I was on the phone with my Accountability Coach, we did my 8++ hours of Client Acquisition Time and it equaled 21 hours. I've been doing an average of 8 hours even during the Academy weeks. Is there a list of activities I can get ideas from to fill the remaining hours?

My advice is to review the flow charts in the PowerPoint from the January Academy 2 that were posted online at www.committedadvisor.com under the "Resources" tab and then "The Referral Prcoess." What I call “points of entry” are good thought starters for building your list(s) of who you are going to call and where you are going to go to fill your Client Acquisition hours.

Whenever I am interacting with my colleagues the conversation would frequently come up about "closing". Sometimes it's difficult to maintain my intended Way of Being. Any suggestions to avoid getting distracted while not completely ignoring my co-workers?

For the last 10 years we go annually to Charity a function for a Dialysis Association. Our neighbors assist their sister (who is a kidney transplant recipient) to organize this. The neighbors nor the sister are Ideal Clients - not delagators. My aim is to get to the medical specialists and treat and do the kidney transplants and a couple that attend the charity ball each year. There are potentially a few people who could potentially be Ideal Clients at the ball with own business etc. My thoughts were of donating say 3 of the VBFP books per table ( the customized books are due arrive on 10th May and the Charity Ball is on the 14th May) I could include a Financial Road Map® conversation over the phone This may be beneficial to the people concerned and I may be lucky to get an Ideal Client. Perhaps I could contact the doctors at the dialysis unit later and mention I donated the books, if they received a copy and if not--- it may be of interest to them.--- would they like a book sent and set up a 20 minute phone conversation. Bill, what do you think? Can you suggest more or something else? If you agree I will try to draft up a couple of phone conversations --- first to the charity ball organizers (my friends) and secondly the doctors at the dialysis unit.

My practice is currently not profitable or efficient and I am constantly dealing with client and administrative problems. Should I get my back office in order first or get some money in the door now and worry about the back office later?

After listening to Bill's May 2009 webinar, I am committed to determining who the best financial planners. Should I interview other financial planners over coffee as suggested also or just figure out who the Values-Based Financial Planners are and know the rest can't possibly provide all 110 deliverable checkpoints?

Should I record all meetings, not just the Financial Road Map®?
