I am in the Ideal Life Evaluation Program. I don't have all that many clients and am through most of them with the Financial Road Map®. What is the best way to build a list of people to call? I am not into the program enough yet that I have the Referral Conversation™ available to me.

Use the Financial Road Map® appointment setting script and contact all of your past prospects and invite them to come in to complete their Financial Road Map®. You may also want to do this with your friends, family, and colleagues from your previous career - if you had one.

When answering questions about the benefit to them to have their Financial Road Map® completed just speak from your heart about what you have experienced from having your own Financial Road Map® completed and completing Financial Road Maps® for your clients and others.

If you are uncertain how your clients feel about having their Financial Road Map® completed, ask them this question: "What has been the benefit or value to you in having your Financial Road Map® completed?" Listen to what they have to say and incorporate what they tell you when speaking with others about scheduling an appointment with you to complete their Financial Road Map®.

People will respond positively to you when you come from a place of wanting to help them, rather than wanting to sell them.

b How should I handle an existing Ideal Client who refuses to give me referrals during an Implementation Meeting? I am anticipating they will not give me referrals because they have not done so in the past.
b I have put together a list of people I would like to meet; a Six Degrees of Separation list, but I'm not sure of the purpose of the list and where to go with it. What script do I use to contact these people? I know some of them through Church, and others I have never talked to. Am I approaching the people on this list to eventually complete their own Financial Road Map®, or am I wanting to meet them to tell them about the new direction of my business and asking where they feel I could meet potential Ideal Clients? Or am I trying to meet the people on this list for both reasons?
b I have had the Referral Conversation™ at my last two Progress Meetings and the response has been positive both times…. “I will get a list of people to introduce Values Based Financial Planning™ to, for our next meeting”. What would you say to her when she has NOT provided the list of people to introduced Values Based Financial Planning™ to that she has mentioned she would bring now twice?
b I had a client who referred three friends to me at an Implementation Meeting. After my client contacted her friends, one did not want to receive the Values-Based Financial Planning™ book. I am not sure here whether I should enquire at our next meeting to see why they did not want to receive the Values-Based Financial Planning™ book.
b A client reluctant to give referrals says, “I am the supervisor of everyone I with whom I work. I am uncomfortable with introducing these folks given the potential for people to see it as me using my position to influence my staff.” That one was new for me. Suggestions?
