After the Referral Conversation at an Implementation or Progress Meeting, send an email with a summary of the Referral Conversation. In that summary will be a few key things that are important for your client to share with the referral during that introduction to you.

These key things are listed below: (Template for what you, the advisor, are emailing to your client for them to introduce you to their referral)

1. That you have asked me to send them a copy of Values-Based Financial Planning… no strings attached.
2. The reason you believe that their knowing me and about Values-Based Financial Planning will help have some positive impact on something that matters to them.
3. How knowing me, and about Values-Based Financial Planning, has impacted you by __________. (insert the earlier, deep emotional response from your client about the value to them)
4. That I am not trying to sell them anything.
5. Something favorable about my character or personality. (Not something about my technical ability as an advisor.)

b I completed a self-referral with a prospect. My Admin Manager has mailed out the required 8 Values Based Financial Planning™ newsletters and I scheduled the Phone Consultation. When I called the prospect for our scheduled Phone Consultation they had to reschedule. My Admin. Manager stopped sending the Values Based Financial Planning™ newsletters after we mailed 8 out. I have now been calling the prospect again to reschedule the Phone Consultation. My question is should we continue to mail the Values Based Financial Planning™ newsletters beyond the 8 issues and include your new letter (which outlines I will contact them to schedule 20 minute Phone Consultation) that accompanies it until the Phone Consultation is rescheduled?
b Isn’t it kind of like bait and switch when I meet with a new Strategic Partner to do the Financial Road Map®, show them the Values Based Financial Planning™ book, and then ask for client referrals? How do I reconcile that situation?
b I have relationships with many business leaders and professionals in my community that I believe will be great referral sources. Most of them are not currently clients, so I have not conducted Financial Road Map Interviews™ with them. It seems logical that I would want to get them and their spouses in for a Financial Road Map Interview™ before I start asking them for referrals, but I’d like some help on what a reasonable process would be to lead up to scheduling those Financial Road Map Interviews™, i.e. face to face meeting to explain how I am expanding my practice, delivering the book, sharing the diagram of Trusted Advisor and Subject Matter Expert relationships. Or should I treat them as a self referral and follow that process?
b Could I get an example of wording in regards to making a self referral call to an acquaintance in which he did not have enough M.I.S.C. information about them to introduce Vales-Based Financial Planning™ to them?
b Should I be sending Values Based Financial Planning™ Newsletters to my Ideal Clients as well as referred prospects? How often? Monthly? Quarterly?
