Top Closer (Senior AE) on demand.
Commission-heavy.
Hand over demo calls and contract closing to professionals with experience in $100k+ deals. A Fractional Closer steps in part-time, takes over the pipeline from your calendar, and squeezes leads until payment. Low base + high commission on actual cash collected.
The Demo Bottleneck
Financial inefficiencies of hiring a classic full-time Enterprise AE.
Expensive Full-Time Base
Senior AEs demand a steady $4,000–$8,000 base salary before they even make their first sale. The startup bears massive cash flow risks during long sales cycles.
The "Demo-to-Close" Gap
Marketers and SDRs fill the calendar with meetings, but junior reps don't know how to handle Enterprise objections, security teams, and procurement. Leads burn up.
Founder as Eternal Salesman
The CEO personally conducts 4-5 demos a day. The business stops growing because the founder has no time for product, strategy, and fundraising.
How the Fractional Closer Loop Works
The operational pipeline of integrating a part-time closer from our platform.
Instant Onboarding
The Closer studies your Playbook, product, and Value Proposition in 3 days, followed by a live certification.
Calendar Management
Lead Routing setup: SDR books a meeting -> the slot automatically drops into the assigned Fractional AE's calendar.
Closing the Deal
The Closer runs Discovery/Demo, qualifies via BANT/MEDDIC, prepares custom proposals, negotiates with legal, and secures signatures.
Full Transparency (QA)
Every call is recorded in Gong / tl;dv. The founder can see negotiation logs and deal status in the CRM at any time.
Symbiosis of Motivation (Financial Model)
The base retainer is minimal (only covers hours spent on call availability and CRM management).
The Closer's primary income is a strict % of closed and paid contracts. They are directly motivated to squeeze the absolute maximum out of every demo.
