I had a Financial Road Map® scheduled today with a prospect that canceled. He and his wife are indecisive as to whether they want to meet or not. He is very young, about 25, and probably not an ideal client. Should I continue to call him to reschedule the road map or let him take the initiative and call me to reschedule?

I would probably send him a short and sweet email to feel free to get in touch when they are ready and let it go.

b While completing the Phone consultation, I asked the question, “Do you have the book handy?" Client - “YES." Advisor – “Perfect. Have you had a chance to read any of it?” Client - “YES." Advisor - “OK, do you have any questions?” Client – “No, the book is great. It’s too bad I did not meet you 3 years ago when I switched advisors.” What would you say to this?
b I ask a prospect to bring in their documents and they state that they have a really detailed spreadsheet with everything on it. What is a quick and easy response to help the individual understand why I need their documents and NOT a summary of numbers?
b When making the calls to schedule Financial Road Map® interviews with current clients, I've received the same reply numerous times. The client will often say something to the effect that he/she needs to check scheduling with their spouse and will get back to me with a time that works for the two of them. I reply that it is fine and confirm when I can check back in. I then send an email to the client I spoke with to serve as a reminder. Is there anything else I should be doing? I imagine that pressing to set an appointment on the phone, with language like, “Let's set a time that works for you, you'll check with your spouse and we can reschedule if necessary” is too “salesy”?
