Yes. Restate the part telling exactly what they get. Remember, these are memorized words that you have said many, many, many times. It’s the first time for them. Sometimes people need to hear them more than once to get it.

That’s why it’s so important for you to record, so you can listen to yourself to be sure you clearly articulate and go at a pace that is effective for the first time listener not for you who’s said it 100 times. Remember, your Deliverables Team isn’t so much discussed as they are incorporated into the implementation of the plan’s action items.

For example, if there are action items related to estate planning you schedule the meeting with the estate lawyer. Building the Deliverables Team and the processes that surround this a very important element for you to deliver on the Values-Based Financial Planning™ promise.

In the Financial Road Map Interview™ script there is no area where the fees are discussed. Fees are obviously an important part of a client’s decision making, when should this be mentioned during the Financial Road Map Interview™? Is there a specific way this should be projected to the client?

I am new to Values-Based Financial Planning™ and under my organization I do not yet have a Deliverables Team. We are in the process of creating it but it may be months to a year down the road as an organization. How do I build a plan in the meantime that will create or show how my quoted fee or desired fee of $5000 per year is paid or able to be paid by the client?

At the end of the most recent webinar you gave an example of what you would say to a prospect who wanted to wait on doing a plan. One of the things you mentioned is that the advisor’s main benefit is not in the plan or any other technical work, but in the coaching and accountability. I hate to ask, but why don’t we include that in the script to make sure every prospect knows just what they are getting and why this will be different?

How does one “politely disengage” from existing clients with whom I no longer want to work? Perhaps an example?

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?
