Customer Objection What to Say
Our organization is happy
with our current version of
Acrobat.
While the version your organization currently uses may seem fine, older
versions often have hidden costs. Updates for older versions are more
frequent, which consumes IT resources and interferes with workers’
productivity. With Acrobat XI, you get:
Fewer updates—Acrobat XI requires fewer out-of-cycle updates thanks to sandbox
security.
Guaranteed support coverage—Help ensure the version of Acrobat your
organization is using is fully supported. Adobe supports only version 9*, X, and XI

Objection
What to Say
Are electronic
signatures legally
binding?
Legislation in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United
Kingdom permits the use of electronic signatures:
United States—The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act became
effective on October 1, 2000.
European Union—The EU Directive on Electronic Signatures (Directive 1999/93/EC) was
signed in December 1999 to establish a common framework for electronic signatures.
United Kingdom—The United Kingdom has adopted and implemented certain provisions
of the EU’s Electronic Commerce Directive in the Electronic Communications Act 2000,
which makes electronic signatures legally admissible.
How secure is my
information with
EchoSign ?
EchoSign is completely secure, using both email and password authentication.
All documents sent through EchoSign are encrypted with full 256-bit SSL
security, and all account data is encrypted with RSA keys. EchoSign captures
every transaction in the contract signature process and records a
comprehensive and detailed audit trail in PDF format.
