First 30 days as a notary — what's normal

How many signings did you land in your first month, and at what average fee? I’m at 7 in 18 days with a $95 mean (range $75-$120) and 11.6 miles per trip on average, and I’m debating whether pushing to $105 changes anything versus accepting more $90s — what benchmarks did you see for days-to-first-20 and acceptance rate?

I hit 18 my first month at ~$102 avg, about 35 days to 20, and about 30% acceptance. Rather than blanket “pushing to $105,” set a simple matrix: keep $90 within 10 miles/next-day, ask $105–$125 for >15 miles, scanbacks, or end-of-month — counter fast and you’ll win the rush without racing docs like DoorDash. Track by company and trim the low payers after week 4; what platform’s sending most of your $90s?

I stopped hard-countering to $105 and instead messaged schedulers after 3 clean files to get “preferred,” which bumped me to $100–$110 auto-assigns without killing acceptance. > Track by company and trim the low payers after week 4; what platform’s sending most of your $90s? Agree — on Snapdocs, asking the rep for preferred after 3 clean files got me $100+ auto-assigns; which platform is sending most of yours?
