Stop Guessing When Deals Are Signed—Use CPQ Integrated eSignature
Post-sale teams can’t activate, invoice, or fulfill without knowing a deal is signed. Manual email handoffs and detached PDFs delay onboarding and create messy customer experiences. CPQ-integrated eSignature notifies teams instantly, attaches signed docs to CRM, and triggers workflows automatically.
Why Not Knowing When a Deal Closes Hurts Revenue and Experience
If you’re responsible for onboarding, activation, invoicing, or fulfillment, timing is everything. But too often, deals get signed in isolation:
- Signed PDFs get buried in email threads
- Sales forgets to notify post-sale teams
- CS and Ops only find out when a customer asks, “What’s next?”
The result?
- Delayed onboarding and order fulfillment
- Missed activation timelines
- Messy handoffs that erode customer trust
Your first impression post-sale shouldn’t be confusion—it should be action.
The Core Problem: Signed Quotes Don’t Trigger Internal Action
When eSignature happens outside the quoting or CRM system:
- Teams don’t get notified when the deal closes
- The final quote may be unclear or untracked
- Signed documents aren’t attached to the opportunity
- Workflows for order creation or invoicing don’t start automatically
This creates gaps and delays that ripple across the customer journey.
The Fix: CPQ-Integrated eSignature for Seamless Handoffs
With native eSignature inside CPQ, the signed deal becomes the trigger for everything:
- Quote is signature-ready the moment it’s sent to the buyer
- When signed, the system automatically:
- Notifies the right teams in real time
- Attaches the signed doc to the CRM opportunity
- Auto-closes the deal in CRM
- Triggers downstream workflows like order creation, onboarding, invoicing, or fulfillment
No hunting. No guessing. Signed means go.
What CS and Order Management Teams Gain
- Immediate visibility into every signed deal
- Faster onboarding and activation with no waiting for handoffs
- Audit-ready documentation automatically stored in CRM
- Smoother customer experience from quote to fulfillment
Your best customer experience starts with a clean handoff—and that handoff starts the moment the deal is signed.
