HOW TO BUILD A CUSTOMER BASE

There are so many helpful sites on the internet where you can find several database of company listings. Some even have the link to go direct to the company website and sign-up. Those who do not have a sign-up option, consider finding an email on the site and email them asking them to email you a notary package.

Now I have scanned in a copy of my certificates, E&O insurance, Bonding, Certifications, and a signed copy of a W-9. This makes things quicker to find instead of digging them out each time to make a copy when I want to sign up with a company. I thought this would allow me to just email the whole thing off instead of faxing which would save paper, printing and long distance charges, however, you still need to sign their agreement. If you can sign it and scan it in and they have an email address available to submit that saves a bunch of $ and time.

My scanner is a bed/window one. I don't have the option to set up a stack of pages to scan in simultaneously. As such, I still print them all and fax them. This does have an advantage. I have set up binders. Each time I fax a new application to a company I add those items to my binder in alphabetical order. Consider using a different color divider for each year still putting them in the binder in alphabetical order. This way, down the road, you can see what year you set up with them. If you have not done any business with them consider updating your information with them and maybe even a phone call to see why they have not used you.

When you are searching up these companies, it is always best to see what areas they currently cover. There is no sense signing up with a company that doesn't cover your area.

Signing up with all these companies is time consuming. Consider doing it when you have a couple days to devote to it.

I am hesitant to provide a list of sites to find company directories.  I am not looking to endorse any specific sites at this time. A search on the internet will bring up a multitude of which you can determine which to use. You can also do a search for Signing Companies and Title and Escrow Companies and look at their website to see if they have a notary sign up section.

New Developments: The United Notary Association has a Business Directory of approximately 200 Title Companies and Signing Services to sign up with. www.mwna.net There is a forum with lots of information about which companies are good to work for and which ones to stay away from.

If you have questions about becoming a Signing Agent or questions that pop up as a Signing Agent the 'Notary Voice' forum at the United Notary Association website has lots of good information.

The United Notary Association at www.mwna.net also has a free basic membership which will get you listed in the Notary Locator. They currently have 1600+ Mobile Notaries and Signing Agents listed nationwide. This also means they have over 1600 members. They have just put in a Notary Supply Store called Notary Central Supplies. Be sure to check it out.

Any information or supplies you can't find, just email them. They are very quick to respond with a helping hand.
