Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Is a signed business proposal legally binding?

Yes. When a client signs a business proposal that includes clear scope, pricing, and terms, the signature creates a legally binding agreement under the ESIGN Act and contract law principles. The signed proposal serves as the service agreement — no separate contract is required if the proposal includes sufficient contractual terms.

What should a proposal include to be legally binding when signed?

For a signed proposal to serve as a binding contract, it should include: (1) clear identification of both parties, (2) specific scope of deliverables, (3) pricing and payment terms, (4) timeline or project duration, (5) IP ownership, (6) signature block with acceptance language. A brief governing law and dispute resolution clause strengthens enforceability.

Can I track when my prospect opens the proposal?

Yes. Zignature sends a notification when the recipient first opens the signing link and shows you view count and timing. This engagement data helps you prioritize follow-up calls and understand which prospects are actively considering your proposal.

How quickly can I send a proposal after a sales call?

With a saved proposal template, you can fill in client-specific details and send in under 2 minutes — from your phone in the parking lot after the meeting. The client receives a professional, branded proposal with a signature block immediately.

Can I countersign the proposal after the client approves?

Yes. Configure sequential signing so the client signs first, then you receive an automatic notification to countersign. Your countersignature completes the contract and triggers your confirmation email to the client. The fully executed proposal is automatically stored in both parties' email and your Zignature account.

Does Zignature replace proposal software like PandaDoc or Proposify?

Zignature handles the e-signature component — getting proposals signed and legally executed. Unlike full proposal platforms, Zignature doesn't include drag-and-drop proposal builders or interactive pricing tables. Most teams combine their existing proposal document creation tool with Zignature's superior e-signature and CRM integration workflow.

Can I set pricing expiry on proposals?

Yes. Set a proposal expiry date to create urgency. When the expiry date passes, the signing link deactivates and the client sees a 'This proposal has expired' message. You receive a notification to follow up and resend with updated pricing if the client returns.

How do we handle proposals that require negotiation?

If a client wants to negotiate terms, void the original proposal and send a revised version reflecting the negotiated terms. Each version is logged in your Zignature audit trail with timestamps — creating a clear record of which version was ultimately signed.
