Watch the entire episode below and learn how: 

​Meeting Douglas and The Possibility of Building a Direct Business

Douglas is no ordinary notary signing agent, he is a proud graduate of the Loan Signing System - the same program that has helped over 60,000 notaries build a successful signing agent business.

One common misconception when working as a notary signing agent is  getting direct business, earning $150 per appointment instead of the average $75 per appointment, is too difficult while holding a full-time job. 

However, Douglas' story challenges this misconception.

He firmly believes that success in the industry is possible with the right strategies and tactics. 

Douglas’ journey proves that you can balance a full-time job and earn the highest paying signing appointments in the industry - getting direct business from mortgage professionals, bypassing signing services.

​Overcoming Fear and the Goal of Marketing 

Feeling scared and nervous when marketing your business is common, and Douglas experienced these same emotions.

This vulnerability is something most notary signing agents can relate to. 

Yet despite these feelings, Douglas was determined to take action, demonstrating that success often lies just beyond our comfort zones.

Douglas’ initial goal during his first office visit was not to secure immediate signings. 

Instead, he aimed to establish relationships and obtain business cards. 

In the notary signing agent industry, trust and connections are essential to your success. 

Douglas understood that building a foundation of trust from the very beginning would set the stage for future success. 

He also found a unique angle by emphasizing his military base access to stand out among the competition.

The First Successful Pitch

One of the most crucial moments in Douglas' journey was his first successful pitch to a receptionist at an escrow office.

Instead of treating the receptionist as a mere gatekeeper, Douglas approached her as if she were the escrow officer herself.

This approach showcased the importance of building trust right from the start.

As a result, he left with a business card and the promise of a follow-up, demonstrating that persistence and professionalism pay off.

This small victory reinforced the importance of taking action and achieving incremental successes.

Douglas' commitment to follow up with the branch manager to provide value exemplifies his dedication to building meaningful relationships and delivering exceptional service.

​Finding Time to Market with a 9-5

​You might wonder how Douglas manages to balance a full-time job that runs from 5:30 AM to 3:30 PM with his notary signing agent work. 

The key lies in effective time management. 

Douglas dedicates his late afternoons, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, to marketing efforts. 

This targeted approach allows him to focus on building his direct business during the busiest hours of escrow offices.

PLUS - most signings occur during the evenings or on weekends which makes being a notary singing agent the best part-time side hustle. 

Utilizing Military Base Access to Get More Business

Douglas possesses a unique advantage: access to military bases. 

He leverages this advantage to attract clients who require notary services on military bases, offering a valuable last-minute solution for escrow officers.

​This strategy underscores the importance of identifying and capitalizing on one's strengths to provide exceptional service.

​The Follow-Up Process

Follow-ups are essential for building and nurturing client relationships in your notary loan signing business. 

Douglas has developed an effective follow-up process, sending personalized emails visiting an office using scripts from the Loan Signing System course. 

These emails introduce him, highlight the value he can provide, and include relevant credentials.

Douglas' approach emphasizes the importance of appearing organized and professional in all communications.

​Building Relationships Through Persistence

​By focusing on delivering exceptional service and making escrow officers' jobs easier, notary signing agents can build trust and credibility.

Douglas recognizes that not every office visit will result in an immediate signing, but he remains committed to returning to the same offices multiple times.

Douglas understands that building trust and relationships with escrow officers is a long-term goal that pays dividends in the end.
