Exciting News for 2017 As many of you may know by now I started Notary2Pro back in 2009 at the age of 66, after retiring as an Escrow Manager, and after working as a Notary Signing Agent for 8 years. My goal was, is and always will be to raise the bar in this industry by providing comprehensive training to Professional Notary Signing Agents. Now 8 years later, we are achieving our goal and have earned an excellent reputation in the Na- tional arena, providing companies all over the country with the best of the best signing agents! A few things are being added to Notary2Pro for the benefit of our students: EXPERTS: We have grouped together Notary Signing Agents who are experts in areas which provide additional income for their notary businesses. As outlined in this newsletter, these experts will present to our Graduate’s information about their field of expertise. If our Graduate would like the opportunity to learn more, our expert will train and personally mentor them. Mentoring is a huge factor for anyone trying to learn something they are not familiar with and can mean the difference between success and failure. SUBSCRIPTIONS: Many of our students, after completing the courses ask to be able to have access to our website year after year so they can refresh themselves on one of the courses, take advantage of the Additional Resources available and to learn about anything new that may influence their busi- ness. We have created a Subscription plan effective January 1, 2017. The student can have access for one year after their enrollment expires at a cost. An automatic deduction to their credit card of $30.00 each quarter will make it easy for them or they can pay $100.00 for the year. Subscription enrollment can be found on our Registration page. LIBRARY: So much of what we offer students is NOT in included in the course material or it would take them weeks to complete the courses instead of days. Our Additional Resources are now going to be in our Library and will include the existing audio recordings, teleconferences, videos and printed material. In addition, I will be creating a lot of short videos which will answer so many of the ques- tions that students have. Access to the Library is 24/7 making it very easy for students to get an- swers quickly! MENTORING: We offer mentoring to new students at a very low cost. I am their mentor and there is no time limit on this service. I still have students from years ago, call me occasionally with a problem, situation or question. Because so much of my time is spent mentoring we have created a calendar on our Graduate’s website which will allow the graduate to set aside a time convenient for them which will allow us uninterrupted time on the phone to discuss their situation. Everyone is warned however, that if a student is in a signing and needs immediate assistance, I will put the mentoring call on hold or call them right back. My last thought is that things are constantly changing for Notary Signing Agents; so many new regulations and demands can be difficult to deal with. Unfortunately we have seen an influx of so many new poorly or untrained Notaries entering this field that is has taken a toll on those people we consider to be the true professionals. One thing that is changing is the demand for better qualified NSAs and that can only be good for those of you who are dedicated to doing great work and giving terrific customer service. Never forget the value you give to your clients, and in exchange, make sure that you are aware of your expenses and make enough money to sustain a profitable business! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE. MAY 2017 BE A YEAR OF GOOD HEALTH, PROSPERITY AND GREAT JOY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! The Shout Out

Exciting News for 2017 As many of you may know by now I started Notary2Pro back in 2009 at the age of 66, after retiring as an

Escrow Manager, and after working as a Notary Signing Agent for 8 years. My goal was, is and always will be

to raise the bar in this industry by providing comprehensive training to Professional Notary Signing

Agents. Now 8 years later, we are achieving our goal and have earned an excellent reputation in the Na-

tional arena, providing companies all over the country with the best of the best signing agents!

A few things are being added to Notary2Pro for the benefit of our students:

EXPERTS: We have grouped together Notary Signing Agents who are experts in areas which provide

additional income for their notary businesses. As outlined in this newsletter, these experts will

present to our Graduate’s information about their field of expertise. If our Graduate would like the

opportunity to learn more, our expert will train and personally mentor them. Mentoring is a huge

factor for anyone trying to learn something they are not familiar with and can mean the difference

between success and failure.

SUBSCRIPTIONS: Many of our students, after completing the courses ask to be able to have access to

our website year after year so they can refresh themselves on one of the courses, take advantage of

the Additional Resources available and to learn about anything new that may influence their busi-

ness. We have created a Subscription plan effective January 1, 2017. The student can have access for

one year after their enrollment expires at a cost. An automatic deduction to their credit card of

$30.00 each quarter will make it easy for them or they can pay $100.00 for the year. Subscription

enrollment can be found on our Registration page.

LIBRARY: So much of what we offer students is NOT in included in the course material or it would take

them weeks to complete the courses instead of days. Our Additional Resources are now going to be

in our Library and will include the existing audio recordings, teleconferences, videos and printed

material. In addition, I will be creating a lot of short videos which will answer so many of the ques-

tions that students have. Access to the Library is 24/7 making it very easy for students to get an-

swers quickly!

MENTORING: We offer mentoring to new students at a very low cost. I am their mentor and there is no

time limit on this service. I still have students from years ago, call me occasionally with a problem,

situation or question. Because so much of my time is spent mentoring we have created a calendar

on our Graduate’s website which will allow the graduate to set aside a time convenient for them

which will allow us uninterrupted time on the phone to discuss their situation. Everyone is warned

however, that if a student is in a signing and needs immediate assistance, I will put the mentoring

call on hold or call them right back.

My last thought is that things are constantly changing for Notary Signing Agents; so many new regulations

and demands can be difficult to deal with. Unfortunately we have seen an influx of so many new poorly or

untrained Notaries entering this field that is has taken a toll on those people we consider to be the true

professionals. One thing that is changing is the demand for better qualified NSAs and that can only be

good for those of you who are dedicated to doing great work and giving terrific customer service. Never

forget the value you give to your clients, and in exchange, make sure that you are aware of your expenses

and make enough money to sustain a profitable business!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE. MAY 2017 BE A YEAR OF GOOD HEALTH, PROSPERITY AND GREAT

JOY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

The Shout Out

Before establishing her own mobile no-tary service, Laura Biewer was both a successful business owner and corpo-rate executive. Laura began her career as a Quality Assurance Officer. Her job required ensuring compliance not only with company quality goals but federal and state regulations. The most com-pelling part of this work for Laura was protecting the public and ensuring the integrity of the company’s products. Laura founded At Your Service Mobile Notary in 2004 and became a Certified Notary Signing Agent that same year. In 2016, her business was named by Yelp! as a “top 10 notary service in the Modesto and surrounding areas”.

She also provides private coaching ser-vices for notaries are interested in gen-erating revenue as a mobile notary with specialties such as Trusts, Inter-national Adoptions, and Hospital/facility work. For the last 10 years Laura has been a Seminar Instructor preparing attendees for the CA state ex-am, and has facilitated notary-education training for thousands of Notaries since 2006.

Camille Walters is the founder and owner of Camille Angela Services LLC, she is an accomplished New York Notary Public, Certified Signing Agent and Field Inspector, her pas-sion started in 2005 investing in real-estate, owning 6 residential proper-ties and 1 business.

To-day, she continues to help others in her Notary and Field Inspection busi-ness by coaching and mentoring oth-ers who are motivated in moving in the same direction and become the best in the business.

I believe experience is not just based on how long you have been doing the job, the rapid advances in technology and changes in the industry in recent years have produced the greatest shift in our working culture. Show-ing that you can learn, relearn and learn again as well as constantly look-ing to improve and develop yourself will help you make the most of any opportunity. This will help you to gain the best experience necessary while becoming successful in all that you do.

After over 18 years in Marketing and Business Development Management in the Federal IT space, and years of consulting to companies like IBM and Chubb International in Communica-tions and Professional Development Skills, I transitioned my Certified No-tary Signing Agent business to full-time status in 2011. An avid public speaker, I am dedicat-ed to sharing the skills and perspec-tives that were game changers for me in overcoming obstacles and building business and personal relationships that have allowed me to expand my business exponentially. I am trained in a variety of modalities including Cognitive Inquiry, Voice Di-alogue, Integral Coaching, The Work of Byron Katie, Mind-Body Mapping, The Enneagram and Internal Family Systems Therapy. I will be presenting a series of mod-ules, customized specifically for Sign-ing Agents, on skills for Establishing Rapport, Dealing with Conflict at The Signing Table, and Overcoming Fears & Limiting Beliefs. Let's face it. This can be a stressful job! Knowing our way around the documents is critical. But a great rap-port building and stress management strategy can make all the difference between whether you stay in the busi-ness and flourish - or not.

1 Plus 1 Mobile Notary Public, LLC was founded in April 2016 by Laurie and Frank Morales. We wrote our Mission Statement; “Provide quality outcomes we are proud of thru attention to detail and customer satisfaction while having fun working together” reflects the values of our Company. We believe in the im-portance of creating the highest possible level of service for clients by maintaining a high degree of accessibility, profession-alism and accountability. Our dream has always been to work together again.

We got interested in becoming No-

taries when we had our house refinanced and were talking to the signing agent. This intrigued us and we began searching for information on what a notary public does. Frank found a local instructor in Colorado Springs area and we signed up to attend training in March 2016. Our no-tary instructor, Jerry Lucas, owner of ABC Legal Docs (http://abclegaldocs.com/blog-Colorado-Notary/mobile-notary/) has been very helpful with information. His class was very in-teresting with history of public notaries. He remains very helpful as a point of con-tact for us. Upon completion of the train-ing, we successfully passed the State Ex-am. We submitted for our commissions in April 2016.

Once we received our commissions,

Frank filed with the state to create 1 Plus 1 Mobile Notary Public, LLC. We created the website, business cards, email ac-counts and our home office. We became members of NNA (National Notary Asso-ciation) and AAN (American Association of Notaries). I visited every business building down town and introduced my-self and 1 Plus 1 Mobile Notary Public. Everyone was helpful and I left our busi-ness cards to market our business.

I did my first acknowledgement for

a co-worker and received some calls from Assisted Living facilities. Unfortunately, we did not receive any new business re-quests or signing offers We contacted our

Notary instructor Jerry Lucas and asked about other classes and recommenda-tions to get our business going. He highly recommended Notary2Pro. We signed up and have taken all the classes offered by Notary2Pro. A huge shout out to Carol Ray and Barbara. We have accounts with Notary Café, Notarize This, Notary Gadg-et, Our Records, SnapDocs, and Thumb-Tack.

We had our first reverse mortgage

signing on 26 Oct 2016 and the first thing we did was to call Carol Ray for help. She was really helpful and told us what to look for. Laurie and I checked and re-checked the paper work. It was a nerve racking and the best experience ever! We did not have 100% with all areas initials, (we missed 2 areas), we did what Carol suggested to quickly get everything cor-rected professionally. What a learning experience!

We continue to work on marketing

and growing our business every day while still working full time jobs. We en-joy the opportunity to work together and establish a reputation as the “go to com-pany” in our area. We welcome all sug-gestions to better our business. We are truly impressed with the support we have received from master Notaries around America.
