I wanted to ask for advice on the best way to handle adding additional training such as through Notary Stars and which level to start at? I am commissioned in TN since April 2024 and have been working primarily as a NSA but would like to increase my work flow as I am only getting 3-5 signings a week, if I’m lucky.
I started in 2021. Never have taken training I paid for. There are good tutorials from Coast 2 Coast on YouTube that I found useful. In the beginning I paid for lots of annual bells and whistles and I’ve learned that’s not what gets me hired. I don’t know how you measure some big jump in orders, when I’ve never seen volumn fall because I don’t have some “certified” thing from someone who wants money. That’s just me. There are platforms that say “we give preference to notaries who have x y z” - funny thing is, those platforms hire me all the time without it. Sorry if that’s not the help you’re looking for. But I’ve never seen where it would pay off for me.

Paying for additional training isn’t a for sure way to get loan signing assignments. Unless the training is giving your specialized skills development that will allow you to expand your lines of services. I am a firm believer in self-development and continuous education. May I ask you a few questions? How long have you been a loan signing agent? Have you research the market and competition? Have you determined what is needed in your geographically area and surrounding areas? Have you explored what other opportunities are available within being a Notary Public? Have you exhausted signing up with other title companies and signing services to get their business? I found other lines of services to generate more money. If you would like to talk about things, you are welcome to reach out to me.
