Before the Financial Road Map® meeting, I find myself talking about all the ways I'm different from the average advisor. I discuss the 5 Critical Reports, visualizing your Ideal Life, not being on commission, etc. I do this with people who have and have not worked with an "advisor" in the past. Sometimes it must sound like I'm too busy defending myself rather than being confident in the process. Should I even discuss how I'm different or should I just take them through the process and trust that they will come up with these discoveries on their own?

I am a CPA and I am beginning to use the Financial Road Map® to bring more of our tax clients on as financial planning Why am I so hesitant to make calls to my existing clients? I know most of my tax clients have Financial Advisors and I am always worried that they think I am just trying to sell them something. What's wrong with me?

I gave a Values Based Financial Planning™ book to a prospective Ideal Client during a business meeting. I set up an appointment with him, however part of the purpose of the meeting is also to explore how he can help me build my business. When we have the actual meeting, should I do the Financial Road Map® with him or have the referral conversation.

Having met a group of professionals only 1 time at a small group meeting - what would you suggest I do to try and get these individuals as Financial Road Map® Clients? What is the 1st step?

Do you have a script for appointment setting that works with a non referred client you are in the beginning stages with, that makes them feel comfortable bringing their large pile of documents to a first meeting?

I conducted a Self-Referral and I have made many Follow-Up Calls without a return call to date. I believe I gathered good Meaningful, Important, Significant, and Compelling information and inputted it appropriately. When leaving a Follow-Up Call message after many attempts is there anything you would add to the Follow-Up Call script to try and get closure – to find out if they interested in a Phone Consultation™ or not?
