The question asked how somebody would pay for an unexpected $400 expense. If you answered “credit card” then you were considered to not have the cash to cover an emergency. I’d use a credit card…and pay it off when it’s due.

We use Docusign because after all of the hard work to close a deal, we want to make sure we get the signature and the signer doesn’t have to learn a new signature tool. Signers like Docusign because all of their signed docs are in one place
