#543 - How to Build a Deal Closing Machine With Screenshot References | Krysten Conner

How top sellers use customer proof to reduce risk, accelerate deals, and close with confidence featuring Krysten Conner’s real world framework for social proof, references, and late stage deal momentum. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Screenshots beat polished proof: Raw texts, DMs, and unpolished customer messages feel real and instantly lower buyer risk. Use them in prospecting and late stage deals instead of overproduced case studies. Stop defaulting to reference calls: Reference calls are the highest effort option. First try screenshots, forwarded customer emails, tailored demos, or CSM intros to answer the real risk behind the ask. Prep references to tell the truth: The best reference includes a hiccup and how it was fixed. Perfect stories feel fake. Credible stories close deals. One thing to do right now: Spend 30 minutes pinging past customers you built relationships with. No ask. Just a check in. Build your reference list before you urgently need it.

We break down the exact cold call script that’s helped book meetings on 1 out of every 3 connects then prove it by making live cold calls on camera. Armand Farrokh and Nick Cegelski walk through the full cold call framework they’ve used as operators, leaders, and authors of *Cold Calling Sucks (And That’s Why It Works) from opener, to pitch, to objection handling with real examples and zero theory fluff. You’ll learn how to use the “Heard the name tossed around” opener to break the telemarketer stigma, why context-first openers outperform permission begging, how to pitch by leading with the problem (not the product), and how to handle objections using the 'Mr. Miyagi method' without sounding pushy or desperate. Then they pick up the phone and make live cold calls showing exactly how the script holds up in real conversations, where reps usually get stuck, and how tone, confidence, and EQ matter more than saying the “perfect” words.
