Speed-up Contract Signing with EchoSign

As a small business owner who specializes in providing Administrative Consultant services, I have a system for guiding clients through my initial consultation. However, when it came to sending and receiving my agreements, my process was manual and cumbersome. I had to get the client to sign an agreement, counter-sign, distribute the agreement, then file a hardcopy. I knew I had to find a program that would enable me to get agreements back faster, make the process simpler and easier for everyone, AND not cost hundreds of dollars a month. Echosign fit the bill perfectly!

What is EcoSign?
EchoSign is an online digital signature service that automates the entire contracting process for any size business. They cut contract processing time from 2-3 weeks to two days. Some people have even reported closing deals in minutes! Echosign makes it easy for business owners to win more business.

How Does It Work?
When you upload your contract document into EchoSign, their secure webmail system turns it into a digital copy. Every contract is instantly viewable, providing everyone with real-time visibility into the contract status.

The system flexibly supports both written and e-signatures, allowing you to offer either option to clients. EcoSign “signed and filed” email ensures that all parties receive a copy of the executed contract at the same time and can access it anytime via email. The audit trail helps determine the current state of the contract including when the contract is viewed by the client.

Benefits
If your objective is to eliminate the manual, cumbersome process of getting a customer contract signed, the benefit of using EchoSign is evident because it reduces the contract time from weeks to days, even hours sometimes.
You are able to cut back on some of your manual, less productive, tasks associated with contract finalization which helps you to focus more on your client relationship and less on the associated paperwork.

Here a couple more benefits I just love about EchoSign are:

All pages of the contract are kept together in tidy order. That’s not always the case when you are using a fax machine or when you print out your word document.

The document is locked except for the signature field which prevents clients from deleting or altering your standard clauses.

It provides you with an automatic filing system. You can go into any of your client contracts and see the actual executed agreement.

How Much Does It Cost?
EcoSign has five account options depending on your usage. Since I am a sole proprietor with no employees, their free account for 1 user and up to 5 signatures per month was all that I needed. I know that I have the option to upgrade my account any time in the future should that become necessary. Their pricing page will give you the full account breakdowns.

To Your Success!
