what they need to fill out and sign it either by using one of the saved signatures or write their own signature in on the screen.

“Making your mark” electronically (eSignature) is every bit as legally binding as a normal signature. They email it back to you when they’re finished, and the process is complete.

Sign Documents from Just About Anywhere

Signing documents electronically already saves you a lot of time, but when you add the ability to do it using any device, you cut down on time even more.

Not only can you prepare documents from your phone, tablet, or computer, but users can also use the same devices to sign and send them back to you. No one will need to get back to the office before they can sign, and not to mention, they won’t have time to change their minds about important deals.

An added benefit is that DocuSign works with the apps that everybody already has: Gmail, Google Drive, Outlook, Dropbox, Microsoft Word, and a lot more. It’s a seamless process with the least amount of friction possible.
