That’s why we call it a journey and every advisor is on their own journey. The question is how long do you want your journey to take? You are going to say something when you meet with people. Scripting is a way for what you say to be on purpose and effective. Our scripting is proven to be effective. Trust the process.

I conducted a Phone Consultation this evening with a couple. I made the offer to complete their Financial Road Map®, which they accepted.

I found it beneficial to receive a PDF copy of my Success Road Map®, to easily reference versus scanning my actual one. Do we have something similar to provide to customers.

I would also like the client to have one - do you have a tool or suggestions to simplify that?

I will be meeting with clients I have known for 25 years and who have been clients for six. They retired two years ago and we have been working from a Retirement Plan I prepared for them when they became clients. How do I use the Financial Road Map® with these clients?
