I am able to supplant the existing planner on the trifold information package that one of the most prominent realtors in my city uses for all her showings/sales/clients. It's a very glossy and first class look. I can have one of the front and center spots for advertising; right next to her business card. She tells me that several clients have said, "We used the inspector you recommended on your package." She doesn't actually recommend any inspector, but their presence on the package has, in her clients' minds, implied a recommendation. This realtor deals with mostly very high-end properties and clients. Do you have any suggestions to format or build a business card-sized ad?

No. Instead, make the realtor a client and follow the referral process.

b In my conversations, people have tried to draw the analogy of the Bachrach & Associates approach to that of setting up/implementing a "Virtual Family Office". Your comments?
b As a "newbie" to the Bachrach & Associates process, I have been told that the focus of this initial part of my education is on the Financial Road Map® presentation. However, assuming the success of my training, I will be getting clients. EXACTLY what is it that I can offer these people that I can deliver on that is consistent with the Bachrach & Associates training?
b What if Values-Based Financial Planning™ just doesn't work with my clients?
b For several years I have run an annual review program for all of my clients. As such this is something they have come to expect, generally around the same month each year. As I look to introduce the new world to them, including the values conversation, I seek assistance in terms of a script that clearly articulates the improvements to my service, as well as the road map conversation. For many years clients have received a circle chart and progress reports as part of my existing review process, so some of the ‘new world’ is something they will not perceive as added value. I am keen to introduce Values-Based Financial Planning™ to existing clients, outline to them the new direction of my business and that I invite them to be a part of this. I am struggling with a script to clearly differentiate the added value of the new world to them. Prior to their next scheduled review, as succinctly as possible, I would like to introduce the idea, outline an overview of the conversation we will have BEFORE we then run their standard annual review. Where clients realize the new world is for them, I would immediately slot them into the next space on my 3 meeting process schedule rather than run the review meeting. Everyone else I am obliged to run the review meeting and put the exercise down as practice, complete the work that comes from the review meeting itself and then see them in a year’s time. Either way, I am not sure how to best articulate the conversation. Could you suggest some ideas for a script to help me keep on track and ensure I best communicate the added value?
b Many of our Ideal Clients are business owners and, therefore, sponsor 401(k) retirement plans for their businesses. If we are the advisors to 401K plans where one or more of the owners are Ideal Client's, how should we be charging for the advisory services provided to the plan and participants? Should this be part of the PMARR that the Ideal Client is paying or should we charge a separate fee to the plan for the services?
