Only give them a copy if they ask for it or if you do not offer to be hired in the Commitment to Hire Conversation™.

b I'm new to Values-Based Financial Planning™ and am looking forward to the Academy 1 in October. In the meantime, I wanted your guidance on the following: I've been referred to a young family man who is dying. I'm wondering about how he'll react to a question like, “What’s Important About… To You?” and probably more so to the question about his tangible goals... especially as he doesn't have much of a road to look down. How do you handle conversations with people who are dying, especially young people with families?
b As a "newbie" to the Bachrach & Associates process, I have been told that the focus of this initial part of my education is on the Financial Road Map® presentation. However, assuming the success of my training, I will be getting clients. EXACTLY what is it that I can offer these people that I can deliver on that is consistent with the Bachrach & Associates training?
b I want to keep accurate numbers and had a question about just what qualifies as Ideal Client Acquisition Time. I'm involved in Self Referrals. If I am talking to someone and during the conversation, I realize that they don't have the resources to become an Ideal Client, would it qualify for Ideal Client Acquisition time if I would then offer to send the book, potential Financial Road Map®, etc. I'm struggling with not counting that as Ideal Client Acquisition time vs. counting it because "everyone deserves a Financial Road Map®". Your thoughts, please.
b At the end of the most recent webinar you gave an example of what you would say to a prospect who wanted to wait on doing a plan. One of the things you mentioned is that the advisor’s main benefit is not in the plan or any other technical work, but in the coaching and accountability. I hate to ask, but why don’t we include that in the script to make sure every prospect knows just what they are getting and why this will be different?
b I am having an appointment with clients who reside in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I Would really like to complete a Financial Road Map® with them. May I use Skype or what are your recommendations.
