Faster contract signing

In January, a marketing agency in Texas lost a client. The contract was approved, the budget confirmed, deadlines were tight.

‍

But the client’s CEO flew to Berlin, and the agreement sat unsigned for five days. In the meantime, a competitor stepped in with a slightly better offer and closed the deal.

‍

This happens more often than you’d think. Business isn’t just about price or quality anymore. Speed wins deals. And outdated document flows lose them.

‍

While some wait on printers and PDFs, others close the deal from their phones.

‍

‍

Automate the repeatable

‍

Still filling out every new contract in Word? Still copy-pasting company names and dates?

‍

Upload your contract template once into your electronic signature software, set the fields, and reuse it with every client.

‍

That’s contract automation. Companies that adopt this approach cut document prep time by up to 70%.

‍

‍

‍

Let reminders do the work

‍

You send the contract. Nothing happens. You nudge them in Slack, then in email. They say “Ah, forgot about that.”

‍

A good esignature platform sends reminders automatically: 1 day, 3 days, 1 week. You don’t follow up, it does. That small automation increases completion rates by up to 80%.

‍

‍

Signing from any device

‍

More than 70% of e-signatures are completed on mobile. That means your contract needs to work perfectly on a small screen, no PDF downloads, no awkward scrolling.

‍

Clients want to open, sign, and close the document in 60 seconds. If they can’t, they’ll postpone. And postponed often means lost.

‍

‍

‍

Visibility is control

‍

Where’s the document? Who opened it? Why isn’t it signed?

‍

With an audit trail, every step is visible: open times, viewer info, IP logs. You know exactly who did what and when. That level of tracking doesn’t just save time, it prevents mistakes.

‍

‍

Built-in document security

‍

A real digital contract includes a secure, encrypted signature. Any edits after signing invalidate the file. That’s how you prevent tampering and stay protected in case of disputes.

‍

If your contract is just a PDF with a name typed in, it’s not secure and likely not enforceable.
