Why your sales team needs HubSpot document signing

‍

Implementing HubSpot document signing boosts your team's productivity, while clients enjoy a smooth, hassle-free signing experience. This integrated approach not only enhances efficiency but also elevates the overall customer experience, driving greater success for your sales team.

By leveraging automated workflows and pre-built templates, your sales reps can finalize deals more swiftly and efficiently, enhancing the end customer’s experience. Real-time tracking and auto-filled documents ensure precision, which keeps both your team and your customers satisfied, leading to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty.

What are the benefits of a HubSpot eSignature integration?

Connecting Dropbox Sign with your HubSpot CRM offers a suite of digital-first benefits that streamline the sales process.

‍

Time saving: Utilize templates for faster, smoother sending

Using templates in your HubSpot CRM allows you to swiftly send out standardized documents, ensuring consistency and saving valuable time. This integration allows you to pre-fill data fields, ensuring accuracy and saving time—like Symphonic who leveraged over 60 pre-built templates to send out 400+ signature requests monthly, saving countless hours in the process.

The seamless workflow reduces the potential for errors and accelerates the entire process, from document creation to sending. By automating these steps, your sales team can focus more on engaging with leads and closing deals rather than administrative tasks.

With Dropbox Sign's easy template creation and integration capabilities, you can upload documents, designate signers, insert necessary fields, and send contracts directly within HubSpot.

You can also easily turn contracts, NDAs, proposals, and more into ready-to-use templates—so you don’t have to start from scratch every time.

‍

Error reduction: Minimize data entry errors with autofill features

With the ability to autofill data from your HubSpot CRM into your templates, there will be less data entry work, fewer errors, and more time closing deals. Additionally, the integration ensures that all signed documents are automatically stored and organized within HubSpot, providing easy access and maintaining a complete record of all interactions. This not only improves efficiency but also enhances the overall customer experience by making the signing process more convenient.‍

‍

Enhanced efficiency: Automated workflows and reduce manual tasks

Using siloed applications may seem manageable, but they often hinder productivity and introduce errors. Dropbox Sign for HubSpot eliminates these barriers by automating contract signing processes. This means no more manual tracking or follow-ups, drastically reducing the chance for mistakes.

The Dropbox Sign for HubSpot eSignature integration automates multi-signer requests directly from your CRM. After the first signer completes their part, Dropbox Sign automatically sends a request to the next person, eliminating the hassle of managing the signing process.

Additionally, Dropbox Sign sends automatic reminders for unsigned documents, saving you from manually chasing down unresponsive signees. This allows you to focus on closing deals, while eSignatures handle the behind-the-scenes tasks seamlessly and efficiently.

‍

Stay informed and improve responsiveness with real-time tracking and alerts

Monitoring multiple signature requests doesn't have to be a stress. With the HubSpot eSignature integration, tracking the status of signatures is straightforward and efficient.

As soon as a request is sent out, the signature status updates in real-time on the Dropbox Sign CRM card within HubSpot. This allows you to effortlessly monitor who has received, opened, and signed a signature request, and identify any overdue actions.

‍

Seamless document management: Automatically organize and store signed documents within HubSpot

Additionally, all signed contracts and documents are automatically saved to their corresponding HubSpot records. This seamless integration ensures that all documents are organized and easily accessible for every team member, streamlining your document management process and enhancing overall efficiency. As a result, your team can quickly retrieve any document, respond to customer inquiries promptly, and maintain a high level of service.

‍

Improved customer satisfaction: Provide a smooth, hassle-free signing experience

Providing a smooth, hassle-free signing experience is key to enhancing customer satisfaction. With the Dropbox Sign and HubSpot integration, customers benefit from a fast and efficient signing process, which eliminates delays and frustrations.

By reducing manual errors and administrative tasks, your team can focus more on customer interactions and less on paperwork. The real-time tracking and automated reminders mean that your customers and clients receive timely updates and can complete signing processes quickly and efficiently. This not only speeds up the entire transaction process but also enhances the overall customer experience, leading to higher satisfaction and loyalty.
