The 4 Key Touchpoints Every RON Must Use with Title Companies
Be the Go-To Notary: How to Master Communication with Title Companies
You’ve landed a signing request from a title company. Great! But what you do next is what separates a one-time vendor from a trusted, go-to professional. The key to building a lasting, successful relationship with title companies isn’t a secret. It’s all about clear, consistent, and proactive communication.
At NotarySWFL, we know that your reputation is your business. By mastering a few key "touchpoints," you can make your service so reliable that title companies feel confident sending you their most important deals.
Here are the four essential moments you must communicate with a title company to ensure a smooth process and build a partnership that generates repeat business.
Touchpoint 1: Acknowledge the Request Immediately
The moment a signing request lands in your inbox, your first job is to respond. This doesn’t mean you’ve accepted the job yet. It simply means sending a quick, professional message to confirm you’ve received it.
Why it matters: Instant acknowledgment stops the title company from wondering if their request got lost in the void. It shows you are organized and responsive, setting a positive tone from the very first second.
Touchpoint 2: Confirm the Scheduled Appointment
Once you have connected with your signer and locked in a date and time, your next step is to loop the title company back in. Send a brief update confirming the scheduled appointment.
Pro Tip: Take control of the scheduling process directly with the signer. This gives you autonomy and prevents long email chains. Then, you become the source of truth for the title company, which builds immense trust.
Touchpoint 3: Report Issues Proactively
This might be the most critical touchpoint for building credibility. If you encounter a problem, do not wait for the title company to discover it. Whether it’s a name discrepancy on a document, a signer running late, or a technical glitch, you need to be the one to raise the flag.
Why it matters: Proactive communication about issues does not make you look bad. It makes you look incredibly professional and in control. It allows the title company to solve problems before they become emergencies, and they will remember you for it.
Touchpoint 4: The Completion and Follow-Up
Your job isn’t quite done once the documents are notarized.
Send the Documents: Clearly notify the title company that the signing is complete and the documents have been sent, providing any necessary tracking or confirmation numbers.
Ask for Feedback: This is the golden touch. After the transaction is closed, send a polite follow-up. Ask if everything was to their satisfaction and if there is anything you could do to improve your service for next time.
Why it matters: This final step closes the loop perfectly. It demonstrates that you care about the quality of your service and are committed to a long-term partnership. It turns a single job into the foundation for many more.
