No No List Misconception
Recently, I have been asked to email notaries a list of companies on my "no no" list.
I do not publish a No No List of Companies. If I made a mistake and even slightly indicated that I did, I did not intend to.
There is a notary who uses the name RONDA / NY who does publish one on occasion.
I do have a list of companies of 300+ companies that a notary named Mike shared with me me. I do not imply that these are good companies. They are just on a list I have.
Here is where this misconception may be coming from: I took this list of companies and made a tool to create my personal avoid list & to use for my marketing purposes.
The tool I reference is not a no no list. This is what it is: I made a notebook from the 300+ list. I alphabetized them. Then printed them into A B C sections.
My notebook is divided into 24 pages (basically a page for each letter of the alphabet). As I said, I indexed the 300 companies onto these pages and left space within each A,B,C page to write in new companies.
There is space to indicate fees/date/comments.
There is also allocated space to make notes as you peruse the forums to indicate companies who are stated to pay slow or to be no pay.
This is how I decide what's on my no no list.
If you want what I have stated above, you can email a blank email to an autoresponder email address which will give you the links to download these things.
[e-mail address]
You will not even have to wait for me to respond. I just checked to make sure that the autoresponder is working and it is.
Again, I do not publish a no no list. I do not claim the companies on the list I reference above is a good list of good companies to work for.

Listen up, everybody.
It's time to add to IP numbers and blanks in affidavits on our list of topics we don't mention to Brenda the subject of no-no lists.

Brenda says she don't know no no-no lady. At least she don't now know no no-no lady.

Actually, the way I'd like to put it is:
"I know no no no list ladies, but no blank ladies, I know."

It is definitely a misconception for someone to be chasing after a no-no list rather than spending the time/efford doing the positive things (marketting, find good ss, etc). As CaliNotary memtioned in the post below, the rate of no-pay is close to nothing.
Slow-pay is of course better than no-paya and I will work with a slow pay company. The way I look at it is, I have to keep the money (capital) at float and with a 98% (assumed) account receivable, I'm all happy.
How many of you have bought something at a good price only after its deducted from a rebate. What's wrong with waiting 30-60 to get pay compare to you actually pulling cash out of your pocket to pay for such item then turn around and wait 8-12 weeks to get little or sometimes nothing back. Think about it....

I agree
I have no more problem depositing a check from an October signing than I do for a yesterday signing
The only problem is if you have be constantly remind the slow-payer that you have not been paid
If I rec a check in 60 days and only have to invoice once, I am happy
I am happier if I get the check in 30 days, but money is money

Re: I agree
I have been paid by many on the no no list. Most on the nnl took 45+ days, my longest was 55. But, 1st I don't sell myself short and second I have yet to be stiffed. Knock on wood big time...knock knock.
