The purpose of the self-referral process is to determine if it makes sense to make the offer of putting the Values-Based Financial Planning book and 20-minutes on their calendar to discuss the concepts in the book. If there is relevance for them, based on what you discovered when you asked questions, you will schedule the 20-minute Phone Consultation, send them or give them the book, and mail them newsletters.

b How do you come up with the fees? I know what I would like to charge to meet my business plan goals. But that may not be the price the customer may be willing to pay. Based on my Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue calculation, I need to charge my clients about $20,000. Will clients be willing to pay that amount for the role of an orchestra conductor?
