My latest Twitter: @CanDoCanbe thanks! @mp_russell can I help at all?   Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Sunderland (North East)Uk Posts: 277 Obtaining signatures on booking forms I'm sure this has been raised 100's of times, but I can't find anything Those of you who work with your clients mainly via email, what is your procedure when obtaining "real" signatures to confim the work carried out? Im just trying to put together a comprehensive terms and conditions (more in depth than that on my website), however I'm not really sure how to deal with this one. I know a lot of Va's send out actual documentation to return and sign prior to work, but is this the general way of working? or is it just overlooked and that an email confirming "yes" is taken as the ok to go ahead with the work? __________________ Kels www.kellycairns.co.uk

Most time the client will just send an email to confirm. I'm sure others will pitch in here. I'd be curious to see the other responses. __________________ Carlana Charles - Ciboney Virtual Solutions Web: http://ciboneyvirtual.com Blog:http://ciboneyvirtual.com/blog

The client can either fax or mail the signed copy back i hope this answers your question

It's all virtual, no paperwork to be printed, mailed, or faxed. You can sign up for a limited free account and an e-signature is as binding as a physical one. Check it out! __________________ Sue L Canfield AwesomeAssistant.info My Blog

Most clients I either contract with via email either by the content of the email or by emailing them a contract and letting them return it to me however they choose. With some of my larger clients I include an original contract with the welcome kit I send with a pre-addressed stamped envelope for them to sign and return it to me. __________________ Rebecka Melson ~ Virtual Business Services
