Where are you located? contact another signing agent and see if they will refer any they can't take to you. I currently have 5 people in my area that I cross refer. If I can't do a signing I give the calling company their numbers. This works well for us.

It can be discouraging at first but, keep signing up with as many signing services, title companies, lenders, and brokers as you can. Notary Rotary and Go Mobile Notary offer excellent links and signing company sites for which you can sign up to. I also urge you to upgrage to premier memberships on these sites. Obviously, in the beginning it can be expensive. So pick the one(s) that will give you the most for your buck immediately i.e. notaryrotary. Also, consider joining the NNA or NASA, ASN,Notarylocator,Notarywork...just some suggestions for more exposure. Most of the signing business I get from signing companies have come from NotaryRotary and similar sites.

Before you know it, your phone will be ringing off the hook. Until then, I hope this info helps.
Oooops! I forgot to log in so you could see that I am a premier member....its under select processing services, southeastern mi

Hope this helps....

Don't stop applying till you hit 200

And then continue to market to target companies who, 1. Pay good fees. 2. Pay in a timely manner.3. And who do a reasonable volume in your area

Also, don't put too much stock in no-no lists. If a company keeps appearing on several different lists, then a red flag should go up -- but otherwise, one person's no-no company is another's bread and butter.
