If you are trying to close a $10,000 deal, would it help if the potential customer could talk to a satisfied customer?
It's obvious, your satisfied customers are your best sales people, and they will outsell you by 100 times. You can say how good you are, until you are blue in the face, but a 2 minute conversation between a potential customer and a satisfied customer will close the deal very quickly.
