    About

    In practice. What you can do with Close.

    Close integrates calling, email, and SMS directly into the CRM, with a Power Dialer letting reps burn through calls 3-4x faster than manual dialing, and real-time coaching for managers (silent listening, joining a call).

    It's a purely sales-focused tool (few marketing features), with real hidden costs: once the dialer, premium phone lines, and call minutes are factored in, the real budget rises to $150-250/rep/month depending on volume.

    Practical uses

    • Manage a team of prospectors making inbound/outbound calls.
    • Centralize communications (calls, SMS, email)Prospects.
    • Set up automatic follow-up workflows after a proposal.
