What is the script for reviewing and / or redoing their Financial Road Maps®? Do I re-read their values and then slip into asking if they have more to add before proceeding onto their archived goals that need revised target dates and goals that need to be added? I feel uncomfortable just starting with a new blank Financial Road Maps®.

You review their current Financial Road Map®, after the review of their values and the goals on their Financial Road Map, ask if they have new goals to add and / or existing goals to eliminate or modify.

What do you think of this scripting when the prospective clients are talking in great detail: “I appreciate that you want to tell me the details about this, and should we decide to work together professionally, I will need to know more. For the purpose of this exercise, however, I just need to summarize the facts. I have 8 minutes budgeted for this. Would you be willing to give me a few minutes to go through your documents?"

I found it beneficial to receive a PDF copy of my Success Road Map®, to easily reference versus scanning my actual one. Do we have something similar to provide to customers. For example, once I do a Financial Road Map®, I would like to maintain one in my clients file and reference that in every meeting. I would also like the client to have one - do you have a tool or suggestions to simplify that?

When I do progress meetings with clients and review the Values Staircase™ I originally did with them a year or two years ago, it does not feel as crisp as a new one would. Would you ever recommend re-doing the Values Staircase™ with existing clients now that I am much more comfortable with the process?

We do not do tax preparation in our office so when preparing end-of-year tax planning are we meeting with the client and their Certified Public Accountant or just the Certified Public Accountant? This seems to be a fourth meeting. As we begin time-blocking the Three Meeting Process we are realizing that having these meetings with all 124 Ideal Clients (or their Certified Public Accountants) in September, October, and November will require a substantial amount of time. How do we keep on track with the Three Meeting Process with this fourth meeting?

How often do you update the Financial Road Map® and what exactly is updated?
