DocuSign : and Salesforce Streamline the Quote to Cash Process Through Expanded Strategic Partnership

Up to 50%of B2B sales are won by the vendor that responds first. Therefore, regardless of whether you are sending a quote, proposal, sales order or a general RFP response, you need to move quickly. In addition to responding quickly, first impressions have a significant impact on whether or not a potential customer decides to do business with you-and we all know you only get one first impression.

To help you respond first and best to opportunities, Salesforce and DocuSign have teamed up to enable our customers to automate the generation of custom, complex quotes. By streamlining key components of the quote to cash process, DocuSign and the new Salesforce Revenue Cloud are able to boost the speed, accuracy and efficiency of getting deals done.

'We enable our customers to build complex quotes within our CPQ solution,' says Pascal Yammine, SVP & GM of Salesforce Revenue Cloud. 'With DocuSign Gen, those quotes can be rendered as well-formatted, signature-ready documents.'
