Do I need a mobile printer and scanner as a Notary Public and Loan Signing Agent? What are the benefits I get from carrying all these electronics? Is it even worth it? These are some of the questions notaries ask frequently.
Well, let me start by saying that carrying a mobile and scanner in your trunk is worth it, and this is why:
Have you ever forgotten to print a set of documents and remembered while on your way to the signing appointment? How about when you leave your office earlier because you have three signing appointments ahead of you, want to be on time, and have no intention of coming back, your hiring company calls and informs you that there was an update on the settlement statement, and you need to replace it?
What do you do? Do you tell your hiring company you have already left your office and can't return, or do you print the documents needed and be late for the rest of your appointments? Not to mention the cost of it, such as gas, time, usage of tires, mileage, oil, or even worse, having signers waiting for you upset because you are running late...
Do you have a headache yet? Well, this is just the start of many things that can happen on a regular date. Having these electronics with you will minimize stress, and you will make clients happy. Remember, as a Notary, we carry a lot of responsibility and play an important role, especially in any real estate transaction.
Whether you are a notary with one day of experience or an "OG," your goal, if I am not mistaken, is to provide the best customer service experience to all entities involved in the transaction. Here are many of the benefits you get as a Notary by carrying your mobile printer and scanner:
1) You save time, and more time, equals more signings you can accommodate in your schedule
2) You don't have to drive back to your office to print last-minute documents sent to you
3) You can print as many copies as needed and send a clean, signed file back to your hiring company
4) You can also scan documents following the signing right on the spot for "rush" closings
5) You can increase the volume of signings per day
6) You can increase the chance of getting direct clients and becoming the hiring company's go-to notary.
7) You can become the solution to your client's problem
8) You can cut down the cost of gas, usage of tires and mileage, and traffic, and prevent your customers from getting upset at you even when it may not be your fault.
As a mobile Notary Public and Loan Signing Agent, I made many hiring companies happy when they needed me to print last-minute documents or scanned "rush" files following the signing. By having access to a mobile printer and scanner, not only do I make my clients happy, but the number of signings I can get per day has increased because I can print and scan right from the spot.
Remember, once hiring companies find out you have access to a mobile printer and scanner, they employ you repeatedly. This is how I obtained one of my most significant and direct clients after I let them know I had access to a mobile printer and scanner and could print or scan right from the spot.
I am sure there are more benefits other than the ones I already mentioned of having access to a mobile printer and scanner, but these are just based on my experience. So now, ask yourself again, is it worth carrying a mobile printer and scanner when working in the field?
