Why Notary Businesses Struggle with Phone Management
The notary industry faces unique challenges that make traditional phone handling methods inadequate. Unlike other businesses, notaries often work irregular hours, handle emergency requests, and serve clients who need immediate assistance.
Here’s what happens when you can’t answer every call:
- Lost emergency appointments – Real estate closings and legal documents can’t wait
- Missed repeat business – Clients expect reliability and quick response
- Reduced referrals – Poor accessibility hurts word-of-mouth marketing
- Competitive disadvantage – Clients choose more accessible notaries
Small notary businesses typically receive 30-80 calls per month, with each potential appointment worth $75-$200. Missing just 20% of these calls means losing $450-$3,200 monthly.
Traditional Solutions and Their Hidden Costs
Option 1: Do Nothing (Voicemail Only)
Many notaries rely solely on voicemail, hoping clients will leave messages and wait for callbacks.
How it works: Clients reach voicemail, leave messages, and you call back when available.
Pros:
- Minimal cost ($10-$30 monthly)
- Easy to set up
- No training required
Cons:
- High abandonment rate – 75% of callers won’t leave messages
- Delayed response times frustrate clients
- No appointment scheduling capability
- Professional image suffers
- Can’t handle multiple languages
Missed Revenue Calculation:
With 50 monthly calls at $125 average value:
- Missed calls: 30% (15 calls)
- Lost revenue: 15 × $125 = $1,875 monthly
- Annual loss: $22,500
Option 2: Hire a Receptionist
Some successful notaries hire full-time or part-time receptionists to handle calls and schedule appointments.
How it works: Employee answers calls, schedules appointments, and manages your calendar during business hours.
Pros:
- Human interaction builds trust
- Can handle complex scheduling
- Grows with your business
- Handles multiple tasks beyond phones
Cons:
- Expensive ($2,500-$4,000 monthly with benefits)

- Net cost including salary: $4,000+ monthly
Option 3: Outsourced Answering Service
Generic answering services provide 24/7 call handling but lack industry-specific knowledge.
How it works: Third-party service answers calls, takes messages, and forwards urgent requests according to your instructions.
Pros:
- 24/7 availability
- Professional answering
- No hiring or training hassles
- Scalable service levels
Cons:
- Expensive ($150-$400 monthly plus per-call fees)
- Generic scripts don’t understand notary needs
