b10 is a Close CRM partner
What does a Close CRM partner actually change?
A Close CRM consultant should therefore cover pipeline design, qualification, lead ownership, email, calling, SMS, sequences, workflow automation, reporting, integrations, data migration, onboarding, training and governance.
b10 combines Close CRM implementation with wider sales consultancy. We do not begin by copying an existing spreadsheet into Close. We establish how leads enter, how they qualify, how opportunities progress, when a human takes control and which evidence leadership can trust.
Five starting points
The right first move depends on what is already broken or missing.
Build Close CRM properly.
Migrate to Close CRM.
Fix an existing account.
Close CRM automation.
Operate beyond go-live.
The Close sales system
A CRM built for action still needs rules for action.
The five layers work as one system. Removing one creates activity without control or control without execution.
Sales-process design.
Native sales execution.
Workflow automation.
AI-led engagement.
Governance & performance.
Sales execution architecture
Every lead needs an owner, a state and a next move.
That does not mean forcing every buyer through the same rigid sequence. It means defining the evidence and responsibility required to move or stop an opportunity.

Close CRM comparison
Close, Pipedrive, HubSpot and monday CRM solve different versions of the CRM problem.
This is an orientation, not a substitute for structured CRM selection.
| Decision | Close CRM | Pipedrive | HubSpot | monday CRM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Natural centre | Communication-led sales execution | Pipeline and activities | Marketing, sales and service | Flexible revenue workflows |
| Strong fit | Outbound, inside sales and calling | SMB deal progression | Inbound and multi-hub lifecycle | Sales connected to monday work |
| AI emphasis | Embedded sales action through Chloe | Sales assistance | AI across its customer platform | AI in configurable workflows |
| Key decision | Does the team sell through active communication? | Is pipeline simplicity central? | Is ecosystem breadth required? | Is workflow flexibility essential? |

Close CRM FAQs
Close CRM is best suited for outbound and inside sales teams that rely heavily on calling, email, SMS, and consistent follow-up. It is designed for teams where speed, activity volume, and deal momentum directly impact revenue.
Yes. b10 works with Close through its partner route and provides sales-process design, implementation, migration, automation, integration, onboarding, training, optimisation and managed support. The Close trial link is tracked.

Yes. A Close CRM audit can assess process, pipeline, qualification, ownership, data, communication, sequences, workflows, integrations, reporting, adoption and governance before repair priorities are agreed.

Close includes calling tools designed for sales execution, including power-dialling capability. Its value depends on list quality, routing, scripts, consent, outcomes and follow-up—not dial volume alone.
Chloe is Close’s embedded AI sales agent. Close states that Chloe can call leads, qualify, book meetings, enrich data, take notes, support follow-up and update CRM records.
Yes. b10 can design the use case, qualification, scripts, data prerequisites, permissions, human handoff, CRM updates, quality review and performance measurement required for responsible implementation.
Chloe can take on defined calling, qualification, enrichment, follow-up and administration. It should not be treated as a substitute for strategy, complex discovery, judgement, relationships or human escalation.
Yes. Close lists Make in its integration ecosystem. b10 can use Make to connect Close with forms, marketing, documents, delivery, finance and reporting using controlled data mapping and monitoring.
Yes. Close provides a developer platform with a REST API, webhooks and an MCP server for bespoke integrations and approved AI interactions.
Cost depends on teams, users, sales motions, pipelines, data, integrations, automation, reports, AI use cases, migration, training and support. b10 confirms scope after discovery.
A focused build can be relatively short; a migration or connected multi-team implementation takes longer. Timing depends on data, integrations, testing, user availability and process readiness.

Yes. Managed support can cover administration, users, data quality, workflows, reporting, integrations, automation, Chloe controls, adoption and continuous optimisation.

Yes. You can start a Close trial here. Confirm fit before a trial account becomes the unplanned production system.
Yes. Close CRM uses sales sequences to automate structured follow-ups across calls, emails, and tasks. b10 designs sequences that reflect real buyer behaviour, ensuring leads are worked consistently without manual tracking.
Close CRM can support inbound sales, but it delivers the most value for outbound and high-activity sales teams. For inbound-heavy or marketing-led organisations, a different CRM may be more appropriate.
Yes — when implemented correctly. Pipeline structure, sequences, reporting, and activity expectations must evolve as team size and deal volume increase. Ongoing optimisation is critical to avoid performance drop-off.
Most failures happen when Close CRM is treated as a tool rather than a system. Poor pipeline logic, weak sequences, and lack of activity discipline result in inconsistent follow-up and stalled deals.
b10 designs Close CRM around how sales teams actually sell, ensuring the system reinforces execution rather than relying on rep discipline alone.
Scope can include readiness, sales-process mapping, pipelines, qualification, records, fields, custom activities, Smart Views, permissions, email, calling, SMS, power dialling, sequences, workflows, Chloe, migration, integrations, reporting, testing, training and governance.
b10 implements Close CRM as part of a commercial transformation, not a standalone CRM setup. We design pipelines, calling workflows, sequences, automation, and reporting to increase activity volume, shorten sales cycles, and improve close rates.
We begin with a sales motion and outbound execution review to identify where deals stall, follow-ups break down, and activity volume drops — then implement Close CRM to remove those constraints.
