I am struggling as I develop a week’s plan that allows for 8 hours for deliverables and 8 hours for Client Acquisition. I need help with a pattern that would involve both the mornings and the afternoon. Other than the patterns in the book, what would you suggest as to how to structure the week?

I’m not crystal clear about the question. Schedule this time on your calendar wherever it works for you and just be sure it’s 8+ hours in Client Acquisition

b I would like to spend between 2-3 hours per week of dedicated script rehearsal time. It seems to be very difficult to create sufficient time for this purpose. I have thought of doing it in a block on a Monday morning or a Saturday morning, but then I lack the immediacy of "real world" feedback. I don't want to interrupt Client Acquisition Time partly because of the lack of focus and partly because of the inability to fully predict when client interaction will be necessary. I also find myself unable to honor a regular morning or evening schedule for this purpose.
b Is there a specific amount of time each week that needs to be directed to self promotion/marketing?
b I am confused at the annual amount to charge an existing client after a plan is put together. Going forward with new prospects, maybe it would be easier. I happen to know that my clients don’t need all subject matter experts and that is what I need to base my annual fee on going forward. Please help with that.
b If your Ideal Client Profile dictates a written plan and you charge a fee for it, should you also charge a fee for a plan for current potential Ideal Client's? Should there even be a fee charged for current clients if they come over to the New World?
b I have been running a "quarterback" model business for the last few years so hiring me to do what I’ve already been doing BUT much better shouldn’t even be questioned. However, most clients I have on a AUM fee, discretionary agreement. I'd like to present a new "flat fee" discretionary agreement, with formalizing me as the Trusted Advisor. Do you have an outline of items recommended in the agreement or examples I can give my attorney to create one for me. AND should I use the Commitment to Hire part of the Financial Road Map® meeting to have them sign to commit?
