What language do you use to set up a Financial Road Map® with prospects?

Article ID: 291
Last updated: 20 Nov, 2019

That could vary depending on how you are finding your prospects. When you and your Accountability Coach decide that you are ready for Mastery Series 2, which teaches our referral process, you will learn a complete system for filling your appointment calendar by referral.

In the meantime, when you are scheduling appointments with your prospects it is important for them to come to your office with their spouse and bring their financial documents. This is so they can have the best experience possible. Communicate that they will get something, their Financial Road Map®, which will be valuable to them whether or not the two of you choose to do business together. They will experience a meeting where they will both have total clarity about what’s important to them, define all of their financial goals, and benchmark their current financial reality. This will help them to be in a position to align all of their financial decisions with their most important goals and their most deeply held values.

If you get any push-back at all, reiterate that this is something they will derive value from whether they choose to proceed with you or not.

b My office manager for the registered investment advisor practice asked me how to answer prospects who press her for “what’s it going to cost?”, before they come in for the initial meeting. This question comes up quite often when she schedules appointments and it almost always leads to cancellations. Our fee, which is now under review, has been 1% of assets we manage and a minimum of $2,500.
b Can you please suggest an appropriate scripted reply, when my clients (often happens in the Values Staircase™ Conversation) ask me, "Are you a life coach or counselor?” I’m looking for a response that has a yes but we are also so much more impactful i.e. a wow factor that’s compelling, succinct and all about them.
b Today I had a 15 minute phone appointment with, a guy who “gets it” and who wants to come in for a Financial Road Map® meeting. However, his wife doesn’t want to come to the meeting. These are existing clients and I have always met with just him. How should I handle this?
b When prospecting to friends, frequently a friend will say that they don't want to work with me because I am a friend, that they would rather work with someone who isn't a friend. I have tried to get past this by suggesting that an adviser is all about trust, and it is easier to develop trust with a friend. However, this doesn't seem to work. The concern seems to be not wanting to disclose personal finances to a friend.
b When making phone calls, using the Financial Road Map Scheduling Script™, I get people who procrastinate about coming in to do their Financial Road Map®. In addition to the script, I am also telling them what excellent experiences other clients have had. Is there anything you can suggest to be more effective on these calls?
