The 'already have an advisor' question during the Follow Up Phone Call has a scripted answer (Mod.#5, p.103) that has not worked very well for me. Is it OK to use the script for the same question during the Phone Consultation (Mod.#6, p.43) as it addresses more directly the benefit of having a Financial Road Map® regardless of the advisor? [E.g. "That's fine. Then you'll appreciate Values-Based Financial Planning™ and having a Financial Road Map®. It'll enhance the work you do with your current advisor. You can compare your existing plan to your Financial Road Map®, and you'll know for sure that you're on track.]

b I am new to the Ideal Life Evaluation Program. A large percentage of the clients who fit my Ideal Client Profile are out of state. What should I do?
b What language do you use to set up a Financial Road Map® with prospects?
b When making the calls to schedule Financial Road Map® interviews with current clients, I've received the same reply numerous times. The client will often say something to the effect that he/she needs to check scheduling with their spouse and will get back to me with a time that works for the two of them. I reply that it is fine and confirm when I can check back in. I then send an email to the client I spoke with to serve as a reminder. Is there anything else I should be doing? I imagine that pressing to set an appointment on the phone, with language like, “Let's set a time that works for you, you'll check with your spouse and we can reschedule if necessary” is too “salesy”?
b How do I get people to come to my office for the first meeting when they frankly sometimes don’t even know if they want to meet me AND to bring their documents? I know referrals are best and I am working towards referrals only, but this other prospecting method does happen sometimes and may be happening for others as they get started building their practices.
b I am not sure if I should explain what the Financial Road Map® is about or if this is too much detail. Sometimes when we email the client a list of the documents needed for the meeting they seem surprised. What should I tell them when asked what is this all about?
