I have three people that I would like to introduce to Values-Based Financial Planning™ by sending your book. While I know these people, I do not know enough Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling (MISC) information to write a compelling note on the book and to make a meaningful Follow-Up phone call. I want to make sure I know how the concepts can be valuable to them when I call. I want to call these people and ask them the appropriate Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling questions to be able to do just that. I would appreciate you giving me your suggested words for how the initial part of my phone conversation should go with them to lead into the Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling conversation.

Tell the truth, succinctly and directly, in a way that’s all about them. What you should say is very close to how you just worded your question to me.

b Occasionally after leaving a message, I receive an email back and/or a voice message back, which basically says, thank you for the book, I already have an advisor. I am assuming we should check with the client who referred them, about how they contacted their friend, (or if they even did), however, how should we respond to the email/voice message? Call back again?
b I am just starting on my journey with 6 ideal clients and calculated the number of phone call meetings I need to make(to be Done in 4 years or less)as 5/day. What activities do you suggest I be doing now/ASAP, to ensure I am getting these numbers so I can fill my activities calendar each day?
b What would you do in this situation? I sent Values-Based Financial Planning to a Cardiologist from a self-referral I conducted a few months back. He would make a great client both financially and with his Way of Being™. He is, however, very busy. After leaving several follow up messages, he told me he was too busy and asked me to stop calling. I said ‘OK’ and we're still on good terms. I'll see him again this weekend. I was considering showing him my Deliverables Team Organization chart and also showing (not giving) him the 143 Deliverables checkpoints in an attempt to re-engage him with a better understanding of what we do. I believe he's looking at me like I'm a salesman.
b A few times I have received the response of "I would like to read the book first before we speak over the phone about it" even after I have shared with them that reading the book is not a pre-requisite to our Phone Consultation™. The response has come from "self-referrals" when I call to assess whether the book would be of benefit to them or not. I would appreciate your input on this matter.
b When I am trying to go DEEP in the Referral Conversation and the client is explaining their feeling of comfort, security etc, and I am asking how does this effect you day to day etc, sometimes the clients start asking questions that take me out of the Referral Conversation. What is the best way to get back into the conversation without being rude or ignoring their questions?
