b I am calling people I haven't spoken to in two years. I was involved with bringing these prospects to be new clients at a trust bank I was working for at the time. How would you propose I best introduce them to the New World? I have tried the Old World New World™ introduction. I can get a meeting with many of these people but have not been able to get them to bring either their spouses or their documents. I feel I would do far better with an intermediary stage and what I understand of the self-referral process.
b What language do you use to set up a Financial Road Map® with prospects?
b I had a great Phone Consultation™ and a client is scheduled to come in to complete the Success Road Map®. When he comes in, do I re-do the Values Conversation™ or just re-cap the Values Conversation™ and do Pre-Commitment™ ?
b I am a new adviser with a company where I meet with a lot of people who currently own a product with us and I do a review on that particular product ,which is typically life insurance. Is there a smooth way to transition from the review into a discussion about the Financial Road Map®?
b Presently, I offer a College Planning Workshop. This workshop has produced a steady stream of clients. Now I want to upgrade my practice and one way to do so is to offer the first meeting with potential clients as the Financial Road Map Interview™. I can see that a stark revision would be to offer a 20-minute phone conversation before we set the meetings. Is this script OK for inviting groups? "We offer a complimentary consultation which is a process designed for you to make the best possible choices about your money that are in alignment with your most important goals and most deeply held values. After today’s workshop, you are invited to schedule your appointment." Should I just jump to the 20-minute telephone interview before inviting them to my office for a meeting?
