b What should you do if a client's goals are unattainable or unrealistic? I have some clients who are looking for unrealistic levels of income from their retirement portfolios. How would you handle an Implementation Meeting Conversation™ if your analysis shows the goals, as the clients stated them, are not realistic?
b What if the two do not agree on a goal? Or, When one participant does not respond affirmatively to (or at all) to the goal of the other, how should the advisor ask if they approve / agree?
b I had a Values Based Financial Planning™ Meeting with a client who said he did not have any goals that required money or planning. How would I take this conversation further?
b I have had a number of Financial Road Map® Appointments recently where the time of the appointment has gone to two hours. By the time I have thoroughly gone through the values of each partner and then cover their goals (in both instances this has been around 5 goals) and completed the All the Money Conversation™ and the Commitment to Hire Conversation™, it is going on close to 90-120 mins. I cannot see where there is time that we are wasting. There is little chit chat, however, at times, clients discuss some of their goals and that may take a little longer. I am not sure whether I am going too far with this. Can you please provide some comments around this or strategies I can use to reduce the time I spend on each Financial Road Map® Interview?
b I had a great Financial Road Map® this week however the length of the meeting was way too long. I went through four goals and on one goal the clients had a disagreement on what that goal would be; a retirement date or the option to work or not. We took some time to come up with an agreement on what that goal would be. Effectively, we created one date/goal for each partner. How many goals are ideal and what do you do when they disagree on a goal?
