You can use this script anytime during the Financial Road Map Interview™:

I’m getting the impression that you are not enjoying or finding value in our conversation today. Even though we agreed to meet for an hour today, I propose that we end our meeting and each do something more personally valuable with our time than just trudge through something that isn’t working for you. What do you think?

If it’s during Commitment to Hire Conversation™: Just don’t offer to be hired, instead say something like, “Well, I hope you got some value from completing your Financial Road Map® today. You can take this with you and use it as a guide for making better decisions about your money on your own or find it useful in selecting the right Financial Advisor for you.

Do you always scan or copy the documents that the clients bring with them?

Is the insurance listed on the Financial Road Map® in that order for a particular reason? If yes, should the insurance grid mirror this order? As I was putting together the grid, I realized it made it easier to quickly refer to them if they were in the same order - and not risk leaving something important out.

I am having a series of three client dinners over the next few weeks. I would like to present the clients the opportunity to complete a Financial Road Map®. What do you think would be the best way to introduce this at the program?

I would like clarification on the use of the Financial Road Map® in Progress Meetings. My understanding is that you are to prepare a new Financial Road Map® with the updated Goals and Current Value of Funds in the All the Money section. We are looking at whether there is a more efficient way of doing this, such as using soft copy that is updated at every progress meeting, given that the Goals and All the Money section are the only areas that are changed. Can you please set the record straight on how this is to be prepared for the meeting? We are trying to reduce any unnecessary work.
