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.

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.
Pricing

Enrollment
How Enrollment Works
Take the Revenue Scorecard
Every entry into the Lab starts there, so we both can see how much of your revenue runs without you.
Apply
The application takes a few minutes. It asks who your premium customer is, what your premium offer is, and one insight from your Scorecard results.
Hold your spot
Accepted applicants hold a seat with a fully refundable $100 deposit, or pay in full. Either way, your bonus work opens right away while you wait: Human Speak Selling, the Mindset by Design work including the Five Hidden Money Patterns, and Nurture Conversation Circles.
