If you burn a bridge, you can never go back.

One of the keys to success in this business, and almost any other business, is getting repeat business.  If you get called once to do a closing, will that same company call you again? If you did a good job, chances are that they will. That's your goal: to get called again. Repeat business.

If you didn't do a good job, they may not call you again.  It's possible that they will at some time later in the future. As long as you didn't do something that was horrific, like failing to show up at the closing because you got drunk, arrested, and thrown in jail.

However, there's one way to ensure that they will never call you again. You severed ties with them.  You told them that you didn't want to work with them again, and to remove your name from their list of notary signing agents.  You may have been feeling pretty defiant at the moment. You may have been hurt.  You may have felt mistreated. 

Whatever the reason, you created a situation where there is no turning back.

Things are slowing down in the loan signing business.  Notary signing agents are going to find that now, more than ever before, they will have to maintain good relationships with the companies with whom they are working.  Be a little more tolerant. More flexible. Less demanding. Less of a pain in the a$$.

You have a lot of control of your destiny as a notary signing agent.  As long as you maintain those good relationships, there's always the possibility that you will be called again.
