In mailing the book to a referral, should it be in a plain envelope rather than one with corporate logos, address, etc.? (In his last Trusted Advisor Tool Kit™ call, Mark made mention that he believed mailing in a plain envelope was more beneficial.)

b What is the email template to send to the client after a Referral Conversation that the client can use as talking points when calling the person they referred to prepare them for my Follow-Up Phone Call?
b Would you discourage referrals from people who are out of area (not within driving distance)?
b I am now in the CAP program. Out of the 60 existing households I have 10 Ideal Clients. These clients have all been with me for 8+ years. For lack of a better word I've worn out my referral welcome with these folks. I'm in Rotary, Lions, Chamber of Commerce, and some other social networks. Of the many people in the Chamber I'm only familiar with a few, so I feel like I have to at least go talk with each person to get a self referral, find out a little about them and introduce myself since we have never met in person. I'm not having a lot of success with this in converting people to Ideal Clients. Most of my Ideal Clients are retired and not still working. I've finished all aspects of my Deliverables Team and trained a new internal staff since the last academy. To be bluntly honest I have time blocked time on my calendar for client acquisition, but just don't feel like I have a qualified (and I stress that word) list of candidates to call on for the process. Based on the 113 Ideal Clients I will need I'm going to have to call on almost 1,000 people to reach my goal of 113 Ideal Clients. I'm really struggling and would greatly appreciate your input on where I’m going to get all of these people? For our service to make sense they have to have a minimum of $500K, but really would be better for $1M+. I could call on people all day long with no money, lack there of, or a couple hundred thousand, but it would be a real waste of my time, yours, theirs, and my families time, because it won't create any REAL results even if they have a good experience.
b Should I be sending Values Based Financial Planning™ Newsletters to my Ideal Clients as well as referred prospects? How often? Monthly? Quarterly?
b I could really use your help with how I can go get clients without firing my Ideal Clients who don't give me 100 referrals or cold calling a list of people from my organizations that I do not know. I have 10 Ideal Clients, all of which all are previous clients. Frankly they are just now seeing the benefits of the difference between the Old World and New World as we added a lot of value and met regularly in the Old World. I have received referrals from almost all of these clients in the Old World. I am getting new referrals from these Ideal Clients, but not 100-200 per client. I am only getting one to two per referrals per meeting, per client. I understand the ‘In or Out’ theory, however, I don't have the financial freedom yet, to fire all 10 of my Ideal Clients if they don't give me 100-200 names.
