I want to keep accurate numbers and had a question about just what qualifies as Ideal Client Acquisition Time. I'm involved in Self Referrals. If I am talking to someone and during the conversation, I realize that they don't have the resources to become an Ideal Client, would it qualify for Ideal Client Acquisition time if I would then offer to send the book, potential Financial Road Map®, etc. I'm struggling with not counting that as Ideal Client Acquisition time vs. counting it because "everyone deserves a Financial Road Map®". Your thoughts, please.

I believe you will be much more productive if you do not include doing Financial Road Maps® for people who have no possibility of becoming Ideal Clients as part of your Ideal Client Acquisition time.

I have worked with many of my existing clients for several years and when we first met I conducted a Values Conversation but did not continue through the remaining parts. Now I am having discussions with these people by the Old World/New World™ Conversations. My question is do I do a completely new Financial Road map® from start to finish or do I start from their old staircase of answers. Understand most of these clients had the Values Conversation over 5 years ago.

Why does Values-Based Financial Planning™ have me put everything on my calendar?

The emphasis in Values Based Financial Planning™ is obviously on how to make one's money work to the best advantage for the client. Some people might question this philosophy as being less than a balanced approach to other quality aspects of life's journey. How might we respond to such a question?

Can you clarify when to give a Values-Based Financial Planning™ book to an existing client? I set appointments with existing clients and do the Old World, New World introduction and then the Financial Road Map®. Should I always give the Values-Based Financial Planning™ book to the clients if they hire me?

What if the amount they already pay just for AUM is more than the Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue?
