A UK-first alternative to Close.com for field sales.
Close.com is one of the cleanest inside-sales CRMs on the market — built around the call, the email and the SMS, with a workflow tuned for US-style sales development. For UK field sales teams in merchant services, energy, telecoms or door-to-door, none of that matches the actual day. Closerr is the UK-first alternative — built around the visit, the postcode and the live merchant, not the call queue.

Honest summary
Close.com and Closerr both call themselves CRMs and both serve sales teams — and that's where the similarity ends. Close is the right tool for a US-style inside-sales motion: a team of SDRs and AEs working a queue of inbound leads from the desk, with calling, SMS and email at the centre. Closerr is the right tool for a UK field-sales motion: a team of reps in cars or on high streets, working postcodes, capturing leads in the doorway, logging visits in the car park, and pushing deals through the merchant-services or field-sales lifecycle. Different shapes of work, different products. The deeper context for the field-first workflow lives on mobile CRM for field sales and the field sales operating system; the merchant-services angle lives on CRM for merchant services.
Frequently asked questions
Can Close.com work for UK field sales?
Close can be used by UK field teams, but the product is built and supported from the US with an inside-sales-first shape — calling, SMS and email at the centre, no postcode lead-gen, no mobile route planner, no merchant lifecycle. UK field teams typically find the fit forced.
Why would I pick Closerr over Close?
If the day is shaped around visits, postcodes, route planning and (for merchant services) statements and MIDs, Closerr is built for that shape. If the day is shaped around a call queue, an email sequence and an SMS follow-up, Close is built for that one.
Does Closerr have a power dialler like Close?
Closerr's calling (Closerr Voice, entitlement-gated) covers the in-app calling needs of a field team. It is not built to compete with Close's high-volume inside-sales power dialler, which is one of the strongest in the industry.
How do I migrate from Close.com to Closerr?
Export leads, contacts, opportunities and activity history as CSV from Close, then import into Closerr — the field mapping handles the basic CRM objects; merchant-services-specific fields (acquirer, MID, residual rate) are populated post-migration as deals progress through the lifecycle.
