Values Based Financial Planning™ Workshop

Monday, 24 November 2008 -  London

WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL - The next VBFP Workshop will take place in April

Introduction

There has been increasing interest in 'lifestyle' Financial Planning in the UK, as planners recognise that having expertise in financial products alone is no longer sufficient as a foundation for a long term mutually rewarding client relationship.

In an increasingly commoditised world, many people are seeking a relationship with a professional financial adviser built on trust and understanding, within which the planner works with them to achieve agreed life goals over time. But how does an adviser create trust quickly? How can today's planner formulate a powerful and compelling client proposition that motivates and inspires clients to take action? How should the planner position him/herself to be the client's principal trusted adviser? And how can a plan be created that will form not only a platform for immediate action but also a basis for a lasting advisory and financial coaching relationship?

Andy Jervis is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional who can provide some of the answers to these questions. In 2002 Andy began to implement the teaching of Bill Bachrach of Bachrach Associates in San Diego, California, and his Values Based Financial Planning™ methodology. The results on Andy's business have been profound, and in this workshop Andy will explain some of the key ideas that he has learned and how he has put them into practice in his own business. The workshop will be valuable for planners who are seeking a powerful model for building a 'lifestyle' Financial Planning practice, and for whom their objective is to make a steep change in their earnings whilst working less time and with much greater simplicity and more fun than they are currently experiencing.

Delegate Feedback From 2007

“The ‘value based’ approach – an opportunity to give value to fewer clients but increase profitability and quality time.”
 
“(The most valuable aspect of this event was) the values conversation; getting an understanding of how this works & practicing it to see how easy it is and what it feels like.”
 
“(The programme) over achieved (my expectations).  Informative, real life focused.”
 
“The participation (exercises we were asked to do) really allowed me to experience what a client would feel during the process.  It certainly delivered some home truths.”
 
“(This workshop) made me really think about what we’re doing & how we can improve.”
 
“A very useful insight into the Bachrach system.”

 “Very informative, extremely useful & a powerful concept.”
