Unheard of Recognition! by a SS

I've been in this crazy business since 2002, ten years, renewing my notary commission for the 11th time next week. 2012 was by far the craziest year I've experienced doing this work

Last year I received an email from one of my clients telling me that ten of their top notaries, flawless, effortless, best NSAs they work with, had been selected to receive a yearend bonus. WOW! I haven't received a bonus check from an employer in over 20 years. I think bonuses went out the window with so many other traditional perks. We all know the limitations on salaries for people who do not contribute to the employers' bottom line! ZIP, NADA.

It was a wonderful gift, not just the $check, which I received yesterday, but the recognition and appreciation for services that sometimes, well, you can't put a dollar amount on, the borrowers could be very difficult or paperwork not right.

So, SS's everywhere, just know that there is at least one company out there who has the generosity and the vision to understand the value of their key notaries and rewards us in distinction. They don't try to plump up their ratings by improving their stars on their own. They are just a great company out there doing a lot of business, not stiffing their notaries, treating them fairly and getting great results as an up and coming service to the lending and escrow industries. Their business acumen is key to their unmatched success.

This is why you should not work for low ballers, no matter what their stars are.

You are renewing your commission for the 11th. time in 10 years? My California commission is good for 4 years.

How could you be commissioned "all of your adult life"

for 40 years , if you are only 39 years old, just like me.

I received the same bonus check you did Cheryl. Best Signing company in the

WOW!

This is just the best, Cheryl and Joan! Good going!

Of course, we're all dying to know the name of this great SS.

Your secret is safe with me because as regular readers of NR know, I stopped "accepting new patients" years ago and work only with two TCs and two small SSs who give me more work than I can handle. I even deleted my profile from NR and the numbers site. Still, curious minds want to know (what we're missing)! LOL.

Anyway, congratulatons again and maybe there is hope for signing agents!

Good lick, Cheryl.

Actually, we don't need "anonymous." Since I don't work for any of the big dog SSs - or even the little but still better-known SSs - I'd be happy to forward Cheryl's and Joan's posts with the heading: "Just thought you'd like to know! Happy New Year."

Compile a www list and I'll e-mail it on!

No, look again. I'm "Goldgirl." The picture you have in your wallet is Betty White from "Golden Girls."
