During a Group Referral, the first person I offered the book to would not provide her business card and Ideal Life Worksheet in exchange for the book. I was not sure what to do, so I simply smiled and gave her the book (I was thinking, ‘OK then, no book for you’). The other seven people in the group followed the process perfectly and gave me their business cards and Ideal Life Worksheets in exchange for the book. Is there anything you would have said to the first person who would not provide their business card and Ideal Life Worksheet?

b When I start discussing Values-Based Financial Planning™ to an Old World client, they stop and ask me why I am doing this since I already covered this when we first met. (In the past I would discuss what's important to them before discussing their concrete goals.) They only want to discuss the issues at hand. How do I handle this question?
b What is the best course of action to take when a prospective client comes in with no financial documents when they have been asked specifically to bring them in? What if they have driven a very long way for the meeting?
b Do you always scan or copy the documents that the clients bring with them?
b I frequently work with wealthy widows. They are not part of a couple, nor are they looking to begin a relationship. Is there a version of the Financial Road Map® that has one Values Staircase™ or do you have any advice on how to effectively handle this situation the best way possible?
b I'm not convinced I have the complete answer to the question, ‘What kind of clients do you serve best?’ Do you have any suggestions? We work with corporate executives, professionals, and business owners that want to spend more time with their families and doing things that are important to them. These people are delegators that have a strong desire to achieve their goals. The clients we serve best have financial assets of over $900,000.
