Cheri Martin, known as the social visionary, is a renowned LinkedIn expert. In the How LNCs Can Connect with Attorneys Using LinkedIn session from the LNC Success Conference, she provides detailed information about how to get the most out of LinkedIn at no cost. In her experience with clients, this platform yields the most consistent and powerful results by following simple principles of engagement.

First, understand that LinkedIn isn’t for sales. Its purpose is to help you make connections.

Connect intentionally. Know who you want to reach.

Communicate with purpose.

Create relevant content.

These are the fundamental guidelines. Don’t try to connect with the maximum number of attorneys. If you have effective relationships with ten, you can focus on nurturing those. The more you build the know, like, trust factor, the more likely you are to organically attract other connections.

Send them birthday greetings; congratulate them on a promotion. Send them links to articles you think will have meaning for them. These practices keep you top of mind. When they need someone who can provide your kinds of services, they will reach out.

In addition, Cheri describes some of LinkedIn’s newer services, which can expand your outreach.

LinkedIn, Cheri says, takes the “cold” out of cold calling. We all want that, and studying this podcast will help you achieve that goal.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: How LNCs Can Connect with Attorneys Using LinkedIn

What are the three initial steps to take on Linked In?

How can you make the most rewarding connections with attorneys?

How can your listening skills serve you in these relationships?

Your Presenter of How LNCs Can Connect with Attorneys Using LinkedIn

Cheri Martin is known as the “So Social Visionary” for her approach to the art of social networking. She is a social media strategist, specializing in LinkedIn, Facebook, and content marketing, with more than 24 years of online marketing experience.

In this transcript, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from an expert about the 5 Proven Steps to Boost LNC Referral Success.

Asking for referrals is for many one of the most challenging aspects of building a business. It’s also one of the most essential elements. That’s why learning and practicing Tiffanie Kellog’s five-step program can make this process so much easier.

She begins with the foundation: Who do you want to reach? Who is your ideal client? She leans into being specific. You can even mentally construct an image of this client.

Next, look at your network. Who can help you? Who are your referral sources?

What do you want them to tell their contacts or associates about you? Here is where you again have to go beyond self-consciousness and be clear on what you have to offer. Keep in mind that you may be able to reciprocate by offering referrals to your referral source.

You want to both educate and motivate your potential referral source. In this process, don’t overload them with information. Only provide that which is relevant.

Step by step, Tiffanie will guide you through a specific and workable program for building your business through referrals. As you practice it, your networking skills will grow, and your business will reflect your efforts.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: 5 Proven Steps to Boost LNC Referral Success

Who is your ideal client?

How can you activate your referral sources?

What message do we want our referral sources to share?

Why are motivation and education both necessary to get referrals?

Why is it important to make your request specific?

The phone rings, and a potential client is calling. Are you prepared, ready to put your best foot forward? Do you have an intake form ready? Are you able to answer questions he or she might ask? Or do you feel nervous and shaky and sure that you’re going to blow it? Listen to this week's episode titled Confidently Handle Attorney Inquiries.

Pat Iyer and Barbara Levin, highly experienced LNCs will, in this podcast, help you feel confident and ready to handle attorney inquiries.

Start off by shifting the focus from yourself. Draw on your clinical experience, thinking of the first time you meet a patient. You know that person is in pain and frightened. Your job as a nurse is to help them.

You may not think of an attorney as someone in pain and frightened. Think again. The welfare of their clients is their responsibility, their legal obligation. They are hoping that you can help them. Your primary responsibility is to demonstrate that you are that person.

Equip yourself with tools to reinforce that impression. You have an intake form; you know the questions to ask. You state your fees without apology and  ask for a retainer. Ask informed questions, and  don’t make promises you can’t keep.

You’ll learn how to do all this and much more in this information-packed podcast.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: Confidently Handle Attorney Inquiries

Do you use an intake form when a new client calls?

Do you follow up with some form of thanks to whomever referred you?

How do you check for a possible conflict of interest?

How do you handle retainer fees?

Under what circumstances might you reduce your rates?

Your Presenters of Confidently Handle Attorney Inquiries: Pat Iyer & Barbara Levin

Pat Iyer MSN RN LNCC established a highly successful independent LNC business in 1989. She grew Med League to become a multimillion-dollar business which provided expert witnesses and did behind the scenes consulting. She trained hundreds of expert witnesses and supervised a staff of employees and subcontractors. After selling Med League in 2015, she returned to legal nurse consulting after a 6-year hiatus and currently serves a small group of attorneys.

This is my second solo podcast on the topic of difficult clients. In this podcast, Client Disputes and Departures – LNC Nightmares, I describe some of the diverse issues associated with fee collection. As always, I share some of the mistakes I’ve made—so that you won’t make them.

The first issue for you to consider if clients aren’t paying is the quality of your work product. Attorneys require well-written, accurate, and error-free reports. The best ones will tell you when your report doesn’t meet their standards.

Sometimes attorneys fail to accurately represent what they need in a report. I describe a case where that happened to me.

It’s of primary importance for you to spell out every detail of the contract you have the attorney sign. That includes payment schedules, the disallowance of contingency payments, the point at which you will involve a collection agency, and other issues.

You also need to decide when you will grant clients some slack. This should always be based on their value to your business.

When clients disappear, it’s always a good idea to find out way. Some reasons have nothing to do with the quality of your work, and that’s a good thing to know. It’s equally valuable to know if the client has an issue with your work product. You can always improve.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: Client Disputes and Departures – LNC Nightmares - Pat Iyer

Are low-quality reports preventing you from collecting fees?

What do attorneys look for in a report?

How can you get clarity on what an attorney wants?

How should you handle an attorney’s cash flow problem?

Why is it so important to get part of your fee in advance?

If you lose a client, how can you find out why?

In this session, Handling Tough Clients: Business Insights for LNCs, you’ll discover valuable lessons I've learned from working with attorneys. Listening to or reading this podcast can save you thousands of dollars and untold misery.

I take up three major difficult client situations. The first is the importance of boundaries. You need to make it clear when you are and are not available to clients. Set those boundaries and safeguard them. You will prevent a lot of stress in your life.

Money issues can be huge for legal nurse consultants. As a novice LNC, I didn’t increase my rates as regularly as I should have. I’ve learned to see this in the context of cost-of-living increases. Like everyone, I have increased expenses. If I want to stay in business, I need to pass them on to the client. Rest assured that they are doing the same and learn to state your increases in a matter-of-fact way. I give some specific suggestions.

It took me a while to catch on to the idea of rush fees. ALWAYS charge rush fees when needed. If you are dealing with a new client, ask for a retainer upfront.

The third important element is client fit. Some clients are very difficult to work with, and I'll share with you some strategies for managing the client fit problem.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: Handling Tough Clients: Business Insights for LNCs - Pat Iyer

Why is setting boundaries essential to your LNC business?

Why is it important to systematically and regularly increase your fees?

How can you tell your clients in a friendly and candid way that you need to increase expenses?

What is scope creep?

How do you handle client fit?

Today’s podcast, The Role of Legal Nurses in Placenta Accreta Cases, discusses a serious condition called placenta accreta. When this occurs, the placenta attaches to the uterus, causing major difficulties in the delivery of the infant. Nurse specialist Katie Roberts goes into depth about this medical condition.

While the condition is rare, it’s on the rise. Katie explains that cesarian sections and placenta previa are some of the risks for placenta accreta. Another risk factor is a pregnancy in which there have been no ultrasounds and sometimes no medical supervision at all. This prevents the obstetrician from preparing safely for the delivery.

A carefully planned delivery, often by cesarian section, involves a complete team of medical practitioners. A primary goal is to prevent excessive blood loss, and when deemed appropriate, to schedule the delivery in advance of the anticipated due date.

An LNC experienced in obstetrics can make a major contribution to the evaluation of a case involving placenta accreta. He or she can assess the medical personnel’s consideration of the risk factors and preparedness to prevent crises, as well as determining whether the optimal procedures were used.

Katie points out that, due in part to women becoming pregnant at increasingly older ages, the risk of placenta accreta correspondingly increases. That alone makes this a valuable podcast for you.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: The Role of Legal Nurses in Placenta Accreta Cases - Katie Roberts

How and when can a placenta accreta be detected?

In this podcast episode, we explore Unveiling Child Abuse Signals. We discuss one of the most disturbing and problematic areas of health care and forensic medicine: child abuse, which may be physical, sexual, emotional, or due to neglect.

Katie Holmes, a pediatric nurse practitioner with over 17 years of experience, assists attorneys with child abuse and other child-related cases. She’s here to share her wealth of information in this critical area.

She emphasizes the importance of teaching children about inappropriate touching and their right to say “no.” This should be part of a child’s early education.

Evaluation of physical injuries has to be done carefully, and the kind of injury must be correlated to the age of a child. An eight-month-old baby may roll out of a bed, but it is highly unlikely that a three-week-old baby will.

It’s also essential to have a pediatric ophthalmologist examine for retinal damage. The kinds of skull injuries sustained are also significant.

While it’s always wise to be alert for abuse, Katie points out that some injuries are caused by genetic conditions. Some children may sustain fractures from a blood pressure test. Others have bruised-looking skin from hereditary conditions.

This is a highly sensitive area for all health practitioners, and LNCs share the responsibility to thoroughly investigate. This podcast will give you a great start.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: Unveiling Child Abuse Signals - Katie Holmes

What are the different kinds of child abuse?

What’s the profile of a child abuser?

How can you warn children about potential sexual abusers in a matter-of-fact way?

How does age affect evaluation of injuries?

What sort of skull and other injuries should you look for in physical abuse?

Your Presenter of Unveiling Child Abuse Signals - Katie Holmes

With over 17 years of nursing experience, Katie Holmes has specialized in pediatric trauma since 2012 and currently serves as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Stanford Children's Health, a role she has held since 2018. Her diverse experience at Stanford includes pediatric trauma, general surgery, and pediatric cardiac anesthesia. Previously, she worked at Children's Hospital Oakland, a busy Level 1 trauma center, for six years. Since 2020,

In this podcast episode, we explore Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses. Creating chronologies that have multi-purpose functions in a range of cases is one of the services attorneys are most likely to request. Today we have an expert in this area, Mary Beth Kerstein, who will share with you what she’s learned about this important service.

Attorneys lack both the time and medical expertise to prepare a chronology, and it’s not a job that can be handed off to a paralegal. This is where LNCs can prove their value.

Mary Beth addresses a number of practical issues. Since all records don’t arrive at the same time, you need to find a way to indicate new information for the attorney’s benefit. She details how to do this.

The biggest issue is deciding what information is pertinent for a chronology. As this will also determine the length and number of billing hours required, she recommends that you ask the attorney what he or she wants. You can also provide samples of chronologies you’ve done.

She emphasizes that the chronology should be opinion-free. Expert witnesses, opposing attorneys, and other parties may see this. If the attorney wants it, you can provide your opinion about the case in a separate email.

You can also offer to provide additional services, like a list of providers or a medical glossary.

You will find the content of this podcast to be an invaluable resource to help you excel in this highly requested service.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses - Mary Beth Kerstein

How does an attorney benefit from having an LNC prepare a chronology?

How do you organize a chronology where multiple providers are involved?

How do you discern what’s important to put into a chronology?

Should chronologies be opinion-free?

What are invisible injuries?

Your Presenter of Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses - Mary Beth Kerstein

Mary Beth Kerstein MSN BSN RN ONC of Milford, Michigan is a registered nurse whose nursing career spans 38 years. She is clinically active and has worked in the hospital setting her entire career. Her roles in the hospital setting include staff RN, critical care education coordinator, clinical nurse manager, data analyst in the quality program,

As a legal nurse consultant, you will be evaluating both the physicians who may be defendants in lawsuits and in the selection of physician expert witnesses. What standards are most effective in making those choices? Discover the answers in our podcast episode: Expert Witness Essentials: Evaluating Physician Credentials.

Here to help us in making those decisions is Dr. Kayur Patel, who has spent much of his professional life looking at quality of care issues from various perspectives. He breaks down the stages of the very long path of a would-be doctor’s journey.

One issue he demystifies is whether going to a non-U.S. medical school is a handicap in terms of professional reputation. As long as a student passes the USMLE (U.S. Medical Licensing Examination), they are qualified.

He also explains about board certification in a specialty. Roughly 60% of doctors are not board-certified. Board certification gives an extra layer of credibility. Dr. Patel says that board-certified doctors are less likely to be involved in malpractice suits. They are seen as having greater credentials than doctors without that extra credential.

Given the challenge of selecting expert witnesses, this distinction will help LNCs make the choice that can often influence juries. This podcast will help LNCs and also lawyers to understand the detailed and prolonged training doctors go through.

Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: Expert Witness Essentials: Evaluating Physician Credentials

What is involved in becoming a doctor?

What impact does schooling history have on a doctor’s competency to be an expert witness?

What distinctions are involved in further professional specializations?

What is the significance of the board examinations in terms of selecting an expert witness?
