So shortly after I posted this, customers bombed me with rush requests nearly all at once. A guy at the Ritz Carlton Hotel claimed if I didn’t come soon he’d lose a $50 million contract for instance. It was such a crazy day.
Yesterday’s post.
I’m in San Francisco. When SPAM calls arrive every morning and recall again throughout the day I’m suddenly not getting any customer calls for days now. My suspicion is someone has hacked my phone number. I still get texts, but most of them are also SPAM of biz loan offers and politicians. My emails have also increased with putrid SPAM ads again.
Maybe it’s a coincidence but it could also be the fear people are going through with media reports on the collapse of the dollar or something that’s put notary work as a low priority for now? Has anyone had this happen lately?
@CherylM Hmmm . . . sorry to read about this scenario . . .
I concur, in general, there is a definitiveINCREASE in spam calls offering immediate cash loans, etc. as well as spam emails.
It may be beneficial to have your cell phone service provider Activate the SPAM BLOCKER function (if it’s not already activated) and do the same with your email accounts.
Of course, one is unable to BLOCK all spam . . . just do your best to reduce the spam in the ways that are available to you at this time.
Next, reach out to your cell phone service provider to see if they can check the status of your phone being hacked . . . then, follow their suggestions from that juncture.
After that, reach out directly to a few of your favorite clients & ‘touch base’ with them to check on the current workload or to ask them if there are any supporting certification documents they may need at this point in time, etc. Since it’s NOT the End-of-the-Month RUSH time, it should be okay to give them a quick status update check call . . .
Hopefully, these suggestions will give you some ‘traction’ in regard to getting things back into balance for your business.
