Let’s say you received a lead in your Zoho CRM, you could use a Zoho extension to send out a document to lead for the lead to engage with. And once they view the document and sign it using Zoho sign, you could send them another follow-up document that they can sign, read, accept, and sign. You could then convert the lead into a contact and execute a sale where you have the sealed documents sent to them using the Zoho sign extension. They could use the same means to go through the document and negotiate or convey if they want any changes and have them sign it later when they agree to the terms. Once the sale is executed, you can raise any follow-up paperwork, which you either need to sign or they need to sign to complete the transaction and keep the records.
All this time, you can have the sale signal feature within Zoho CRM keep track of these documents that have been sent out, and notify you if there are changes that are happening. This is ideally the complete sale cycle visualized using this extension based on what we’ve observed.
