what if...50statenotary lifetime mbshps....

any notary who has had a "'problem" with VR because of her lack of ethics, etc. call during the teleconference tonight and ask a few questions???
The topic is Notary Signing Agents and I would think the following questions who apply.

1. What exactly is your fee for your "new" lifetime mbshps? Because there have been several different numbers thrown around, i.e. $525, $179, $249,etc.

2. What exactly drives you to believe that your not going to get an even worse reputation in the eyes of notaries because your not honoring your previous contracts of lifetime mbshps from 2 yrs ago because you want to make an extra buck off them?

3. For someone who cliams to know marketing and self promotion, don't you think that it would be better ethics and business practice to "grandfather" in those individuals who supported you then? I would think your action would instead say that really give a shit about any notary and promoting them, but rather taking their money "twice". (I'd be happy to ask this question)

and the list could go on. BUT I think it would be good and I have NO problem going there and confronting her on the crap she does to fellow notaries.

Anyone else like to go...here's the number and what you have to do. I might just have to ask these things. And I think the topic will be introduced liket his:

I have a few questions in regard to companies ethics and business practices. I'm trying to find out how you get a company to perform their end of the contract that is made between you and them? Any suggestions? And let VR start blabbering, then go...well, glad you said that...how this question #1, #2, #3, etc.

Anyone game? Foloow the directions below.

simply call:

712-580-0380

When promoted, enter the Password 881335 followed by the # key on your telephone. You will automatically be connected to the teleconference.

well...I think there's a time and place for everything and I feel doing that on a public forum would not be very professional. Anyone whom has a problem with her should try to deal directly with her on a personal level. Interrupting a business discussion will not benefit the callers interested in the topic. Just my humble opinion

Charm please forgive me but do also consider it unprofessional to critique your clients, your client's home, and your client's pets in this public forum/very public notary forum. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

anonymous...

I don't see how the two are the same. I do not intend to put anyone down, embarrass anyone and my critiquing is done in a light hearted manner, not mean spirited. Or so I thought
I am sharing thoughts and experiences with fellow notaries, good and bad.

Can you personally identify Charm's clients when she posts in here? That's quite different than critiquing somebody by name on this board.

I can respect that and normally I would agree IF the individual is ethical and show good business practices. But I have had personal ecperience with the crap she pulls on people and let me tell you how she acted. Would NOT return my calls for resolution. Would NOT refund my money for advertising paid for and not done from HER mistake of not even publishing it. Did not respond until I had the president of the corporation that I work for advise that their attorney would be contacting the courts in Ohio on Monday to file suit...and then was not in any way objective to the facts and she constantly denied any wrong doing. She said she didn't do anything wrong because she didn't do what she was supposed to do, but rather did what she wanted and because it was SOME type of advertiseing, that I should be happy.

How's that?

So, if you don't get anywhere playing in a respective manner, play as those are playing...by their own rules.

Ask her too why her company has been up for sale if she's so dedicated to her members... Will new owners be obligated to honor the "lifetime" memberships?

While I'm no Victoria Ring fan, she doesn't owe anybody an explanation as to why she wants to sell her business. That we live in a free market society is all the explanation you need.

As for the other questions, I say ask them. If she's been blowing somebody off, she deserves to be put on the spot.

Re:Charm..

I agree with you on what you said, really I do. I just think that I do everything in my power to make a situation a win-win one and work with someone MORE than I should and she was unbelievable.. AND when someone stands up in front of the world and sells her "stuff" that promotes her god and faith and what she lives by, then acts the way she does and treats people the way she does....then that is irresponsible and she needs to be called out for those things. And since she doesn't do well in the "personal" forum, why not see how she will present in public where her peers area there to judge?

I think it's crappy what she does, I'm glad you and hope noone else has to deal with her. I hope noone else thinks that things have changed with her and goes ahead anyway because of opportunity or such, because it doesn't look like a good outcome would prevail.

just my honest opinion

Oh, it's negative, when one doesn't see it your way?

Re: Anon

I'm confused...negative? I don't get what you mean. If your saying I was negative towards Charm, I didn't think I was. I said I agreed with her...and just that with the circumstances thus far that have been done in regard to VR, it brings different reactions then what would normally be used. But I'm not sure if that's what you meant...would you elaborate?

Re: Anon-No, my mistake Notary4U

The negative comment was intended for Charm, sorry my mistake. I didn't see any of your comments as negative, in fact I agree with you. Again sorry I confused you.

I wasn't able to be a part of this conference call- were the questions brought up and better yet, where they answered by Ms. Ring?
