Who runs this site
Closers (closers.net) is a small, independent operation. It isn't a media company, a newsroom, or a company with a staff of writers — it's one person building a free sales-career resource, with AI-assisted drafting tools as part of the workflow. That's the whole operation, and we'd rather say so plainly than dress it up.
Closers is the publisher of record for every lesson, glossary term, template, calculator, and certification on this site. It is not a recruiting agency, an employer, or a job board, and it does not publish or sell job listings.
How the content is written
Lessons and glossary terms are drafted with AI assistance, then edited and published under our direction. A draft is a starting point, not a finished page: no page goes live straight from a model without being read and shaped by hand, and no page states a number that hasn't been checked against the source recorded in its Sources block.
We don't publish under invented author personas. The byline is organizational — "Published by Closers" — because that's who is actually responsible for the page.
Sourcing
Any page that carries a number also carries a sources block listing the figure, the source's name, its vintage or date, and a link. We prefer primary sources — government statistics such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, company filings, and published surveys — over second-hand summaries. We don't present a figure as a guarantee, and we don't publish a number we can't source and date.
How often pages are reviewed
Every lesson and glossary term shows a "Last reviewed" date — the date of its most recent review. We review the library at least twice a year, and any page that cites an external figure is re-checked when its source publishes a new vintage (a new Bureau of Labor Statistics release, for example). A page whose figures are out of date is corrected or updated, not left standing.
How the certification is scored
The certification is not a quiz, and its scoring isn't a black box. A learner holds one live call with an AI buyer, and it's graded on five named dimensions — opening, discovery, objection handling, composure, and the clear ask — scored 0–4 each. The pass mark is published too: an overall 3.0 or higher passes, with 3.9 or higher earning Distinction, and results are returned as a band rather than a hidden number. You can read the full breakdown on the SDR/BDR certification assessment.
Reporting an error
If you find an error — a wrong number, an out-of-date claim, a broken link, or anything that reads as misleading — tell us and we'll fix it. Email support@closers.net with the page URL and what you think is wrong. Corrections are made on the page, and the "Last reviewed" date is updated when the page is re-reviewed.
