Practice Foundation – Practice Management Practice Foundation is divided into two parts. In the practice management sessions, NAPFA members take you through all the key areas you will need to address as you launch and build your planning business. Among the major topics: marketing, meeting with prospective clients, setting fees, contracts and client agreements, technology software and hardware, and compliance tools and information that you can start implementing immediately.
Practice Foundation – Capstone The centerpiece of the program is the capstone. During this concluding session, experienced planners will discuss:
- Questions you ask a new or prospective client and information you provide during an initial call or meeting
- Details of your first meeting or conference call
- The Financial Plan - how to approach it, the timeframe for preparation, presenting the plan and implementation
- The next steps/follow-up meeting
