Inside Customer References

01

Pick the deal, confirm the profile

Start from one of your open deals, one of your accounts with no open deal, or any deal by name. PrismCI reads the opportunity, its MEDDPICC notes and the five most recent linked calls to draft a deal profile (the competitor in play, needs, current tech, buyer roles, quotes), each line with its source and confidence. You fix anything, and the confirmed profile is reused until the deal changes.

02

Ranked by fit, with the reasons

Best fits and backups are ranked by a 0 to 100 fit score from weights your admin sets (competitor, industry, needs, size, products, region). Each card says why it fits and what the customer can answer, with the evidence. A match below your minimum becomes a backup, never a headline.

03

Protects the customer relationship

Customers are skipped, with the rule and the date they're back, when their health is poor, a case is escalated, they've been used recently or just did a call, their approval expired, or their owner asked for a pause. An upcoming renewal is offered with a warning, and approvers can override with a recorded reason.

04

Ask the account owner, in one step

One ask for every pick, with an AI-drafted, editable message per owner, sent by Slack and/or email to the reference customer's account owner with the CSM copied. The contact's name and email appear only after a yes.

05

A yes in one tap

Owners answer Yes, Yes with an intro, Not now or No from Slack or a signed-in page, with a reason, an ask-again date, the contact to use, and a note for the rep. After a no, the next backup is one tap away.

06

Follow-through built in

Reminders and escalation for unanswered asks, the deal's result recorded on the request when it closes, call prep sheets, a "how did it go?" check, and a history for every reference: requests, deals helped, owner yes-rate, call feedback, approval and expiry.

07

A program you can run

Name a program manager and set routing, escalation times, skip rules, weights and ten optional automations (references ready before a rep asks, nominations, re-confirming approvals, a weekly digest, a CSM thank-you). Every save is audited.

08

Coverage grid

A stat band shows approved and pending references, competitors displaced, capped uses and approvals expiring in 30 days. The coverage grid lays competitors against industries and flags the uncovered cells, and a Nominate a customer dialog lets anyone suggest the next reference.

ai does the heavy lifting

How the AI carries the load

Finding the right reference is a retrieval problem — exactly what PrismCI's AI is built for.

step 1

Reads the deal

Drafts a deal profile from the opportunity, its notes and recent calls, with sources, for the rep to confirm.

step 2

Matches

Ranks references against the confirmed profile, with the reasons and evidence for each.

step 3

Drafts the ask

Writes an editable message to each account owner, then reminds, escalates and offers the next backup.

step 4

Learns the bench

Tracks yes-rates, feedback and deal results so the program improves.

step 5

Keeps it safe

Skips customers who shouldn't be asked, and shows the rule.

step 6

Reports coverage

Highlights gaps so you build the bench you need.

why it's different

Clean whitespace again. Reference matching turns competitive intelligence into competitive proof — inside the same platform.
