    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions.

    Do you know exactly how much your sales pipeline is worth in euros right now, without looking?

    No → that is a sign your sales tracking lacks structure. Pipedrive or a Notion database with value + stage + follow-up date = immediate visibility on projected revenue.

    Are you using a separate e-signature tool?

    Yes → for a solo, Yousign (free up to 10 signatures/month) or a written 'agreement confirmed' by email has equivalent legal value for most missions. DocuSign at €40/month is overkill.

    Does your proposal arrive by email as a PDF or as a link?

    PDF → a public Notion link or a shared Canva presentation reads as more professional and eliminates 'do you have the latest version?' at the end of negotiation.
