123 renewal...

I've gotten bunches of e-m's from Keromy regarding renewing my membership, which I plan to do.
But Wait!!! there's more!

for $19. I can take their certification course and/or pay more to be listed near the top.
Is anyone here 123 certified? Do you get more calls because of it?
There are somewhere near 6/7 Sa's in my area and none of us are certified, I'm in the middle with a basic membership.

Good Morning Charm!
I get a lot of calls from TC's that "found" me on 123, but never once have I ever been asked about being certified by 123. So.... don't know if that would make a big difference or not. Interesting question, I'm curious to see what the response is!

Good Mornin' Bonnie!

I see that the first box next to our name list says certified by 123 and the whole list is void of check marks. Just wondering if mine was checked, if it would make me stand out and get more hits.

Hey Charm,

I became certified thru 123 and I got the icon. I do get a lot of calls from people who found me on 123, even individuals. Within 8 miles, I think I'm still the only one who is certified by 123 so I do think that it makes a difference for people who are looking for a notary in my area.

The certification isn't that difficult, I think it's worth the shot!

Anne

Got the email too. I think $19 is a good deal. Charm, with your experience, not sure if you really need to get certifed, but for newbies that want to take another crash course it might be helpful?!?!

I am considering doing it.

Re: 123 renewal...eX

I think it would be helpful only because no one else here on that list is 'certified'.

Not Certified through 123 Notary

I get a ton of calls from 123 Notary. I've been listed there for 3-4 years and I'm not certified through them.

Certified through 123 Notary

I am a member of 123 Notary and have their certification as well. When a company looks on the page and sees the certification icon, the 24/7 icon and the dual tray printer icon, it catches their eye right away. It sets you apart from the rest on the page.

Jeremy Belmont markets 123 notary extensively. I have received a ton of work from this site.
It is worth every dollar. Reasonable price for advertising and certification. The test comes with an e-course study guide.

I didn't sign up before because I thought the 4 different sign up levels and P#s and N#s were confusing. I dove into it this time and just figured it out. Not as complicated as I thought!

I would gladly pay any consulting fee... you have been very helpful!

Good for you! I've done well with 123.
Good luck and happy signings!
Always ask the caller where they found you and you can record where your advertising dollar is getting you work.
I'd say I get most from them, second from here and third from the NSA site linked to NNA.

Ive been signed with 123 for sometime now and I have taken the cert test. I do get a number of hits from the site and the cert tag does stand out as a big green eye catcher, for what its worth.

Been there, done that. It's a rip off if you ask me. I've met Jeremy as well. He's an odd cat. Likiable. But odd.

RIP OFF???...who you trying to kid???...

everyone here so far has had many calls because of their listing with 123. Talk about ODD!
