I also took exception to that based on my (limited) experience. One TC is doing all it can to keep that money in-house; they have no trouble getting people to close in their parking lot - as their doors have been closed to public for a year. Some of my signers, are like, "Yeah, no thanks. What do we do with the kids?!" Others just want the comfort of home and they feel free to tell me that I'm an after thought that they were offered and said, "Absolutely!" Lol
["tried to close as many of their own loans as they could so they could keep the notary fee in their own coffers."] Seems like that to me.
Bottom line, Will is to be Prepared. Whether it's your Elevator Pitch, Corporate Bio, Professional Disclosure Statement, Curriculum Vitae, Resume, Web Profile . . . draft something to draw from when you need to to present your skills to the public. As mentioned, it should be something "universal," cuz if you're Smart, you'll keep your options Open. Go out and do general notary work (GNW).
You WILL get called, and you'll want to make sure it's for what you really want to do. Some of these companies (bottom feeders) can smell Eager a dozen miles away - and will use that to THEIR advantage, not Yours (or the signer's). Keep reading and learning while you wait. Be the best NP you can be and you'll be able to transition relatively easy into the signing world. All the Best to you!
P.S. You've been in sales. Remember your business cards!
