Jamie discusses the topic of DIYers (Do-It-Yourselfers) and the challenges they pose to financial professionals.

People approached them seeking information, which prompted a change in approach to charging for prospect appointments. No matter what, your primary focus should always be on delivering as much value as possible during these meetings.
