ADVICE

Use Raw Screenshots As Proof

  • Save raw customer messages (texts, DMs, emails) as screenshots and reuse them in prospecting and late-stage deals.
  • Use these unpolished proofs to lower buyer risk and accelerate decisions.
ADVICE

Write Referral Emails For Customers

  • Write the referral email for your customer and make it trivial for them to forward.
  • Use the PEERS framework: Problem, Experience, Implementation, ROI, Support.
ADVICE

Trade Concessions For References

  • Build reference commitments into contracts as quid pro quo for concessions.
  • Request logos, reference emails/calls, or video case studies in exchange for special terms.
