I wondered as an advisor who primarily was operating using asset-based fees if you guys have any templates or samples of the contracts which an advisor might use if he wished to switch to a flat annual retainer, which I know Bill recommends. When I set up my RIA firm the compliance firm drafted all my contracts and ADVs etc. using asset-based fee terminology and language. I just wondered if you might have a sample or template of what a client contract might look like for an annual retainer practice?

 We're sorry, but providing sample legal documents is outside the scope of this platform as we are not attorneys or compliance specialists.

b How do I better describe my value? One potential client thought he was already living out many of his values and thus enjoying his ideal life. How do I describe that what I do provides incredible value even for the person who enjoys managing his own investments and has enough money and time to take plenty of vacations?
b There are many forms that my clients must fill out. They are not something that can be done in the "let's take a few moments to make that happen" section. I need to prepare the paperwork and it takes more than a few moments. What I like to do is have the clients come back in to do the paperwork and go over any other information in the questionnaires I need. Then, after that, I will complete the plan and have the clients back in to go over that plan.
b What do I say to a client when they want to know why they are not a "good fit"?
b You have been speaking a lot lately on charging 1% fee for financial services instead of the typical wrap fee for just investment management. The only times I can think of that converting into a single fee for service would be the following: - I don't have any clients that can afford a Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue of $10,000+ (perhaps this is my own thinking getting in the way). - I work for another advisor who owns a franchise with our broker / dealer and I can't stray far from the compensation model he's set for his and my clients. If there's any other reasons not to make the transition to a single fee for service please let me know. Also, do advisors make the transition from earning money via wrap fees to a single fee for service all at once or over time?
b How do we "politely disengage" during the Financial Road Map Interview™ process prior to the Commitment to Hire Conversation™ if we don't feel it will be a "good fit"?
