Add your first references

You do not need a perfect library to start. Ten well-consented references beat a hundred rows with no permission trail. Start with customers you would actually put in front of a prospect this month.

What to capture

• Company name, industry, and a short story of the outcome.
• The advocate: name, role, and how they prefer to be contacted.
• Consent status: who approved this reference, and until when.
• Deal context that helps matching later: segment, region, product, and the problem you solved.

Add them

1. Open the reference library and choose Add reference.
2. Fill in the company and story. Keep the write-up honest — ProvenTen is built for verified proof, not inflated claims.
3. Add the advocate and record consent. If consent is still outstanding, save as pending and come back.
4. Repeat for a handful of references, or import a larger set during an Enterprise rollout.
