What is the course of action if the Ideal Client agrees to move forward after the Commitment to Hire Conversation, but does not carry a check-book (very few people these days do)? Are documents accepted? Is the follow-up meeting planned? Work started? Etc.?

When you schedule the appointment ask them to bring their checkbook. If they don’t bring it, just have them mail one.

b Is the insurance listed on the Financial Road Map® in that order for a particular reason? If yes, should the insurance grid mirror this order? As I was putting together the grid, I realized it made it easier to quickly refer to them if they were in the same order - and not risk leaving something important out. What drove the choice of order for insurance on the Financial Road Map®?
b Under my current model, there are different means of compensation, depending upon the deliverable (I.e., planning fee, % of AUM, insurance commission, other). It seems that the planning fee would logically be part of the Commitment to Hire. When would the other pieces be brought into the discussion?
b How do we respond to someone when they say, "$7500/per year (our PMARR) is a lot of money?”
b How do you determine what Planning Fee is appropriate for each client? I would imagine that different client circumstances require a different Planning Fee. You mention on tape from $2500-$3000. This seems high to me.
b Clients agree to pay for their plan (and pay at the end of the first meeting) $5,500 to have their Implementation Plan written. My annual ongoing Ideal Client Fee is $11,800. Do I collect this (annual ongoing fee upfront) from them at the same first meeting or do I do it at Implementation Meeting?
