With references. So your prospective client can, with you very much not present or able to manage the meeting, ring up your old client and go "When CRC Corp delivered that thing, did it do $list_of_stuff_in_proposal? It didn't? Well, isn't that just fascinating? kthxbai!"

Or direct me to the part of my post where I wrote "...tries to sell devs as 'has X years practical experience in Y'..." OTOH, phuck knows, maybe they did try just what you're ~~suggesting~~ implying. -- Christian R.
