BETTER WITH COMPANY

The Signature Program

The CLOSE Lab: A Decision Leadership Lab for Founder-Led Companies

Lead with confidence. Build trust. Help buyers make clear decisions.

You have a great offer, strong relationships, and interested buyers, yet opportunities still stall. Buyers hesitate. Pricing conversations get uncomfortable. Follow-ups drag, and decisions take longer than they should. The CLOSE Lab is a three month online lab in Sales Decision Leadership built to close that gap: a structured practice, held with repetition, until leading the decision becomes the way you sell.

Cohort 1 · Winter 2027

Doors open December 8 to 22, 2026.

Orientation: Wednesday, January 6, 2027.

Live calls every other Wednesday at 12 PM CT, January 13 to March 24, 2027.

Then three months to revisit the full curriculum at your own pace.

What It Is

A Working Lab, Not a Course

This is a working lab, not a self study course: live practice on real deals, with the playbook and replays available online.

The Breathe Room: step into Mindset by Design inside The CLOSE Lab. Breath and body first, so you walk in steady.

The Conversation Room: bring your live deals and rehearse the conversation before it happens.

Between calls, your AI practice partner role plays your buyer, so the reps happen before the real conversation.


The Twelve Weeks

How The CLOSE Lab Works

Step 1

Learn

Study one essential conversation, and the standard behind it.

Step 2

Practice

Rehearse it live in The Decision Gym, before a buyer hears it.

Step 3

Apply

Use it with real buyers that week, in real conversations.

Step 4

Refine

Bring the result back for coaching, and sharpen the conversation.

What you will practice with repetition

  • Lead with confidence
  • Navigate buyer hesitation
  • Communicate value
  • Guide clear decisions
  • Build consistent follow-through

Fit

Who The CLOSE Lab Is For

Founders, owners, sales leaders, sales professionals, and client-facing teams who already have an established offer and active buyers, and who need the fundamentals to hold every week, not only on their best days.

You are ready for the Lab when

  • You know who your premium customer is.
  • You have a premium offer you are proud to sell.
  • You are in live sales conversations now, with real buyers to practice on.

If you are still building your first offer, start with the Revenue Scorecard and the Clinic. The Lab will be here when your conversations are live.

How Enrollment Works

01 Take the Revenue Scorecard

Every entry into the Lab starts there, so we both can see how much of your revenue runs without you.
