How to Become a Process Server Blog

When you’re trying to start your own process server business, how you manage your time has a lot to do with your success. Many new process servers make the mistake of focusing too much attention on badges, what they should wear, personal safety, field equipment, skip tracing techniques, and other issues that don’t really have much to do with the bottom line.

You see . . . none of that stuff matters unless you have a loyal client base that will give you papers to serve. What use are fancy badges and skip tracing books unless you actually have work?

If you really want to be successful as a process server, you need to focus your time and attention on building your business. Don’t get wrapped up in the little details — they can work themselves out. Focus on business cards instead of badges, marketing strategies instead of skip tracing, and great customer service rather than what you’ll wear. Build your business first, and have fun with the small stuff second.

If you’ve decided to become a process server, let me be the first to congratulate you. It’s a great profession and there’s a lot of opportunities in the field. It’s not uncommon for a good process server to make $70,000 to $100,000 a year or more. Some even go on to open a large firm with multiple employees. For these ambitious process servers, there’s no limit to how much can be made.

Process servers are a vital part of the legal system. Many cases wouldn’t be able to proceed with the help of a skilled process server. If you’re looking for a challenging and rewarding career, you’ll find it as a process server.

There are basically two career paths you can follow. First, you could go to work for an established process server firm. This involves submitting your resume to several firms in your area and working for them as an employee or possibly as an independent contractor. Look up “process servers” in the phone book and send your resume off to as many firms as you can. Include a sincere cover letter that explains why you want to become a process server.

The second career path is to start your own business and develop a client base. Many process servers, including myself, started their business from home. The overhead is very low and you don’t need a lot of money to get started. With a cell, some business cards, and a few other basics so can be in business for yourself.

It might take a little extra effort to get your business going, but the profit potential is a lot higher than working for an existing firm. Rather than splitting your service fees with an employer, you’ll get to keep all of the profits for yourself.

The second benefit to starting your own business is that you can set your own hours and work as much or as little as you want. Personally, I don’t like to work more than twenty hours a week but I still like to make a good income. Process serving gives me the ability to do that.

When you’re just starting out, the best way to get new clients is from word of mouth; and best of all it doesn’t cost anything. Do a good job for your clients and word will spread quickly that you’re a reputable process server.

Law firms are the biggest source of income for process servers. You should contact law firms directly and introduce yourself as a process server. Set your rates lower than the competitors in your area and aggressively seek to do business with law firms.

Having even just a few moderate sized law firms as clients can generate enough business to keep you very busy and make you a lot of money. The best law firms to work with are those that handle a lot of divorce cases and civil lawsuits. These types of firms generate the highest volume of legal documents that need to be served.

Most importantly, be creative and flexible. Think of new ways to market your business and test things out through trial and error. I didn’t know anything about the business when I fist got started and I was able to build a profitable business in a very short period of time.
