Magic Words Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Love to Hear from Attorneys
I’ve always preferred consulting with attorneys who trust that I know what they need for their legal nurse consultant jobs. After all, I’m the professional consultant. It’s music to my ears to hear the attorney say, “Vickie, just do what you need to do on this case. I trust you know what I need.”
Even though attorneys come in all shapes and sizes and you’re consulting on a variety of legal nurse consultant jobs, it’s your responsibility to know what the attorney both wants and needs. You’ll perform your best when your attorney-clients trust you.
But trust is not just granted. Trust is earned. Attorneys don’t always know what they need on their legal nurse consultant jobs. First you’ve got to give them what they think they need and then you’ll have the opportunity to educate them about what they really need. That’s the key to building trust with attorneys.
Educate your attorney-clients and produce high quality work product that keeps them coming back for more. Before you know it, you’ll hear the magic words all Certified Legal Nurse Consultants love to hear, “Just do what you need to do on this case.”
Trust comes faster with some attorneys than others. If an attorney is reluctant to let you go all the way on your legal nurse consultant jobs, just do the best job you can and you’ll continue to gain trust over time.
