When emailing prospects to confirm phone appointments, Financial Road Map meetings®, I’ve been including the following: Phone meetings: Time, day, what number I’ll call them up, and reason for meeting, including their MISC info Financial Road Map® Meeting confirmation: Time, day, reason to complete Financial Road Map® including their staircase info, directions to office, and documents to bring. And same info again closer to the day of the meeting, if they scheduled far in advance or if they reschedule. Is this an okay way to go about contacting referrals and confirming meetings?

b I need to make sure I am on the right track. Is the purpose of the self referral conversation to set a Phone Consultation Appointment? Is it important to go deep even if the prospect is welcoming to receive the Values-Based Financial Planning™ book and Newsletters and agrees to the Phone Consultation?
b Several times I've run into the situation where people to whom I've talked or sent the book have responded with a standard, "I'm too busy." My response is, "That's exactly why we need to talk on the phone (or whatever). So you can find out how to have balance in your life you won't have to say, ‘I'm too busy’.” How would you respond to, "I'm too busy?"
b During the Phone Consultation™, I ask "Is that the kind of strategy you could get excited about? The client responds, "I don't really think this is relevant to me, it would be great for younger people who are working towards retirement and we are already retired." How would you address this response?
b What do I do or say when I am in the middle or end of the Pre-Commitment to Hire™ conversation during the phone consultation or Financial Road Map Interview™ and the client interrupts and states additional values? Should I continue to write those down and then restart again?
b I have three people that I would like to introduce to Values-Based Financial Planning™ by sending your book. While I know these people, I do not know enough Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling (MISC) information to write a compelling note on the book and to make a meaningful Follow-Up phone call. I want to make sure I know how the concepts can be valuable to them when I call. I want to call these people and ask them the appropriate Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling questions to be able to do just that. I would appreciate you giving me your suggested words for how the initial part of my phone conversation should go with them to lead into the Meaningful, Important, Significant, & Compelling conversation.
