A CRM that actually helps you close deals not just log them.
Close is a sales CRM with built-in calling, SMS and email for high-velocity teams. Here's our honest take after running outbound on it.
Close is a sales CRM built for speed, with calling, SMS and email built in so reps work leads from one screen. Best for SMB and startup sales teams doing outbound and inside sales who want fewer tabs, automated follow-up, and reporting that shows what's actually driving revenue.
What Close actually does
Close is built around the rep, not the manager's dashboard. Calling, SMS, email sequences and pipeline all live in one place, so a salesperson can work a list without switching tools — and everything is logged automatically.
Built-in calling + SMS
Dial and text leads straight from the CRM; every touch is logged automatically.
Email sequences
Automated multi-step follow-up that keeps deals moving without manual chasing.
Smart pipeline
See exactly where every deal sits and what to do next.
Reporting that matters
Activity and revenue reporting that shows what's really working.
