If anyone would like to do something to overcome those five listed points. I am definitely open and willing to network. This forum is great, but it would even be greater to build off of this platform.
I’m sure several of the contributors on this forum could list five mistakes of their own that would rival those listed by the NNA. Tell you what, here are my five:
Not building a personal roster of signing services (along with title and escrow companies)
Not adopting true efficiencies in your routine print, prep and field practices
Not using relationship-building skills that lead to more assignments
Not building your own chart or program to work out your profitability model
Being undisciplined in (fill in the blank)
I’ll admit it - I am NOT perfekt. But I try darn hard and I do things that I suspect few other notaries do to ensure that my performance as a notary-signing agent is about as good as I can make it. I have some nice features and tricks I use that make me memorable - so much so, in fact, that a nice chunk of my business is from signers that ask for me by name because of how I handled their assignment (for me, it’s an assignment - not an order). My colleagues out there in notaryland need to put on their thinking caps (yeah, I’m that old) and forget about the $100K earnings potential and get creative. Do all the things NNA suggests, then do the things I suggest. Now, the rest of y’all submit your five “do’s” and “don’ts” and lets see what we come up with. Since things are slow, this forum should be loaded with ideas, NO?
