Client Retention Call Scripts for Notaries
In the notary world, your next $200 loan signing often depends on how well you treated the last client. These scripts help mobile notaries and signing agents move beyond one-off transactions to build a stable book of repeat business from title companies, attorneys, and private clients.
Post-Signing Quality Check
Call the client or the hiring title officer 24 hours after a mobile signing to ensure everything went smoothly.
Hi [Name], this is [Your Name], the mobile notary who assisted with your documents yesterday. I'm calling to make sure the signing went exactly as expected and to see if the lender had any questions about the paperwork. My goal is always a zero-error signing, so I wanted to double-check that everything was received on time. It was a pleasure working with you, and I'd love to handle your next appointment in [City Name]. Do you have any other signings coming up this week that I can get on my calendar?
Tips for this scenario
- -Mentioning 'zero-error' shows title officers you are detail-oriented.
- -Always confirm the location so they remember your service area.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Pro Tips
- 1.Always identify yourself as a 'Mobile Notary and Certified Signing Agent' to sound more authoritative and qualified for high-value jobs.
- 2.When you can't answer, use an AI service like SkipCalls to handle the booking so you don't lose the $150 fee to the next notary on the list.
- 3.Keep a 'frequent flyer' list of Title Officers and call them every 30 days just to see how their file volume is looking.
- 4.Mention that you carry E&O insurance (Errors and Omissions) during your retention calls to build trust with professional clients.
- 5.Ask every client if they have any other documents that need notarizing while you are already there; it's an easy way to turn a $75 visit into a $100 visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to call title officers without a specific reason?
Yes, but keep it brief. Call to 'update your coverage area' or mention you have 'extra availability this week.' It keeps your name at the top of their list.
How do I handle clients who complain about travel fees on the phone?
Explain that the travel fee covers your time, gas, and the convenience of you coming to their home or hospital bed, which saves them an hour of driving.
When is the best time to make retention calls to real estate agents?
Tuesday or Wednesday mornings are best. Mondays are too chaotic, and by Friday they are usually swamped with last-minute closings.
Should I mention my bilingual services during a retention call?
Absolutely. Being able to witness signatures in Spanish or other languages is a huge selling point for title companies with diverse client bases.
What if I miss a call from an escrow officer while I am in a meeting?
In this industry, speed wins. If you can't answer, an AI receptionist that can provide your availability and take details is the only way to prevent them from calling the next notary.
