Personal anecdote time - A few years ago, I was hanging at a party in Dublin with some friends, when one of them was like "oh wait you're in tech? You should meet X he is in tech too!" and introduced me to X. X worked for DocuSign.
I spent the next 3 hours forcefully listening to a DocuSign sales pitch by that person, being followed to the bar and back with them talking to me about DocuSign, talking to other people with them standing next to us and intervening into conversation to talk about DocuSign. I tried all the tricks in the book to nicely ask that person to either leave me alone or at least not talk about DocuSign.
In the end, I just flat out told the person I'll probably never use DocuSign just because if their sales are that annoying now, I can only imagine how much worse they'll be after I give them my email. They got kind of insulted and left. Finally, I could breathe.
I'm not sure if I've ever met a more annoying salesman, and I've met a whole ton of them in my day. Can't say if it was due to their training or just personality, but from what I got they thought they are way more important in the "e-signature" game than they are. Like "billions of dollars of contracts would not happen if there was no docusign, we are the gears that make the world turn".
TLDR - They're a sales company trying to sell everyone their irrelevant piece of technology.
