I have been given the opportunity to give a 10 minute presentation to a group of people. I need 20minutes if I were to go through the recommended ideal life group presentation. Do you have any thoughts on what I should focus my time on in the presentation?

Tell them why giving you 20 minutes will be worth it for the group. Then follow the process we have given you. A 10-minute group referral process does not exist.

If you can't get the time you need to accomplish the task, don't accept the invitation.

(Analogy for why this should be an easy decision: If the pilot on your next flight to America was told that he would only be given enough fuel to get halfway there, what would you hope he does: (s) Accept half the fuel and do the best he can with a water landing in the Pacific Ocean or (b) Only agree to fly a plane that has enough fuel to get to the destination?)

What advice would you give to those who are starting out with ZERO clients as to the best way of generating interest?

I completed a self-referral with a prospect. My Admin Manager has mailed out the required 8 Values Based Financial Planning™ newsletters and I scheduled the Phone Consultation. When I called the prospect for our scheduled Phone Consultation they had to reschedule. My Admin. Manager stopped sending the Values Based Financial Planning™ newsletters after we mailed 8 out. I have now been calling the prospect again to reschedule the Phone Consultation. My question is should we continue to mail the Values Based Financial Planning™ newsletters beyond the 8 issues and include your new letter (which outlines I will contact them to schedule 20 minute Phone Consultation) that accompanies it until the Phone Consultation is rescheduled?

I completed a self-referral with my client, Laura, gave her the book, and scheduled a Phone Consultation with her on March 25th. Here is the note I put on the book with the M.I.S.C I gathered from her. “I appreciated you sharing with me some of your interests in travelling like your upcoming trip in August to Camino Spain. As well as, maintaining a balanced life and enjoying the outdoors going downhill skiing, snowshoeing and mountain biking. I am looking forward to speaking with you on March 25th at 11:30 AM about how some of the concepts in the book can be of value to you in enhancing your quality of life.” She called back to reschedule the Phone Consultation and sent the following email below suggesting to now do the phone consultation with her husband instead as he handles the investments and financial planning. She is thinking she should not be involved as she does not handle the investments and financial planning. What would you say to get her back on track as to the PURPOSE of the phone consultation and her involvement in it as well? Email - Hi there, Thank you for your email. I took a quick look at the book and passed it over to my husband Rodger as he handles our investments and financial planning. He wants to read it. He’s away on business this week and won’t be able to get to it. I’ll let him know the time slots and see if you can set something up with him when he gets back. Kind regards, Laura

May I use a different gift or book other than the Values-Based Financial Planning™ book?

Bill, you talked about meeting with the Top Realtors in the area. I have been calling them and starting the conversation with the following: Hi_________, my name is John Smith. I am rather new to my area, and I am looking to expand my networking relationships with experts in the local region. As I was looking into the area of _________, your name keeps rising to the top. So I thought I would give you a call and see if you would like to have coffee and I could learn more about your business, tell you a little about mine, and see how we could help push each other forward to greater success. They have all taken it like I was trying to sell them something, even after I explain that I am not selling anything and just want to get to know them and how they have become so successful in their area of expertise. Please provide feedback on the script I have been using and help me wordsmith it so that I am starting the conversation or voicemail with the proper tone.
