  • Next, they sat down at a computer and completed an e-application together.

    • A request for electronic signature was immediately emailed to the client.

    • Accessing it via his phone, he quickly acknowledged it.

    • The client then had to leave but decided to complete his telephone interview as soon as he returned.

  • The next day, the producer was able to let the client know he was approved.
