Raising your prices only pushes the client to shop around for a cheaper notary even more. Keep in mind, expenses went up for them as well just as it did for you. As a side note, this is not a "dying industry." It has crashed numerous times before (just like the stock market and the economy) routinely does, and has ALWAYS recovered. You are right, the client doesn't care, nor should they. They are operating a business just like you are. Based on this, we will NEVER influence the fees they offer, instead try considering "shrinking your bubble." Give them less by traveling less. New notaries should make decisions on their own as to how to proceed. NOW is the time to do your homework because the fast ride will come again. Why? Because it always has. "Seasoned" notaries not only knew this slow down was coming, but planned and prepared for it, simply because it hasn't been the first time we have experienced this. As for the job market? Take it with a grain of salt when you see those numbers get pushed out. The government is responsible for most of that hiring. They just pushed out trillions of dollars in monopoly money to fund government programs and projects, which comes with mass government hiring! Stay positive. |
