3 Ways eSignatures Save you Time and Money

By Danielle Basch, Leap. 

The “sign here” line carries more value when it is sent digitally. Why? Read on to discover the real value of digital signatures. 

When it comes to signatures, we often don’t think about them as things that can cost your company. But a handwritten paper signature does take time and cost your company. In fact, on average, you save $20 per document that uses a digital signature and save up to 22,000 hours a year (LunarPen 2020). Digital signatures and documents are, thus, not only more convenient and easier to use, but a great way to save your company time and money. Here are three ways digital documents can be a valuable asset to your company and why so many contractors rely on Leap to do so. 

1 - Shorten the in-home sales process  

• Save time by not having to drive back out to the customer to get the signature.   

• Shorten your sales process by not having to wait for customers to sign.   

• Get your customer’s project through to production faster. 

2 - Achieve higher close rates   

• Digital Signatures enable your sales team to handle more sales calls per day due to streamlined functionality and added efficiency.  

• No more printing, scanning, or waiting for snail mail.   

• Digital Signatures enable your clients to digitally sign the contract, saving money on gas especially if you have two homeowners in various locations needing to sign. 

3 - Enhance the customer experience 

• Create a seamless buying experience for homeowners by offering secure digital signatures.   

• Homeowners expect contractors to provide digital documents that can be signed securely.   

• Sharing documents and getting signatures digitally makes it more convenient for homeowners. Now they don’t have to change their schedule to be home to sign.  

Leap Secure Sign: Build a stronger digital sales system   

Leap has recently added a new enhancement, Leap Secure Sign. This new enhancement ensures contractors can securely and seamlessly share documents during the sales process. Leap integrates and partners with top software within the home improvement industry, giving customers a customized software ecosystem that makes sales and production processes stronger. Leap Secure Sign makes it easier for Leap customers to start getting signatures digitally without the need to sign up for a new service.   

“This new feature is part of Leap continuing to innovate for our customers. Homeowners expect contractors to provide digital documents that can be signed securely. Leap Secure Sign fills that need and saves them time, hassle and money,” says Patrick Fingles, CEO of Leap. 

How does it work?   

• Using Leap Secure Sign is as simple as generating a contract and hitting the sign button.  

• There will be a Leap Secure Sign button on the bottom right of each Signature Capture. 

• This allows individual signatures to be sent via Leap Secure Sign to different email addresses.   

• This also provides the ability to sign a signature directly on the iPad and sign a signature with Leap Secure Sign on the same document. (Example: The main signer is available to sign in person, but the cosigner is not.)
