I had a great Phone Consultation™ and a client is scheduled to come in to complete the Success Road Map®. When he comes in, do I re-do the Values Conversation™ or just re-cap the Values Conversation™ and do Pre-Commitment™ ?

Yes, one option is to revisit the Values Conversation™. Start with a review of the values so far and then continue with What's Important About _____ To You?, by inserting the final value the Client named during that conversation.

Presently, I offer a College Planning Workshop. This workshop has produced a steady stream of clients. Now I want to upgrade my practice and one way to do so is to offer the first meeting with potential clients as the Financial Road Map Interview™. I can see that a stark revision would be to offer a 20-minute phone conversation before we set the meetings. Is this script OK for inviting groups? "We offer a complimentary consultation which is a process designed for you to make the best possible choices about your money that are in alignment with your most important goals and most deeply held values. After today’s workshop, you are invited to schedule your appointment." Should I just jump to the 20-minute telephone interview before inviting them to my office for a meeting?

I am doing a client event soon and I am extremely new to the Values-Based Financial Planning™ process. I will have about 100 clients and guests there to discuss the first half of the year and what we are looking at in the second half. Is there anything I should mention to the clients as a whole about how I have initiated this Value-Based Financial Planning™ approach, or should I save that information for one-on-one meetings?

Could you help create a script for our staff to use when calling to confirm both the Phone Consultation and Financial Road Map Interview™ to increase our chances of having the appointment kept and have the best possible experience?

I am a new adviser with a company where I meet with a lot of people who currently own a product with us and I do a review on that particular product ,which is typically life insurance. Is there a smooth way to transition from the review into a discussion about the Financial Road Map®?

Someone asks me, “What do you do?” After I answer the question, what questions (impactful or otherwise) can I ask that would evoke an emotional response to move things forward?
