@number1tennia Hmmm . . . What is your background? Do you have experience in Real Estate? Do you have experience in Mortgage Lending? Do you have experience in Banking? Etc. ad nauseam . . . =\> just know that you’re launching a _ **business** _ and the **onus is upon you** to create the best foundation possible from the onset. See this thread for additional information: Most newbies find they’re ill-prepared if they’ve _ **only successfully completed the NNA certification** _ as a Professional Signing Agent [PSA]. See my notes about this topic within the following thread: Be quite CAUTIOUS about any business entity hawking their wares during the current DOWNTURN within this business sector. They’re selling you the 'sizzle," but NONE of the steak . . . Also, take the time to **Research & vet a new client** via the **Notary Cafe** forum for slow/Non-Payment business entities **BEFORE** you complete ANY work for them. There are multiple business entities that are requesting assignment of Signing Orders but are non-payment . . . This is found within the _ **Search Function** _. Nearly all members find it _ **quite difficult/nearly impossible to locate** _ the **Search Function** in order to access the wealth of info available within the database. To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [_see below_] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/notarycafe/original/3X/3/1/31538837c8f17363ddc97ab51ff9cc1aeff4199c.png) _Accessing the database to locate info about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . ._ 🦢 ====== Some helpful threads for you: > [@I need help with calculating the true costs of doing business](http://forum.notarycafe.com/t/i-need-help-with-calculating-the-true-costs-of-doing-business/29848/5): > > It would be in your best interest to jot down all of the expenses associated with performing the services you provide within your service region to determine a baseline operating cost.

I’m a NSA out of Michigan and have been one for the past 7 years. I usually pull in at least 8k worth of business every month but it takes a LONG time to get to that point. I see a ton of newer notaries looking to make fast money or expecting SS or TC to come to them over seasoned notaries while they have very little experience. A few tips that I’d sug… ====== Notary2Pro is _ **highly recommended** _ by us sages here on the **Notary Cafe** forum & many others who’ve taken myriad training programs. _ **My personal experience:** _ When I initially started performing this work, I _ **successfully completed MULTIPLE training/certification programs** _ including Notary2Pro & NNA and many others. I have extensive experience in skill sets that require certification and recurrent evaluation tests; i.e., I’ve maintained my Project Management Professional [PMP] certification for more than 20 years. So, I understand what it usually entails and the elements that should be included within a comprehensive training program. Regarding the NNA training specifically, it’s lacking across multiple topics & categories. Many NNA “graduates” choose to take additional training courses elsewhere, because they sense they’re insufficiently prepared. Their primer has errors throughout. Their hotline is less than reliable for accurate responses. In my experience with undergoing the multiple training programs for certified notary signing agent [CNSA] certification, hands-down without question, Carol Ray’s Notary2Pro training programs are optimum in this industry. I’ve successfully completed ALL of the multiple training/certification programs that Carol offers through her company Notary2Pro. Her programs are thorough & detailed. These also **prepare the business owner to operate a business**. In addition, she offers Mentoring services. I found those to be excellent & INVALUABLE when I was initially starting out in this business sector. The prices are surprisingly reasonable. ✅ I’ve professionally compared the training/certification programs available at Notary2Pro with the others I’ve successfully completed. The **ONLY training/certification program I recommend** is Notary2Pro. A list of companies that hire Notary2Pro graduates (with minimal or no experience) is provided to successful course graduates. =\> This list is _ **pure GOLD!** _ Study up, refresh your notes, & let Carol know when your initial few signings are scheduled. She is a wonderful mentor & can be on standby in case you encounter difficulties or have questions during your first few signings. She’s the Best! Her support will help you Build your Confidence in providing this service. 🏆✅ In addition, Notary2Pro works diligently to keep this list up-to-date regarding vetting and viability. As we all know, some reliable clients can encounter financial difficulties and that, in turn, can negatively impact CNSAs directly. Of course, your best bet would be to visit their website at [https://www.notary2pro.com/](https://www.notary2pro.com/), research, and make the choices appropriate for your situation. The training programs by Carol Ray are comprehensive & thorough. ✨🎉🕶 _P.S. I receive no compensation or remuneration of any type or kind as a result of my first-hand experiential review above._ P.P.S. Unfortunately, **Carol has passed from our earthly plane.** I hope she Rests In Peace. _I’m grateful to have made her acquaintance and studied under her tutelage._ --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.notarycafe.com/t/anyone-have-experience-with-loan-signing-system/41543)._
