I’m really struggling with leaving compelling phone messages to schedule Phone Consultations with people who have received the Values-Based Financial Planning book & newsletters. It is a part of the Turn-Key Business Model that we need to script pretty much for ourselves, as the Meaningful, Important, Significant, and Compelling information is different for all. I’m struggling with effectively turning the Meaningful, Important, Significant, and Compelling information into a compelling call.

Insert the Meaningful, Important, Significant, and Compelling information into the Follow-up Phone Call script (this is the "template"). Leave a message that is the same as what you would say if they answered the phone, except don't ask the machine questions and leave your phone number and name at writing pace. Twice.

When I am trying to go DEEP in the Referral Conversation and the client is explaining their feeling of comfort, security etc, and I am asking how does this effect you day to day etc, sometimes the clients start asking questions that take me out of the Referral Conversation. What is the best way to get back into the conversation without being rude or ignoring their questions?

The scripting at the end of the 15 minute Phone Consultation™ has us inviting the referral in to do the Financial Road Map®, when we told our client that we're sending this as a gift and we told the referral that our call was to help them get value from the concepts in the book. How do we convey with our words and our Way of Being™ over the phone that them coming into our office with all their documents to do their Financial Road Map® is not interpreted as a solicitation?

Can I have my assistant call a referral and have them schedule the Follow-Up phone call and the Phone Consultation™ on my calendar, or should I always do both of these calls?

You are conducting a Follow-Up Phone Call and the book recipient responds, “Before I agree to schedule the Phone Consultation™, I’d like to read the book first”. I normally tell the person at this point that the purpose of having the 15 minute Phone Consultation™ is to save them the time and trouble of having to read the entire book, that we will get the major concepts of the book out to them quickly so that they can more quickly be freed up to have more time for Meaningful, Important, Significant and Compelling Conversation. However, they almost always say that they want to read the book first. How would you handle this?

What would you do in this situation? I sent Values-Based Financial Planning to a Cardiologist from a self-referral I conducted a few months back. He would make a great client both financially and with his Way of Being™. He is, however, very busy. After leaving several follow up messages, he told me he was too busy and asked me to stop calling. I said ‘OK’ and we're still on good terms. I'll see him again this weekend. I was considering showing him my Deliverables Team Organization chart and also showing (not giving) him the 143 Deliverables checkpoints in an attempt to re-engage him with a better understanding of what we do. I believe he's looking at me like I'm a salesman.
