Oops! Sorry for previous blank post.
I completely agree with both of the quoted posts. Half of my business is easily repeat customers and another portion is referrals. I treat everyone with the same respect and professional workmanship.

Completely agree with Carmen. I now have three "company names" due to circumstances of having acquired some of these businesses from others. Each company name has its own identity but my clients know ME as the face of the business. While I absolutely see that company names are not important to your one-on-one clients, the time when they become relevant is in generating that first call. I know that surnames can be avoided when selecting a notary. I run into a lot of issues when people are looking for a female notary and find out "Shannon" is a man.
For whatever reason they find me, it's my job to do the things Carmen mentions in order to keep them. Be professional. Be on-time. Be prepared.

Advertising is a must. I think you need to have a well written profile with great notes and it is a necessity to have a website!. It looks professional. Also Certification is key. The whole idea is to stand out from the crowd. This is VERY competitive business. So if you are really serious about this profession you have to do whatever you have to to stand out from the crowd.
I dont think it is not necessary for you to have a business name. This is a very personable 'one on one' type business we are in. They make a better connection with you as a individual not as a company in my opinion. I am not saying that you should not have one but I feel the connection is stronger by keeping with a personal name.

Absolutely! Let me add a timeliness component to this. If you always do the job as you told them, at the price quoted them, properly, pleasantly, and promptly you will always get repeat business. Reliability is very important to repeat customers.

When I researched who was getting more visits, those with company names were getting more. I think that for name recognition, my guess is that a company name with a hyphen and then a personal name makes the most sense.
ABC notary - Fred
Seems to be a good idea. It has not been tried on any large scale so I am guessing here. You get the professional image of a company name, and the name recognition of having your personal name which people have gotten to know over the years if you are a seasoned notary.
I am the only one who can change company names for security reasons. I had a problem in 2006 with notaries putting astericks and all capital letters, such as "***call FRED***", so I had to stop this nonsense and control what was written.
Anyone can request that I put a company name on their profile and I'll do it generally within 24 hours.

I agree with most of what you have said. The part I don't agree with is your stating that you have a 17% better chance of being hired if you use a "company name" instead of your own personal name.
When I started in 2002 most loan signers used a company name and they are the names at the top of listing(s) and were bright enough to renew their top listing every year as I do in Riverside CA.
I think the best way to have companies remember a loan signer is using our own name plus the city we are located in.
I can't change my name to Joan Bergstrom Mobile Notary Riverside CA in your directory; what am I doing wrong?
Please email or answer on this board.
Thanks
