My name is Amira Dubose. I'm with Noted Signings in Pennsylvania.
Oh, let's go. Okay, so we're gonna help you today.
So I'm just taking signings, I'm growing my business. I am a newer notary and so my question is and I've taken your course and you know, I'm following all of your steps and directions and I'm actually starting to see the traction and I'm building those connections with the signing services and just things are starting to come into fruition. I see. So what do you say for advice for scaling and starting to grow more? Because I do this part time and I have a full time job and my goal is to go full time.
Okay. First off, proud of you. You're patient enough to see the seeds growing in your garden.
Yes.
Too many times people get in this business, they're like, well no, I'm not making $2,000 a month part time. I'm like, be patient. So I love that you have that built in patience but also the consistency of, of building your business at the same time. Because by the way, not everybody has. So I want to give you kudos on on your growth process. Okay. Couple things I want to say is 75% of loan signing system community is part time. I know a lot of time. Part timers see all the action by full timers and feel like I must be the only one doing this part time. Not true. So the point is to stay the say the process is my coaching on that. Don't get deterred by all the full timers who have time to post in the Facebook group. And show off all their stats and because you're not alone in being part time. Yeah, yeah, I love part timers. Here's why. Okay, I'm tell you why specifically is because part timers understand how precious time is. You give me a full timer, I'm like, well, do A, B and C. And they're like, oh, I can put that off till tomorrow. Oh, I got all the time next week. I talked to you, Amira. You're like, dude, I got like two hours a week. Tell me what to do with it. Most of my part timers accomplish more part time than my full timers do full time. So yeah, you're in the right spot. The first thing you do, I want you to market direct. But there's a few things I want to teach you here. No one ever needs to know your part time, ever. That's none of their business. The only thing, only the business they need to know is you are ready and able when they call. Right?
Yep.
Call me crazy. If you have a $200 signing at 11 o' clock in the morning, you're going to figure out how to get there. Okay. And if you get called for two o' clock that you can't do, then you literally just say, I'm busy. Like they would just know. You're not lying. You're being very honest. No one needs to know. Okay, that's my first coach.
Yeah.
Number two on Sundays, you should be mapping out what your week looks like. So you're like, okay, I got a lunchtime from 11 to 12, there's one title company within 10 minutes of me. I'm going to go to that title company at lunch. Or, okay, I see all these networking events happening around my area. I can go to Tuesday and Thursdays. Boom. Or okay, I'm slammed this week, but I'm not slammed on Monday or Saturday. Excuse me. So I'm going to go hit four open houses. And then you go hit those four open houses, they give you referrals. Now on your lunch break next week after the open houses, you're using that to follow up in person. So what you got to do is just got to strategize your availability of time.
Okay.
The best thing part timers can do is market during the lunch, follow up the next time in lunch. Networking bets are always really easy. And the lowest hanging fruits, open houses. And so it's just committing to this, not making excuses. Oh, I'm part time. They're not going to hire me. The truth is you might lose a couple signings. To your full time job, but you'll gain more in traction for from the other work. Does that make sense? My coaching on the way out is get stingier with your time. That's what's going to take to get you from the traction you have now to quitting your full time job. You got to get stingy. What am I doing on lunch breaks? What am I doing at 6pm? What am I doing on Saturday? It's my favorite part of the business, of the journey is when a new student goes, oh my God, this is real. Yeah, I can. It's actually happening. I'm making 150 bucks a week. So I need you to ride this momentum is my point. My recommendation is how I built this business. I built this business through realtors. Remember, realtors aren't your end. All the realtors are going to leverage you to their title officers. Okay? So remember, I want you to meet a realtor over the weekend and be like, oh my gosh, is there any title officers in town you can introduce me to? Go back to the course. I'll go over that again. I'm giving you a macro coaching here. So then you're like, then on that week, you're going into those title offices through that introduction via email.
Yeah.
And so now you're not wasting your time at lunch because you know, you get, you're gonna get past the receptionist because Susie the realtor just put you on an email. Now you're going face to face with Janet, the title officer. And that's what I mean by getting stingy. So just be very specific. Going on Saturdays, your energy is great, your smile's beautiful. Like, go in there on Saturday, meet some realtors in those conversations. Big A. Do you have any, you know, local title offices you can connect me with? They get you on an email, then boom, that Wednesday you're walking in on a warm referral. And now you have some relationships directly. So, girl, this is the time. I'm so excited for you. Like, let's go. So in conclusion, go back to the course. Remember I got scripts on how to talk to realtors. I give you a literal email you give the realtor to set you up on that referral with the escrow officer and, and just start building your business through that. And last but not least is remember the notary public loan signing agent who makes the most money just tells the most people. So how are you with your warm network? I mean, my guess is, you know, realtor somewhere in your family and friends, if you really dug. My guess is you can find a loans loan office between your family and friends. So now you know this business is real. Now you know you can actually do this. All the imposter syndrome is gone. So now is the time to lean into that warm market.
Okay.
