What should I do when I call a referral to schedule a Phone Appointment and that person is not there? Should I leave a message with a miscellaneous person, call back later to talk to the person, or leave a voice message?

Do whatever you have to do so the referred person either a) answers the phone, or b) they can hear your voicemail message exuding your energy and good content.

b How do I handle clients who promise to give the name of a referral and call with the address, and then don’t?
b Had a Referral Conversation™ and the client provided great feedback on the process, the positive impact of having their Financial Road Map® etc. I addressed the question … “They already have an advisor”, I clarified this is not a solicitation, it is a gift and I explained the introduction process in detail. As I start to finish I asked if they have any questions about the process, they responded “No, it is clear." Again when I asked the question who’s first, they responded, “We don’t have a list of people to give you at the moment. We will keep it in mind; we don’t have a large circle of acquaintances.” What would you say?
b I have read all the FAQ's on the Centers of Influence. I did, however, have an additional question. When do we use the Business Plan? It seems like a valuable tool in this situation. Do we try to schedule a Financial Road Map® or a Phone Consultation™ first, and then resort to the Business Plan? We may have outworn our welcome by this time.
b Can you go through what a compelling Referral Conversation™ sounds like?
b I have put together a list of people I would like to meet; a Six Degrees of Separation list, but I'm not sure of the purpose of the list and where to go with it. What script do I use to contact these people? I know some of them through Church, and others I have never talked to. Am I approaching the people on this list to eventually complete their own Financial Road Map®, or am I wanting to meet them to tell them about the new direction of my business and asking where they feel I could meet potential Ideal Clients? Or am I trying to meet the people on this list for both reasons?
