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?

Nothing. Just continue the process and facilitate the phone consultation.

b My friend, a CFO of local company, referred to me his mother, who just relocated to our community. He will be present at our Financial Road Map® meeting. He's a bright person, strong personality and a CPA. I have sent him a book because I would also like to do his Financial Road Map®. How do I keep control of the meeting in case he wants to interject his opinions during his mother’s Financial Road Map®?
b We are refining the process and scripting the AM uses when sending both an email and scripting on the phone when reminding a prospect of their upcoming Financial Road Map™ Meeting. The goal is to have the Financial Road Map™ meeting confirmed so it occurs. Would you send the email first, for example 3 days prior to the Financial Road Map™ and then also have the AM make the phone call to confirm the Financial Road Map™ meeting? How many days before the Financial Road Map™ meeting would you have the email and phone?
b I am very new to this process. Because of some recent (very positive) publicity, we are receiving a number of telephone inquiries. What pre-screening questions should I have my assistant ask interested callers before making appointments with them?
b 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?
b Do you have a script for appointment setting that works with a non referred client you are in the beginning stages with, that makes them feel comfortable bringing their large pile of documents to a first meeting?
