I had provided a Values-Based Financial Planning book to someone and have been trying to schedule a Phone Consultation™. What is the response to someone who says they are very private people and are not comfortable sharing all their personal and financial information with me? They say that the only person who knows all that information is their tax person.

There is no requirement to share any private financial information on the Phone Consultation™, so this should not be an issue when scheduling Phone Consultations.

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 I am new to the Ideal Life Evaluation Program. A large percentage of the clients who fit my Ideal Client Profile are out of state. What should I do?
b I have had a number of Financial Road Map® appointments recently where the person has indicated they have gone through significant planning recently and their perception is they have everything in place or at least have had their financial house looked at. I offered to complete the full Financial Road Map® and explained that the information he was giving me about recent planning was a little premature. I also explained that I was only offering the full Financial Road Map® at this stage and that something may or may not come of this and followed up by mentioning that, either way, the result was ok. I get the feeling they are not differentiating me from other financial planners, though. The Financial Road Map® Phone appointments are conducted with a calm way of being and with no expectation that the person will become a client. What could I say in this situation to show the prospective client we are different in our approach even though the Financial Road Map® is also very different?
b I have a prospect couple with whom I have conducted the Self-Referral Conversation. They have agreed to receive a copy of Values-Based Financial Planning and a Phone Consultation™. They cannot complete the Phone Consultation™ until early January 2012. Would you recommend sending out the book now or waiting closer to January?
b In my Financial Road Map® Conversations I find that my clients want to talk about the deck, car and the children’s education when I am trying to dig out their Core Values. I am not sure if I am making mistakes or just need to redirect them to their values. I am telling them that we will discuss the Goals in just a few minutes but need for them to go through the Values Conversation™.
