Pricing Inquiry Scripts
Pricing Inquiry Response Scripts for Notaries
In the notary business, the first person to answer the phone usually gets the job. These scripts help you quickly quote mobile fees and signing rates so you can secure the appointment before they call the next notary on the list.
Standard General Notarization
Use this when someone calls asking for a single document stamp like a power of attorney or affidavit.
I can certainly help you with that. For a standard mobile notarization, my travel fee starts at $50 plus the state-mandated $10 per signature. This covers my travel to your location and the time spent witnessing the signing. How many documents do you have that require a stamp? I have an opening this afternoon if that works for you.
Tips for this scenario
- -Always distinguish between the travel fee and the per-signature fee.
- -Ask for the document type to ensure you are allowed to notarize it.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Answering the phone while in the middle of a signing, which looks unprofessional to the current client.
!Forgetting to ask if the signer has a valid, unexpired ID before agreeing to the job.
!Not quoting a travel fee separately from the notarization fee, leading to confusion.
!Failing to account for 'wait time' fees if a signer isn't ready when you arrive.
!Letting calls go to a generic voicemail where competitors will get the lead first.
