716 – LinkedIn: Be Known Before You’re Needed – Pat Iyer and Cheri Martin

In this episode of Legal Nurse Podcast, Pat Iyer and Cheri Martin examine why LinkedIn strategies that worked two or three years ago may now be limiting your visibility. Posting testimonials, service lists, or disconnected medical facts can leave legal nurse consultants talking about themselves instead of addressing the problems attorneys need solved. The platform has shifted toward rewarding useful, relevant content and meaningful interaction.

The central idea is simple: attorneys need to know you before they need you. Cheri Martin explains that LinkedIn should help legal nurse consultants build relationships over time, while Pat Iyer shows how a client-focused post can make expertise more memorable. A story about a devastating medication error demonstrates why a compelling case narrative can hold an attorney’s attention more effectively than a standard list of services.

The conversation also covers LinkedIn profiles, analytics, comments, content frequency, newsjacking, confidentiality, and the risks of artificial engagement pods. Pat Iyer and Cheri Martin encourage listeners to focus on the attorneys they want to attract, the challenges those attorneys face, and the evidence of expertise that can build trust before a case arrives.
