Life at NotaryBay HQ

Blake, one of our sales guys wrote this post a week or so ago. I figured it gave some good insight into life here at NotaryBay HQ! - Scott

So today it is pouring rain in Seattle and it is great to have a job where you are not out in it. I feel for all of you having to drive around to signings in weather like this. As for you notaries in warmer climates, we just assume not talk to you right now, because it is miserable out!

Scott, Mark and I are hard at work on some new features for NotaryBay. We are half exhausted and half excited about the new features and news! One thing we’ve been working on is trying to get companies and users to “use” the site. In fact Scott is on the phone with one of them right now. The door is closed to his office, which is a pretty good sign it got serious! We have made some great connections in the last month.

Some of the new features worth addressing:

  • The Price Feature

It’s important for all of you to put in a minimum price. If you don’t you may get calls for jobs less than you are willing to do. We will also lose customers because the automated feature suddenly doesn’t become so automated when notaries are turning down jobs. Probably the Most important point

  • Referral Link

I am not sure if Scott mentioned this before, but it is worth a few words. If you want to get another notary signed up use your public profile link with /signup after it. Then you will get points for referring your friend or notary. Remember you’re ranked by points. So go to the points page and see what else you can do.

  • Future Stuff!

Mark is working on some cool ideas we have had in the last few weeks and getting them loaded on the site. You will soon be able to load a picture on your profile which is cool and always fun. Some other cool new stuff is in the works so keep checking back here for updates and your profiles for new things.

There is tons of stuff to look for and be excited about if you are a notary. Scott still has the door closed and is making calls. All in all we have had fun this week calling prospective users and researching/creating new feature ideas. Our ultimate goal for the month of October is to get a few test customers registered on the site and for you to refer notaries in. We are really excited that you are all apart of this adventure. I shall regress back to my hot chocolate and lonely morning. If only Scott would open the door. Happy Signings!

Blake
