What Close is
Close is a sales CRM for teams that sell. It brings calling, email, SMS, pipeline management, reporting and an AI sales agent into one platform.
Teams can call, email and text leads, automate sales actions, and manage their pipeline in Close. Its AI sales agent, Chloe, can call leads, qualify prospects and book meetings while updating CRM records. Close automatically records call transcripts, notes and next steps, then prepares follow-ups from those transcripts to send or queue for review.
