Illustrative Case Study

Based on realistic usage patterns and typical results reported by users — not a verified customer story. Numbers are illustrative.

The Problem

A digital agency was building proposals in PowerPoint, exporting to PDF, emailing them, waiting for a printed signature, and scanning it back. Average proposal-to-signed-contract: 14 days. They were losing deals to faster-moving competitors.

→

The Solution

Switched to PandaDoc ($19/user/mo). Built a reusable proposal template. Proposals now generated in 20 minutes, sent via link, signed electronically in one click. Live 'document opened' notifications let them follow up at the right moment.

✓

The Result

Average close time dropped from 14 days to 5 days — a 64% improvement. Proposal creation time: from 4 hours to 20 minutes. Won 3 deals in month one that they attributed directly to faster turnaround.

💡 ROI Estimate: Cost: $38/mo (2 users). Extra revenue from faster closing in month 1: $18,000. Ongoing: 2–3 extra deals per quarter.
