I was talking with a prospective client (TC) today and was

a little bummed (just a little) by what was told to me. Long story short, I shared my fee schedule with the manager and other pertinent information about the services we provide. After my little marketing presentation, the manager told me that my fees were a little high (ouch) because they have a few notaries in the area that perform in-branch signing for $XX and out of branch signings for $XXX. Needless to say, I smiled and said thank you for your time, in addition to the standard verbiage I use in this type of situation.

After leaving, I was scratching my head wondering how can a Notary make a profit doing in-branch signing for $XX? I pose this question because I generally make $XX for loan modifications and/or the standard general notary work.

Personally I don't think there should be a difference unless the package is dramatically different/smaller. You still have to get there.

Maybe they schedule 'em back to back in-branch, so you only have to make the trip once and sign several in that trip?

When I contract with a title co

my deal was a discount price if there were more than 3 back to back. Otherwise, regular pricing. They had no problem with that.

I have offered discounts for in house work, do not have to print the docs, use toner and many times get back to back, sometimes 5 in a row. Once to get your foot in the door, and they like you, treat you like one of their own, you can usually get a bump if discussed just right.

I'm with Dorothy

If I get 3/day (usually back to back) they get the $XX discount.
Otherwise it's $XXX.
