When I attend self-referral functions and events and I am able to go deep and put the offer on the table, some of these people believe that they have everything in order and seem to be very organized and know exactly what they want to do with their life, or they say that their accountant does all that . I believe they would gain benefit from the concepts of Values-Based Financial Planning if they had a chance to understand what Values-Based Financial Planning was and may reconsider their own arrangements. Do you have any coaching that would help move these people to the next step in the process, that is accepting the book and a 20 minute conversation over the phone?

Use the same responses as you would when you make the Follow-Up Phone Call to a referral who says they already have an advisor or have everything in order.

b I ask a prospect to bring in their documents and they state that they have a really detailed spreadsheet with everything on it. What is a quick and easy response to help the individual understand why I need their documents and NOT a summary of numbers?
b I have just started the program and just starting to practice the Financial Road Map Interview™. However, in my client base I have a number of high net worth clients who are retired. In the Financial Road Map® conversations for existing clients, how do you approach the financial independence stage as these clients are already retired living off their investments? Just wondering how this fits in for this type of client as it looks more like the Financial Road Map Interview™ is for clients who are not there yet.
b How many days before the Phone Consultation would you have the email and phone?
b I am scheduling a Financial Road Map® Old World New World™ meeting and the client says his wife may not want to come. I know she should be at the meeting for both of them to experience the Financial Road Map® together. What should I say to overcome the objection and make both of them understand she needs to be there?
b 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?
