I have a large pool of prospective clients that deal with and trust my firms in a variety of areas but don't know me personally. I am currently calling these people to schedule Financial Road Map Interviews™ but wondered whether I should be using the Self-Referral process as per the slides on the site with the offer, MISC, Book and Phone Consultation prior to a Financial Road Map Interview™ or just go straight to a Financial Road Map Interview™? So far the response has been positive to the Financial Road Map Interview™ but I’m not sure they have enough background to understand what we will do prior to the meeting. What would you recommend?

Yes, use the self-referral process.

b How do I approach the planning idea vs. the investment idea? I get referrals from our credit union employees, and many of these people do not want or need “planning” services. Most of them aren’t prepared to do a Financial Road Map®, and many times the other spouse is not there. But some of the seemingly small investors have other assets, and could benefit from the whole process. Any suggestions as to how to handle that?
b Should I be sending Values Based Financial Planning™ Newsletters to my Ideal Clients as well as referred prospects? How often? Monthly? Quarterly?
b Do you recommend running Facebook ads or any other social media outlet for clients?
b In the Financial Road Map Interview™, the Pre-Commitment script is just slightly different from the Referral Phone Appointment script. Is their any preference to use one script or the other in either of these instances?
b In late March I was scheduling an estate planning session for one of my clients with a law firm which I have vetted as highly qualified to handle personal and business estate planning matters. There are six estate planning attorneys in this firm. In a personal conversation with the attorney to prepare for the client estate planning meeting I mentioned the program I had embraced called Values Based Financial Planning™ and after an overview of the program, he asked if I would come to a meeting in June and present Values Based Financial Planning™ to all six of the attorneys. I discussed the situation with my accountability coach and she recommended I send him a copy of the book, Values-Based Financial Planning. Follow up with a phone call to arrange a personal meeting to complete the Financial Road Map™. The question is what process should I implement to handle the meeting with the other five attorneys in June?
