How to determine where your clients who are calling located your services?
I’ve been a Notary Café Professional member from the onset of providing my professional services within this Business Sector.
I value my membership here for a variety of reasons. Regularly, clients new to me say they found me on Notary Café, which as a business owner is very helpful information to gather.
.
Although, it’s important to keep in mind that most clients don’t lead their conversation with how they located you as that’s not germane to the objective of their call.
So, in order to know where your business leads are originating from, the onus is upon you to include in your questions to new clients: “Oh, how did you locate/find my services please?”
This will help you know where your marketing budget is supporting your business and where it is lackluster . . .
.
There are only a few DIRECTORIES that are worth becoming a member of and those have FREE memberships. If someone markets to you that if you pay their membership fee that you’ll receive Signing Orders [SOs] - RUN as fast as you can the other direction . . .
Their goal is for your to part with your hard-earned money and provide NOTHING in return.
.
WHO TO ADVERTISE WITH THEN?
NOTE: Never pay for a Directory Listing.
In my direct experience of successfully completing MULTIPLE certification/training programs, the Notary2Pro courses are the ONLY ones that will serve you well for preparing you to launch, operate, & develop a business within this sector.
In addition, that Fee is for the comprehensive & complete set of courses.
NOTE: I receive no compensation or remuneration of any type or kind as a result of the first-hand experiential reference above.

Remember the adage: You get what you pay for . . .

You really do need to ensure that you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, because it will take a LOT OF WORK to be successful in this business sector AND it will take time to become established (like in any new business you launch).
This is why I have also recommended “The Entrepreneur Equation” by Carol Roth. It would have helped me SO much if I had know about it in the beginning . . .

Also, you may find this thread helpful to Review as well.
