I would like clarification on the use of the Financial Road Map® in Progress Meetings. My understanding is that you are to prepare a new Financial Road Map® with the updated Goals and Current Value of Funds in the All the Money section. We are looking at whether there is a more efficient way of doing this, such as using soft copy that is updated at every progress meeting, given that the Goals and All the Money section are the only areas that are changed. Can you please set the record straight on how this is to be prepared for the meeting? We are trying to reduce any unnecessary work.

b The participants in happy relationships can sometimes have different ideas about the value of money, goals and how resources can/should be used to accomplish goals. How is this handled by the Bachrach & Associates process?
b Can you point me in the right direction for a letter or document I can provide Potential Ideal Clients who may want to talk with existing Ideal Clients about our work. Is there a template – I am sure it has been spoken about but cannot easily find anything online. I Have a 2nd round meeting this Friday with Potential Ideal Clients that said yes, and then thought about the fee and said it was too much. I want to have something I can give for them to call existing Ideal Clients. Have chatted with some existing Ideal Clients and they are happy to take calls.
b I have done my first few Financial Road Maps® and 2 people were adamant against recording the meeting. Should I press on without recording or politely disengage with this client. Any suggestions on how to address these concerns beyond the script?
b At the point where I asked if the Financial Road Map® was something that he would like to complete with his partner, he said that they look at their goals every year. I asked the above question twice and still got no real response. How would you respond to this and people who seem to understand their values really well? I had the feeling that he may not be an ideal client given this interaction but wanted to give them the experience nevertheless.
b Many retired clients do not have debt or a need for additional life insurance or they are not insurable. How detailed should we get if the client has sufficient income to cover all living expenses and the only area we could assist with is their current investment portfolio.
