Features
Calling, email and SMS built in
Close keeps calling, email and SMS inside the CRM, so every call, text and email is already part of the contact record.
Chloe AI sales agent
Chloe is an AI sales agent built into Close that calls leads, qualifies prospects in conversation and can book meetings while updating the CRM automatically.
Prioritized pipeline view
Deals appear by stage and value in a pipeline view, with a suggested next step on each one to show which deal to move.
AI Notes on calls
Close captures what is said on every call and meeting, so details such as a budget freeze land on the record without manual typing.
Agents and workflows
Agents can draft follow-ups, review lost-deal reasons or update lead fields, and workflows can send the first email or text to a new lead.
What users say
Pros
- Calling, email and SMS sit together in one CRM, removing the need to switch between separate tools.
- Moving an existing contact database and workflow onto Close went live in days rather than months.
- Contact management is well built, and email and event tracking run efficiently.
Cons
- The interface is overloaded, and there is no simple CRM table for clicking through and calling.
- The final bill can land far above the plan price once add-on charges are added.
- An account can be locked without warning, cutting off the entire lead database.
