5. The Sales Process
a. Discovery Meeting
The cornerstone of their sales process is a comprehensive discovery meeting conducted via Zoom, lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. This meeting is structured into four main sections:
-
Current Situation:
Assessing the client's current financial status and personal circumstances.[16:58]

"We get very in-depth, much more in-depth questions than most financial advisors or bankers." [16:58] -
Goals:
Understanding personal, professional, and financial goals for the next 1-5 years.[18:03]
Laurent Munay:
"What are your goals? Personal, professional, and financial." [18:03] -
Concerns/Risks:
Identifying potential obstacles that could derail their goals.[18:25]
Laurent Munay:
"What could throw you off track personally, professionally, and financially?" [18:25] -
Philosophical Questions:
Exploring the client's money mindset and underlying beliefs about wealth.[19:57]
Laurent Munay:
"What is your philosophy on money? What did your parents teach you about saving and investing?" [19:57]
[19:49]

"We present a one to two-page proposal, documenting what we discussed and outlining our recommendations." [33:19]
Kayvon Kay:
"Talk less, listen more – the less it’s going through your head, the less you talk, the more you sell." [35:25]
6. Overcoming Objections and Enhancing the Sales Process
Laurent acknowledges the importance of addressing client concerns head-on and maintaining transparency throughout the process. Kayvon suggests incorporating "cost of inaction" questions to highlight the consequences of not taking proactive financial steps.
[38:29]
Kayvon Kay:
"It's called the cost of inaction because people don't move forward unless the pain is greater." [38:29]
This addition aims to make clients more aware of the potential risks of inaction, thereby reinforcing the value of Safe Pacific Financial's services.

Laurent elaborates on specialized insurance strategies tailored for Canadian business owners, emphasizing tax benefits and growth opportunities through life insurance policies.
[04:34]
Laurent Munay:
"Life insurance in Canada is tax-exempt, and you can put cash inside certain types of life insurance policies where it grows tax-deferred." [04:34]
He introduces their proprietary strategy, "Wealth Multiplier," designed specifically for the Canadian market, differentiating it from similar concepts like Infinite Banking.
[05:50]
Laurent Munay:
"We have our version called the Wealth Multiplier, which is really specific for Canadian business owners." [05:50]

He shares an example of a client overwhelmed by an oversold insurance policy, illustrating the importance of their thorough discovery process.
