Close
Close is the easy-to-use CRM built for the way small businesses actually sell: fast, automated, and focused on customer relationships. We're profitable, bootstrapped, and 100 people working around the world.
Close profile
Working from 22+ countries, weâre a collection of talented humans rich in diverse backgrounds, lifestyles, and cultures. Close has been 100% remote since 2016, creating an intentional workplace around asynchronous communication and collaboration. Every year we meet up somewhere around the world to spend time with one another. These gatherings are an opportunity to strengthen the relationships within our global community.
How do you maintain flexibility & balance for your team?
How do you ensure autonomy and plan for the future?
We encourage deep work and turning off notifications.Â
Decisions are thoughtful, we ask that everyone has a voice and then trust team leaders will make the best decisions for their teams and that our C-Levels will make the best decisions for the company.
How does your company try to hire people from underrepresented groups and improve the diversity of your team?
