"As your new financial advisor, I would not recommend that you hire me if you could not afford me. I have no doubt in a year from now that you will wonder how you ever lived without me and feel that the $7,500 is a bargain. Would you like to get started?

After you complete a Financial Road Map Interview™ with a potential or future client, who should keep the Financial Road Map®?

I have conducted two successful telephone consultations resulting from mailing a Values Based Financial Planning™ book resulting from the Self Referral Process recently. Both prospects came to my office to complete their Financial Road Map®. When the prospects arrived, they brought their Values Based Financial Planning™ book and their Financial Road Map®. When I began the meeting, each prospect opened up their Financial Road Map® and now we had two Financial Road Maps® on the table. They were even completing their Financial Road Map® as I completed my copy during the recorded conversation. What should I have done or said that would have resulted in my Financial Road Map® being at the center of the table for the conversation?

I have relationships with many business leaders and professionals in my community that I believe will be great referral sources. Most of them are not currently clients, so I have not conducted Financial Road Map Interviews™ with them. It seems logical that I would want to get them and their spouses in for a Financial Road Map Interview™ before I start asking them for referrals, but I’d like some help on what a reasonable process would be to lead up to scheduling those Financial Road Map Interviews™, i.e. face to face meeting to explain how I am expanding my practice, delivering the book, sharing the diagram of Trusted Advisor and Subject Matter Expert relationships. Or should I treat them as a self referral and follow that process?

More and more, incoming cell phone calls are interrupting the Financial Road Map®. Is that something to address before we begin?

As a "newbie" to the Bachrach & Associates process, I have been told that the focus of this initial part of my education is on the Financial Road Map® presentation. However, assuming the success of my training, I will be getting clients. EXACTLY what is it that I can offer these people that I can deliver on that is consistent with the Bachrach & Associates training?
