More and more, incoming cell phone calls are interrupting the Financial Road Map®. Is that something to address before we begin?

And they answer the phone during your meeting?
Wow, is that rude!

Hopefully you say something when they do that so it’s clear that it’s not polite and not acceptable. If you feel the need to say something in advance, it could sound like, “I have asked my assistant to hold all of my calls while we are together and you need to do the same. Please turn off your cell phone.”

In the case, where they might have a real emergency call offer to leave their cell phone with your assistant who will answer it for them in a professional manner, determine if the call is an emergency, and interrupt the meeting in an event of a real emergency.

For several years I have run an annual review program for all of my clients. As such this is something they have come to expect, generally around the same month each year. As I look to introduce the new world to them, including the values conversation, I seek assistance in terms of a script that clearly articulates the improvements to my service, as well as the road map conversation. For many years clients have received a circle chart and progress reports as part of my existing review process, so some of the ‘new world’ is something they will not perceive as added value. I am keen to introduce Values-Based Financial Planning™ to existing clients, outline to them the new direction of my business and that I invite them to be a part of this. I am struggling with a script to clearly differentiate the added value of the new world to them. Prior to their next scheduled review, as succinctly as possible, I would like to introduce the idea, outline an overview of the conversation we will have BEFORE we then run their standard annual review. Where clients realize the new world is for them, I would immediately slot them into the next space on my 3 meeting process schedule rather than run the review meeting. Everyone else I am obliged to run the review meeting and put the exercise down as practice, complete the work that comes from the review meeting itself and then see them in a year’s time. Either way, I am not sure how to best articulate the conversation. Could you suggest some ideas for a script to help me keep on track and ensure I best communicate the added value?

I recently met someone and did a self-referral. We completed his Financial Road Map® and then asked if we could meet again for me to meet his fiancée as well as his personal accountant. We met and I helped his fiancée complete her Values Staircase™ and discussed their goals. During the meeting the accountant made it clear that she was the gatekeeper for these clients, that she'd be reviewing our statements every month and that she would need to have input on the asset allocation, etc. Any advice on how to work with the accountant? The client values her and their relationship very much.

When I start discussing Values-Based Financial Planning™ to an Old World client, they stop and ask me why I am doing this since I already covered this when we first met. (In the past I would discuss what's important to them before discussing their concrete goals.) They only want to discuss the issues at hand. How do I handle this question?

When prospecting to friends, frequently a friend will say that they don't want to work with me because I am a friend, that they would rather work with someone who isn't a friend. I have tried to get past this by suggesting that an adviser is all about trust, and it is easier to develop trust with a friend. However, this doesn't seem to work. The concern seems to be not wanting to disclose personal finances to a friend.

After completing the Financial Road Map® Interview with friends to help me get more experience, they decided to get a financial plan done. I relayed the cost of completing the plan, but not the cost of an on-going relationship (as I was unsure that was the best time to have that discussion being fairly new to the process). I am meeting them Saturday morning to have a pre-planning meeting. What is the best practice for inviting them into my Ideal Client community at this point and discussing the annual fee (I am thinking $10K...this would be my first Ideal Client invite)?
