What do I do or say when I am in the middle or end of the Pre-Commitment to Hire™ conversation during the phone consultation or Financial Road Map Interview™ and the client interrupts and states additional values? Should I continue to write those down and then restart again?

Yes. You might even ask them where they would like to put them on the staircase.

b I completed a self-referral with my client, Laura, gave her the book, and scheduled a Phone Consultation with her on March 25th. Here is the note I put on the book with the M.I.S.C I gathered from her. “I appreciated you sharing with me some of your interests in travelling like your upcoming trip in August to Camino Spain. As well as, maintaining a balanced life and enjoying the outdoors going downhill skiing, snowshoeing and mountain biking. I am looking forward to speaking with you on March 25th at 11:30 AM about how some of the concepts in the book can be of value to you in enhancing your quality of life.” She called back to reschedule the Phone Consultation and sent the following email below suggesting to now do the phone consultation with her husband instead as he handles the investments and financial planning. She is thinking she should not be involved as she does not handle the investments and financial planning. What would you say to get her back on track as to the PURPOSE of the phone consultation and her involvement in it as well? Email - Hi there, Thank you for your email. I took a quick look at the book and passed it over to my husband Rodger as he handles our investments and financial planning. He wants to read it. He’s away on business this week and won’t be able to get to it. I’ll let him know the time slots and see if you can set something up with him when he gets back. Kind regards, Laura
b During the Phone Consultation™, I ask "Is that the kind of strategy you could get excited about? The client responds, "I don't really think this is relevant to me, it would be great for younger people who are working towards retirement and we are already retired." How would you address this response?
b When emailing prospects to confirm phone appointments, Financial Road Map meetings®, I’ve been including the following: Phone meetings: Time, day, what number I’ll call them up, and reason for meeting, including their MISC info Financial Road Map® Meeting confirmation: Time, day, reason to complete Financial Road Map® including their staircase info, directions to office, and documents to bring. And same info again closer to the day of the meeting, if they scheduled far in advance or if they reschedule. Is this an okay way to go about contacting referrals and confirming meetings?
b I have three people that I would like to introduce to Values-Based Financial Planning™ by sending your book. While I know these people, I do not know enough Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling (MISC) information to write a compelling note on the book and to make a meaningful Follow-Up phone call. I want to make sure I know how the concepts can be valuable to them when I call. I want to call these people and ask them the appropriate Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling questions to be able to do just that. I would appreciate you giving me your suggested words for how the initial part of my phone conversation should go with them to lead into the Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling conversation.
b I need to make sure I am on the right track. Is the purpose of the self referral conversation to set a Phone Consultation Appointment? Is it important to go deep even if the prospect is welcoming to receive the Values-Based Financial Planning™ book and Newsletters and agrees to the Phone Consultation?
