I am struggling not discussing an ongoing fee in Financial Road Map® Meeting. During this conversation the clients ask me how much? The Financial Road Map® Meeting has been around 45 minutes so far and going well. I say $5,000 for the initial plan. They say what do you get? I then run through my 2 page letter of engagement which outlines upfront and ongoing service offering and takes another 45 minutes. After 1.5 hours I feel like the clients are tired and the "would you like to proceed” has lost its presence because of the meeting time. How do I avoid this? I would love to skip the letter of engagement all together, should I just briefly talk about deliverables team (which I have) best-in-class Subject Matters Experts. I am also struggling to understand in the Implementation Meeting how to address the ongoing fee is $1k-$3k per month and not go over the plan in any detail.

I agree with you, it can't take 45 minutes to answer the questions about the cost and what they get. Listen to your recordings and figure out a way to be more succinct.

The fee is for the advice, not the plan detail.

After you complete a Financial Road Map Interview™ with a potential or future client, who should keep the Financial Road Map®?

A number of my clients do not involve their spouse in the financial decision making to the point where the husband (typically) wants to be the only one present. While I recognize that this process is more about values than it is about finances, the husband refuses to let the wife attend because she isn't involved in that type of decision making. Should I insist that both spouses be there knowing that the husband won't 'open up' if the wife is there?

What do I do when I have to have separate Financial Road Map® phone appointments for spouses?

What is the script for reviewing and / or redoing their Financial Road Maps®? Do I re-read their values and then slip into asking if they have more to add before proceeding onto their archived goals that need revised target dates and goals that need to be added? I feel uncomfortable just starting with a new blank Financial Road Maps®.

My RIA Financial Plan Contract specifies the delivery of a written financial plan that addresses certain specified areas. Implementation is totally separate and not included with the plan. I am having problems reconciling what I am now learning, with the requirements of my RIA (including a "complete" plan with recommendations). What do you recommend as a temporary "bridge' between the two approaches? (Note: both are "values based", they just go about it differently).
