Last week I took a 79-year-young friend to Alcatraz – the old federal prison that once held the likes of Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly and Alvin Karpis. Unlike the more famous inmates, we were just going for a short visit. When we attempted to board an earlier ferry than the one we had reservations for, we were firmly, but politely, turned away. Watch this video to hear the lesson I learned from this experience.
Out of all the web browsers, Internet Explorer® (IE) and Firefox® lead the pack in number of users. Tech-types and cool Certified Legal Nurse Consultants play with Google®’s Chrome® browser and a few use Apple®’s Safari®. Just like opinions, everyone has one – a favorite browser that is.
One of my passions is dance. I love dance in all of its variations, modern dance, ballet, jazz, tap and even interpretational movement. I admire the strength, athleticism and the ability of the dancers to contort their bodies into all kinds of impossible positions. If you’ve ever thought those male ballet dancers don’t measure up to other testosterone-laden male athletes, just ask your husband to lift you over your head and dance across your living room. My husband, Tom, is still recovering from that move.
Wired magazine recently posed that question. Based on my own (I’m hoping not atypical) behavior I’m starting to think like a Monty Python movie character. Although the Web may be circling the drain, it will probably tell you, “I’m not dead yet.”
I asked the CLNC® Pros to share their favorite easy-to-use exhibiting strategies for gaining new attorney-clients. Add these top 10 marketing ideas to your next exhibit with attorneys.
Exhibiting is a cost-effective way to get in front of a large number of attorneys in a very short time. I asked four Certified Legal Nurse Consultants to share the role that exhibiting plays in their marketing plans.
Every Certified Legal Nurse Consultant who reads my Tech Tips knows I’m a keyboard guy and not a mouse guy. I’ve confessed this in the past. Every time a CLNC® consultant reaches for their mouse you may as well be reaching for a cup of healthy green tea for all the time it will save you. Those precious seconds off the keyboard are billable hours lost forever. End of story.
Five years ago yesterday, Hurricane Katrina forever changed the lives of so many people I know – family, friends and strangers. We often forget it affected people not just in New Orleans but throughout the Gulf Coast region and will do so for years to come.
Vickie, I just have to tell you about my recent exhibiting success. I started my Certified Legal Nurse Consultant business 5½ months ago after a long hiatus from nursing. I was fortunate to be able to work on my legal nurse consulting business full time and I made a concerted effort to use the marketing strategies I learned from the CLNC® Certification Program. I got my first two cases on the same day within a week of my launch date just networking with friends. This networking brought me two attorneys and seven cases in the first three months.
Attorneys were probably the last group of professionals to embrace email. For years they hid behind their assistants and never touched a computer, much less sent or received an email. While I still know a few dinosaurs, for most attorneys today, email is the preferred form of communication.
