Managed closers, built for your deal.

Pricing depends on your team and deal size. We'll walk through it on the free 15-minute intro call.

"A recruiter fills a seat. We build what the seat sells into, then fill it and manage it."

"My last sales hire didn't work out."

"Hiring an AE is a long, expensive bet."

→ Work with your closer before you commit to a permanent hire.

The process

  1. 1

    Scorecard for your deal

    ACV, cycle, buyer, motion.

  2. 2

    Recruit and vet

    Structured interviews, a role-play on your actual deal, reference checks; you meet a short slate and choose.

  3. 3

    Onboard on a playbook you keep

    Your closer starts on a written playbook, scripts and onboarding kit that stay with you.

  4. 4

    Manage weekly

    Pipeline review, call coaching, scorecard.

  5. 5

    Replace or hire

    Replacement per your agreement, with credits for empty seat days; or hire them for a one-time conversion fee.

Questions

How fast can a closer start?
It depends on the role and market; we agree a target on the intro call and run the search in parallel with the engine build.
What if the closer isn't a fit?
We replace them, per your agreement, and credit you for working days the seat is empty.
Do I choose the closer?
Yes. We present a short slate of vetted candidates and you pick.

Case study · A legal-tech company

What we built

ICP lanes · packaging · CRM · sales playbook · outbound sequences · AE onboarding on that playbook.

How we work

Mapped how deals closed → defined lanes → built CRM and playbook → launched outbound and onboarded the AE → weekly pipeline and call review.

Questions

What does it cost?
It depends on your team and deal size: a one-time engine build, then managed closer seats billed per 4-week cycle. We'll walk through the numbers on the free 15-minute intro call and set them in your Order Form. Book a free 15-minute intro call
What if it doesn't work?
You own everything we build once it's paid, so the engine stays either way. If a closer isn't the right fit, we replace them, per your agreement, and you're credited for working days the seat is empty. Book a free 15-minute intro call
Who employs the closer?
We do. Closers are full-time W-2 employees of GrowthGeek, employed through our PEO. We handle payroll, taxes, benefits administration and employment compliance; you direct the selling. Book a free 15-minute intro call
Can I hire them permanently?
Yes. If a closer works out, you can hire them directly for a one-time conversion fee set out in your agreement. Book a free 15-minute intro call
How long until it's running?
It's the 90-day build: build first, then the closer goes live on the playbook, then the team runs on the scorecard. The closer search runs in parallel with the build. Book a free 15-minute intro call
Is GrowthGeek an AI tool?
No. AI helps us build faster and review calls. You're buying revenue capacity: a system and the people to run it. Book a free 15-minute intro call
Who is this not for?
We build for seed to Series A B2B founders. It's probably not a fit if you are:
  • pre-product-market fit, without repeatable deals yet
  • a services business
  • not ready to budget for a closer seat
Teams that already have a sales org of six or more reps usually need a different kind of help, and we'll say so on the call. Book a free 15-minute intro call
