While completing the Phone consultation, I asked the question, “Do you have the book handy?" Client - “YES." Advisor – “Perfect. Have you had a chance to read any of it?” Client - “YES." Advisor - “OK, do you have any questions?” Client – “No, the book is great. It’s too bad I did not meet you 3 years ago when I switched advisors.” What would you say to this?

b I will be meeting with clients I have known for 25 years and who have been clients for six. They retired two years ago and we have been working from a Retirement Plan I prepared for them when they became clients. How do I use the Financial Road Map® with these clients?
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 Do you have many advisors that meet at client’s houses during the transition to the ideal practice? If so, is there any wording that you would use in setting up those appointments?
b Often, when I am engaged in Self-Referrals with high-net worth prospects, I will encounter a prospect who expresses some interest in Values-Based Financial Planning™, however, they will wander off into a conversation about another, non-related investment topic. What scripting suggestions do you have for this circumstance?
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.
