  • Bill Soroka IS the Real Deal!

    I’ve been following Bill for almost a year now and I’m so glad I did! I used to lack confidence in myself and my business potential. I was a lurker and stayed quiet in the background.

    Since I’ve started following him, I’ve became a member of his High Performance Notary group, read several of his books and I listen to this podcast. He has given me the guidance I needed to become more active, involved, educated, and confident. I am currently speaking up, posting articles on LinkedIn, and working o... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Estate Signings Are the Future of the Notary Business
Q: How do you maintain quality as you scale nationwide?
Dean describes a rigorous screening process, local mentorship, and internal standards that ensure witnesses are credible and trained, with the overseeing notary validating the process and stepping in when needed to preserve quality across the network.
Why Estate Signings Are the Future of the Notary Business
Q: What makes the signing ceremonies different from typical document deliveries?
They are treated as reverent, ceremonial events where the notary guides clients through life-impacting documents with empathy and careful pacing, turning the process into a holistic experience rather than a transactional meeting.
How to Start a Fingerprinting Business
Q: And what would you say to someone who already has the fingerprinting supplies but hasn't turned it into a real business yet?
Start with one paying customer to prove the model, then scale by packaging the service for travel and added value, such as same-day appointments, pre-printed mailers, and upfront payments to reduce no-shows; then expand gradually into business-to-business opportunities and repeat customers.
Bartenders Get More ID Training Than Notaries
Q: Why is credentialing seen as different from training?
Training is a one-time, procedural thing, while credentialing is an ongoing process that evaluates training, knowledge, and experience, requiring demonstrated proficiency and ethics, not just attendance in a class.
Bartenders Get More ID Training Than Notaries
Q: What is the biggest misconception notaries have about their role?
Many view themselves as clerks performing a ministerial task, not realizing their role is a major risk-control point in transactions and that true competence requires understanding complex notarial obligations beyond just stamping documents.
