Unhappy Re: Introduction Letter
I am having a real hard time putting my introductory letters together. I don't know if I am thinking too much into it or what. I am ashamed to say that I received my certification in August and still have not received any business. I do end up procrastinating because I worry about what I should or should not put in my intro letter. I stress out so much about it that I have 20 envelopes ready to mail with only business cards and brochures in them. I went through the home VMI course, so I received good "training", so why can't I pull it together?!!

If you got your certification in August, you're moving quick compared to me. Just remember, the hardest part is getting started! (At least that's what I keep telling myself, so I sure hope it's true!)

Hello, lecavalier4,

It's hard to keep that motivation going. And, very very easy to procrastinate. How about posting in a new thread all of your concerns and let's address each one separately??

I sent you a pm, too.

I am also finishing up my marketing materials. They should be ready to send out next week. I would appreciate some tips on a introduction letter. And here is another questions. If there are 6 lawyers in the firm who are potential clients, to whom do you send packages out to first. I am sure the gatekeeper would notice 6 indentical mailings. Do you flip a coin? Go with the most/least experienced lawyer of the group?

One more questions while I am on a roll, how do you politely ask if there is an LNC already working at the firm when you make pre-calls before sending out your packets. I saw a book Marketing for the Legal Nurse Consultant by Betty Joos. wondering if it was worth the $40 from Amazon, I would gladly buy it if it was worth it.

I am very pleased to have found this forum, I stayed up late the other night reading all of the threads, wished I had that legal software and benefited from many of the answers to previous questions. I completed LNC Stat home study course at the end of the summer and but it took a little while to finalize my marketing materials. Looking forward to sending this out, but understand that I am headed into the slower holiday season.

Hello and Welcome to allnurses.com

Great having you join us.

I am also finishing up my marketing materials. They should be ready to send out next week. I would appreciate some tips on a introduction letter.
I sent you a message.


And here is another questions. If there are 6 lawyers in the firm who are potential clients, to whom do you send packages out to first. I am sure the gatekeeper would notice 6 indentical mailings. Do you flip a coin? Go with the most/least experienced lawyer of the group?

Good question. Often, you will have firms with 50 or more attorneys in employ. I try to send to the partners of these firms. This should be easy to find out when you phone ahead of time.



One more questions while I am on a roll, how do you politely ask if there is an LNC already working at the firm when you make pre-calls before sending out your packets.

LNC - "Thank you for your time. One more question, "Has XYZ Firm utilized a Legal Nurse Consultant in the past?"

Firm Gatekeeper: "No"
Firm Gatekeeper: "Yes"
Firm Gatekeeper: "Yes, we have one on staff now"
Firm Gatekeeper: "Yes, we utilize LNCs often"
Firm Gatekeeper: "What is a Legal Nurse Consultant"


I saw a book Marketing for the Legal Nurse Consultant by Betty Joos. wondering if it was worth the $40 from Amazon, I would gladly buy it if it was worth it.

This book may aid you in your efforts. I suggest the AALNC text to have on hand at all times: Legal Nurse Consulting: Principles and Practice by Patricia W. Iyer

In my message to you, I discussed the litigation software.

Congratulations on completing the LNC Stat course. Good luck with your marketing efforts.
