Each new year, so many of us vow to spend less money. Or hit the gym. Or travel more. Or read more. Yet, 80% of us who begin January 1 with steely resolve slip back into the comfort of routine, no matter our best intentions.
While it differs for everyone, a large reason for failed resolutions are because life simply seeps in. So many of us have our days filled to the brim, and to add another responsibility -- whether it be joining a gym, or book club, or anything else, stresses our already-packed schedules.
However, we consider the Digital Age no better time for ruthless optimism.
While we are fairly certain the tap tap of using Docusign on your device burns a minuscule number of calories, and is by no stretch of the imagination a “new hobby,” it does provide access to one of the most powerful tools we know: time.
How much time? Let’s take a look at some of the numbers:
84% of Docusign transactions are completed in less than 1 day.
62% of Docusign transactions are completed in fewer than 60 minutes.
57% of Docusign transactions are completed in fewer than 30 minutes.
51% of Docusign transactions are completed in fewer than 15 minutes.
Which means? One of the greatest thwarters of new year’s resolutions -- a lack of extra time -- can be essentially obliterated with the power of making a digital transformation.
While time saved varies for every company -- and every individual -- many organizations have reduced the average time it takes to reach an agreement by substantial amounts:
Darling Ingredients
Sustainable food, fuel, and feed company
Darling Ingredients reduced their service time from [one month to seven days](<embed data-align=) with Docusign.

Nonprofit
AAA of Washington [reduced their contract cycle time by 85%](<embed data-align=) with Docusign.
Farmgirl Flowers
Florist
Farmgirl Flowers reduced their costs by over $500 per month with Docusign.
In general, Docusign helps SMBs outperform the competition by offering an average of 25X faster turnaround time on agreements, 127% average increase in customer satisfaction scores, and an average of 80% of documents completed in a day.
