How To Use Electronic signature in CRM

Sometimes we really don’t understand what we mean under “best”, even this question doesn’t elaborate what the best service means? Which criteria the author believes the service fits the best? price?best design? Reliability?Let’s better talk about “suitable” for this moment and current needs.As the previous answers mentioned, do you need the service to be available on all major platforms or a signature that will stand up in court?Do you need a free simple solution, a feature-rich service that charges on the amount of signatures/documents signed or on monthly basis?Do you need to work with your documents on the go with low or no internet connection (while travelling, in the airport or plane)?And you can ask yourself with tons of such questions to create a matrix of features-service to choose the one you need. Or you can use 3rd party platforms like Alternativeto to initially select the provider you are interested in.When we conducted a closed beta testing for signNow recently, one of the goals was to understand the main criterias SMB owners from US use to choose a solution or switch to another one.We interviewed more than 230 businesses and what’s interesting, while the top factor goes to Security&data privacy, price or for example, digital signature availability is not in Top-3 of choices. Speed of an app/solution and multiplatform availability (works in web browser as well as on Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android and Windows devices) are what values higher.So, if there is a need to sign/send documents on Mac, iphone/ipad, android, windows and web browser and to work with documents offline, signNow is alternative to go with. We are still in beta, implementing some major requests from our beta users, but will be launching this September.And, signNow is free while in beta.

Coaching  .... they have been in the game longer and most likely have had a lot more facetime with clients, partners, and CEOs than younger managers/reps and their advice can help save/advance careers Time .... to this day guys like Ellison, Hurd, and Duffy will go and meet with clients directly to close sales or build relationships ... your VP of sales should be no different in getting involved in major deals to show the client that the entire organization is behind the rep. Build the culture/ Appropriate vision ....This sort of goes with my first comment in regards to facetime with CEOs. I have now seen 2 VP Sales simply quit on the company they were with when they were given an unrealistic quota for the next year by their CEO, which then gets translated to unrealistic quotas for all of the companies reps. Most places will try and give you a stretch goal to give you something to go after but in these cases each rep only hit 30-40% of their quota the next year.  Your VP will need to have the sway and data to suggest an accurate forecast for the following years sales based on existing pipeline and traditional or expected growth in pipeline based on specific factors like an increase in headcount, increase in marketing budget, growth in market adoption rate but something that makes sense as opposed to now everyone will need to double their production with the same tools. Not everyone is a juggernaut in terms of growth and if your company is more of a myspace than a facebook your VP sales and hopefully CEO will adjust their goals according to their position. Remember in most industries 80% of all profits are made by the top 2-3 companies in that industry.

There are a number of ways in which electronic signatures can be used in a business. The main purpose of using electronic signatures is to eliminate paperwork. Every task or process taking place in an organisation involves huge amount of paperwork. This colossal task can be made easier by making use of e-signatures in the business processeses. The time wasted on handling all the paperwork, can be spent on indulging into more productive activities, which may be beneficial for the business. Thus, increasing productivity. Also, the money that a business spends on faxing, couriers, print, ink, etc. may seem negligible at the time, but in the long run, they may seem to be large.

Completion of documents that earlier took days, can now be completed within minutes, within the click of a button. Completed documents tend to please your clients, and it helps in retaining them and building lifetime value. Furthermore, the businesses making use of electronic signatures are less prone to human error, as the probability of committing errors is reduced by a whopping 75 percent, as compared to those businesses, which are not making use of them.Also, in the case of the traditional wet ink paper signatures, anyone can get their hands on your documents.

Ah yes.The lifestyle of the rich and famous. Fast cars. Fancy outfits.Little stone statues at the front of the entryway. The allure is undeniable.And for real estate agents, the chance to eat a slice of the luxury pie is an alluring prospect indeed. ...Especially if that slice comes in the form of a 3% commission off of a multi-million dollar listing. But how does a realtor establish themselves as a luxury agent in the first place?Well, it’s not easy. You can obtain a GREL Certification, for starters.This will walk you down the path of becoming a legitimate, certified luxury real estate agent. But regardless, one thing is certain,To deal with luxury real estate, an agent needs to buckle down.Here are a five powerful tips that could fast track your goals to becoming a Luxury real estate agent.#1 YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOINGBefore you even think of moving forward, ask yourself… do I know what I’m doing? There are many newbie real estate agents that jump from taking the test to becoming a luxury real estate agent.Unless you already have the background and experience in real estate, I strongly suggest you get some experience under your belt. That experience could help you avoid lawsuits and save you money.Simply taking 6 months to learn the ropes at a local real estate brokerage, while shadowing another successful luxury real estate agent, could be the difference in your failure or success. That extra experience will help you feel more confident when taking on a luxury listing and the mentor will help you develop the skills needed to be the greatest in your field.#2 YOU NEED TO LOOK THE PARTNormally we encourage real estate agents to relax and be themselves. Your clients will love you and appreciate your authenticity.Are you the laid back but trusted Realtor who wears jeans and flip flops every day? Show that in your marketing. Are you the young and modern Realtor with a focus on minimalism and technology? Show that in your marketing. I encourage agents to use their personality to market their businesses.However, when you are transitioning to luxury real estate, you need to figure out a way to make sure that your marketing and your style represents the luxury industry. Luxury real estate is a visual niche. The house, the car, the owners, the buyers and the agent all look the part.How to look like a luxury real estate agent? Here are some tipsPay for luxury branding – Make sure everything, from your website and business cards to your signs and advertising, is designed and printed to represent your luxury clientele.Dress to impress – Make sure your clothing is clean, pressed and tailored. First impressions go a long way when trying to win a listing. Just starting out? Purchase one or two neutral suits and multiple dress shirts/blouses. Keep them dry cleaned and wear those when meeting new clients or networking. The suits will be so neutral many won’t recognize you’ve worn it before. Switch up the blouses and/or dress shirts and you’ll always look professional and put together.Drive a nice car – It may sound vain, but in the luxury industry it is a necessity to make sure your car is nice, especially if you are driving luxury buyers around to look at homes. Your car should not only look nice but it should be clean and smell good as well. If you can't afford a luxury car, try Uber, a peer to peer taxi service, allows you to taxi luxury cars. Using Uber, you can sit in the back with your clients and they will get that luxury experience while going on walkthroughs.The only thing to look out for when using any taxi service is timing. This is why I don’t suggest using a taxi service when meeting with a seller unless you are paying them to wait for you outside. After presenting an amazing listing presentation you don’t want to be chilling around at a client’s house waiting for your ride.#3 YOU NEED TO UTILIZE THE LATEST IN REAL ESTATE TECHNOLOGYIf you want a luxury buyer to hire you as their agent or if you want to win a luxury listing, you need to show clients that you can provide them with the latest in real estate marketing and technology. Make sure you understand how to utilize the latest technology to find and market homes and that you can effectively combine that knowledge with traditional techniques.Remember, just having flashy tools isn’t enough. You need to know how to use them effectively to increase the client’s ROI.Technology Used by Luxury Real Estate AgentsElectronic signature softwareShowing feedback softwareInteractive yard signsBeautifully designed websites with powerful home search enginesActive social media and blogsCloud document storageVirtual phone numbersThe latest gadgets (Touch screen laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc.)#4 YOU NEED A LISTING PRESENTATION THAT WOWSTo win a luxury listing, you need to do more than click through a generic PowerPoint and pass out faded flyers and postcard examples. Instead – tweak your presentation to the property. Imagine the impression you’ll make when the seller sees a postcard with their house on it? And marketing that caters to their neighborhood and their current needs?Making those extra steps to personalize your listing presentation is worth the investment.Here are some key points to help you out.Pay for luxury branding – Make sure your listing presentation, listing package and examples are all professionally designed and printed to represent your luxury brand.Memorize your presentation – Although no two listing presentations will ever be the same, knowing the foundation of your presentation will be valuable. It will allow you to quickly and easily skip sections, answer questions without getting off-track and help you sound professional and knowledgeable about marketing real estate.Encourage participation – Get the sellers involved by allowing them to pretend to be buyers. Show them what happens when they text the number on the yard sign. Take them on a walk-through of their listings from your point of view. Luxury sellers are constantly being “sold” to. To get an edge, show them exactly why they should hire you. Actions speak louder than words.#5 YOU NEED TO SUPERCHARGE YOUR FOLLOW UPPotential clients searching for or selling traditional homes need basic follow-up strategies to convert them into clients. Those strategies include using the information collected in your CRM to send them email marketing, postcards and the occasional phone call.In retrospect, potential clients searching for or selling luxury homes need traditional follow-up combined with action to convert them into clients. Just sending a card that says happy birthday isn’t enough. For wealthy clients, sending gifts on birthdays and invitations to exclusive events in the area are key to establishing a healthy lead flow. Here are few tipsRemember the details – When you run into a potential luxury client, whether by chance or by a scheduled meeting, take notes and/or memorize the small details of their life. These small details include spouses, children, hobbies, vacation spots, etc. Make sure you put these things into your CRM and use these details to come up with innovative follow-up techniques.Use partner resources – Developing a lead funnel for luxury clients can be costly. This is why it is imperative to have partners that can provide discounts and resources to luxury amenities.The decision to buy and/or sell a luxury home isn’t an easy one. The real estate sales and lead cycle is already a long one – add in the luxury component and the lead cycle can be even longer. Don’t be discouraged if a potential client hasn’t responded after following up with them for longer than 3 months. Many times, they are busy, on vacation, or dealing with business. Unless they say “remove me from your list” keep marketing. You’ll be in the front of their minds when they are ready to hire a real estate professional.

A lot of the postings here are quite dated -- and this is a really important question -- so I'll weigh in with a few considerations/thoughts. I want to make it clear that I work for signNow, and run the signNow EchoSign team. While this potentially invites skepticism, I've attempted to be as factual as possible. Many organizations are switching to EchoSign these days for the following: 1.) EchoSign is easier to use, especially for your signers. Consistent with a # of the reveiws here already, folks just find EchoSign more intuitive. On average, there are 20 - 30% fewer clicks needed for signers with EchoSign. EchoSign also probably does a bit more to make sure that *your* company branding comes through in your communications [as opposed to signNow or signNow's brand]. EchoSign takes a tablet-first approach for the signer in terms of UX. 2.) Quality of support. This is an area where signNow has done a major investment in last 6 months [which frankly was really needed] and now is a key reason that folks are switching. Accounts aren't randomly turned off. And free chat-based support is always available. 3.) The integration of EchoSign into CRM and Cloud Computing To Grow Your Business - Salesforce.com [ http://Salesforce.com ] is easier to setup, manage, and run. You don't need to know how to write code to get the integration up and running. User review scores on the salesforce AppExchange are dramatically higher: 4.9 (out of 5) for EchoSign vs 4.6 for signNow. 3.) 99.999% of what gets signed is a PDF. signNow invented PDF, and is doing a great deal of work to deeply integrate EchoSign across its digital document portfolio: the Reader and Acrobat have rich integration here to ensure that eSignatures work seamlessly with your digital document workflow. 4.) EchoSign is the only eSignature service that is backed by a publicly traded company. signNow is a strategic partner to the world's largest companies, with a focus on long-term partnerships. signNow has been rated as one of the world's greenest companies (Newsweek), one of the most *ethical* companies (EthiSphere), and one of the Top 100 places to work (Forbes). 5.) Security. PCI, HIPAA compliant, 256-bit encryption, and SOC Type II datacenters. And a roadmap for 2014 that includes native digital signature integration as well as advanced document protection via digital rights management. 6.) Beyond the above, signNow EchoSign delivers unique innovations that are key for a growing # of companies: advanced multi-language support, custom branding, dynamic content fields, leading integrations with CRM systems, advanced library and storage capabilities, and more. System uptime was a tough issue for EchoSign in 2012 and early 2013, but this is now basically on par [and in fact much better if you compare last 10 months of the respective trust sites]. EchoSign's billing was a source of challenge historically, but this too has been addressed. Companies using EchoSign include United Healthcare, Twitter, TimeWarner Cable, Google, Groupon, Foxtons and more, driving almost 3M contracts/month. In sum, competition is a good thing for consumers; and signNow EchoSign has improved much faster than some expected. So definitely time to take a look here.
