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?

You can do it any way you choose. Many advisors bill it quarterly and have it automatically deducted from an account, usually their money market account.

How do you complete the insurance section? Some types of insurance aren't easily summarized by a number, for example auto, disability, long-term care, etc.

I recently had an experience where I had push back from a client when I asked for where all of their assets were located and then found a very small asset at another firm that they had opened up recently. It kind of irritated me and I asked why they had bought the policy. The client responded a little negatively and now I am wondering whether or not I should re-engage them with the Financial Road Map® and ask the Commitment to Implement Conversation™ questions or politely tell them that I do not want to work with them?

Toward the end of the All the Money Conversation™ there's the following statement, "And there you have it. Any surprises so far?” What does the "it" refer to?

Should I let the client explain their financial documents? I find that it's often easier if the client explains their financial documents, since they know how to best interpret what they've brought.

If we cannot charge a fee now, but may be able to in the future, how do you recommend discussing this with clients when we complete the Financial Road Map?
