Nothing annoys me more than getting fan mail from a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, attorney or other professional that ends with “Sent from my iPhone,” “Sent from my Samsung Galaxy” or worse, “Sent from my Blackberry” (While the first two might cause gadget envy, the last one is more likely to create a sense of pity. LOL!).
In a professional world all CLNC® consultants are expected to have professional email signatures. This means not just in email sent from the computers used in your legal nurse consulting job, but from every device you own.
For my CLNC amigos and smart legal nurse consultants, this means going to some trouble to make sure that all your mobile devices (phones and tablets) have the same email signature – but with the copy and paste function it’s easy. Get started by sending yourself an email with a simple text signature that contains a thank you, your name, credentials, title and ways to contact you:
Thank you,
Susan J. Smith, RN, MSN, CLNC
President
Smith & Associates Legal Nurse Consultants
212.555.1212 Office
212.555.1212 Cell
Then open the email, copy the signature and next go into the email settings on your phone and tablet and paste that over the generic signature put there by the manufacturer. It’s time to advertise yourself, not the product that you’re using. There’s one more reason – email addresses are often the log-ins for iTunes® and Google® Play and you’re giving hackers and other miscreants a potential lead on how to attack your phone and accounts.
Let’s get those mobile signatures fixed today. And while you’re it, read this Tech Tip for creative ways to advertise your legal nurse consulting business (which will increase your legal nurse consulting salary) with a branded email signature.
Keep on Techin’,

P.S. Comment and share when you’ve updated your email signature.
