b I was rehearsing my script, “Financial Road Map New or Referred Clients” with my wife as a pretend client. As we discussed the Goals Conversation™, and I asked her, “Let’s say you’re there, what are two or three words that describe what you’re thinking and feeling now that you’re there?” She responded that is sounded like I’m “selling her a timeshare.” As if I were a salesman. Do I just need more practice?
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 On the Financial Road Map® Interview Self-Evaluation Form, what does ‘we are/are not clear about the priority of each goal’ refer to? When are we supposed to discuss ranking the goals in order of priority?
b During the Goals Conversation™ a client asks me for some examples of typical and/or common goals people may have. I then answer, for example, some people want to buy a cottage, fund children’s education, retire at 55 etc. Should I provide these examples to provide clarity or not?
b Is there a letter you use when sending out the Quality of Life™ Enhancer Exercise?
