I am building a pool of groups I will approach to offer the Ideal Life PowerPoint (Self Referral) program. The script for the program is comfortable. Is there a script for how we would approach these groups to make the offer?

How do you come up with the fees? I know what I would like to charge to meet my business plan goals. But that may not be the price the customer may be willing to pay. Based on my Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue calculation, I need to charge my clients about $20,000. Will clients be willing to pay that amount for the role of an orchestra conductor?

At the last Academy (January 2012 Academy 2), you mentioned that when someone asked us ‘What do you do, aren’t you a Financial Advisor?’, we should say ‘No.’ What do you say if you are still transitioning out of a position as a Financial Advisor- a role you plan on exiting at some stage?

What should I have on my website?

The next Deliverables Team Member I'm supposed to acquire is a Property / Casualty Insurance Specialist. At my independent broker dealer, we have a division that can do this "in house" and the insurance products are proprietary. Is it better to use recommendations from my own firm and their proprietary products or should I have someone truly independent handle this? I'm worried an Ideal Client might cringe when I recommend they use proprietary insurance products. My assumption is that some Ideal Clients may want Property / Casualty Insurance advice from someone who has zero potential conflicts of interest. However, the other part of me assumes that a truly Ideal Client is a delegator and trusts me to get them the right advice, proprietary or not. I'm conflicted.
