Reference Letter
Interesting concept here. Can you get your customer to write on one sheet of their letterhead just how fantastic you have been for them? If you can such a document is dynamite. Once received, never produce until the potential customer has the pen in their hand at the order ceremony. I really mean that.

Repeatable Sales Process

What the potential customer can expect to see come back after shelling out for your amazing offering.
