This quiz approach can often encourage the recipient to recognize their gaps or deficiencies within that particular area.

Make it a real story: Use situations that you have experienced working with clients (changing the names and some details of course) these real life stories not only clarify the kinds of clients that are referred to you but they identify what you are actually able to do for these clients:
Dear first name,I wanted to share a true story that reinforces why I love what I do. I was recently referred a new client, she was a woman in her 60s who recently lost her husband. She came to me emotionally distraught and fearful about her financial affairs. She didn’t know who to turn to nor who she could trust. After many hours of meeting with her, guiding her and helping her understand her financial picture today she is busy rebuilding her life, with less worry and concern over her daily financial issues. In fact just yesterday she came into the office to share her pictures from her recent vacation, a cruise to Alaska that she has always wanted to experience.
It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do.
