How to Convince Someone Who's New to eSignatures

eSignatures are becoming more common, but some people still hesitate to use them 😥
Especially when dealing with new clients or external partners, this can happen more often than you'd think.
The best way to win them over? Show empathy and give clear, reassuring explanations.

1️⃣ “I’m just not sure it’s safe…”

👉 Talk about legal validity

“eSignatures are legally binding under national laws, just like handwritten signatures!”

eSignon records the signer’s identity, timestamp, and activity logs-making it harder to forge or tamper with than traditional paper contracts.
Some legal cases even show that eSignatures can offer stronger evidence than paper!
And since all contracts are automatically stored, it’s actually a more secure option.📌 Be clear and confident when addressing their concerns—safety is everything in legal agreements.

2️⃣ “I’ve never used this before…”

👉 Highlight how simple it is

“Just click the link and sign—it takes a minute!”

With eSignon, recipients don’t need an account.
They can sign in one click from a mobile message (KakaoTalk) or email.
If you add a short explanation in the request message (e.g., who the sender is or the signing order), it can ease their nerves even more.
📌 Make it sound easy—"Oh, that’s not so hard!" is the reaction you’re aiming for 😉

3️⃣ “Isn’t paper more reliable?”

👉 Emphasize efficiency and better management

“From signing to storing, everything is automatic.”

Paper contracts can get lost, damaged, or misfiled.
With eSignon, contracts are auto-saved, searchable, and backed up—making long-term contract management way easier.
Even old contracts? Just search and find in seconds.📌 This kind of efficiency really clicks with managers and operations teams.

4️⃣ “Everyone else still uses paper…”

👉 Show them the bigger trend

“Even public institutions and large enterprises are going paperless now.”

With more remote work and hybrid setups, eSignatures are becoming an essential tool across all industries—for speed, security, and convenience.
This isn’t a passing trend—it’s the new normal.
📌 Help them see that staying "familiar" might mean falling behind.
