A closer owns the bottom of your funnel. They take the qualified meeting your appointment setter or SDR booked, run the discovery or demo call, diagnose the prospect's problem, present the offer, handle price and timing objections, and ask for the decision on the call. Their scorecard is close rate, average deal size, sales cycle length and cash collected — not dials or meetings booked.
LatHire closers are remote sales professionals based in Latin America with 3–10 years of full-cycle or closing-only experience selling to US buyers. They are hired directly by you on a flat monthly rate from $9 per hour, work your CRM and your call recordings, and sit in your time zone. Most clients have a closer taking calls within seven days of the first consultation.
A closer sits at the bottom of your funnel. Everything above them — lists, dials, sequences, booked meetings — exists to put a qualified prospect in front of them. Their job is to turn that conversation into a signed agreement and collected cash.
The distinction that matters: a closer is not an appointment setter with a better title. They run structured discovery, control the frame on price, handle multi-stakeholder decisions and follow up until the deal is won or genuinely dead. Every LatHire closer is tested on a live objection-handling roleplay and a recorded mock discovery call before they reach your shortlist.
A structured discovery that surfaces the real problem, the cost of inaction, the budget reality and the decision process — rather than jumping to a pitch and hoping. Frameworks include MEDDIC, SPIN, BANT and Sandler, and your closer adapts to whichever you already run.
Tailored presentations and product demos that tie your solution back to what the prospect said in discovery. Screen-share fluent in Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, with recordings logged against the deal every time.
Price, timing, competitor, authority and "I need to think about it" — handled on the call, not deferred to an email. Tested in a live roleplay against your most common objections before you ever see the profile.
Asking for the decision, walking the prospect through the agreement, and taking payment or signature live where your sales motion allows it. Deals that end without a next step are treated as a loss, not a maybe.
Owning every open opportunity through to a decision. Structured follow-up by call, SMS and email until the deal closes or the prospect says no — because most revenue is lost to silence, not rejection.
Deals staged honestly, close dates that mean something, and a weekly forecast you can plan headcount and cash flow against. Sandbagging and happy ears are both coached out during onboarding.
Every call outcome, next step and stage change logged in HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Close or Zoho. You can audit the pipeline yourself instead of taking a number on trust.
Native Spanish plus phone-tested C1–C2 English with a neutral accent. One closer works your English-speaking and Hispanic-market pipeline without a second hire or a translation layer.
A dedicated closer fits a team where the bottleneck has moved past lead generation. If you have qualified conversations happening and revenue is still stuck, the constraint is almost always closing capacity — not more leads.
Every deal routes through the founder. Sales caps at whatever hours you have left after running the business, and the pipeline sits idle whenever you are heads-down on delivery or travelling.
Your appointment setters or SDRs are hitting their number and meetings are being pushed a week out, rescheduled or dropped. Booked meetings you cannot service are wasted lead spend.
Prospects turn up and leave without a decision. That is a discovery and objection-handling problem, and it is solved by a trained closer rather than by buying more leads.
A fully loaded US closer runs $90,000–$140,000 a year with commission and burden. At your current deal volume the ramp risk is too high, but you still need someone taking calls full-time.
Commission-only closers split your revenue, work several offers at once, and disappear the moment a better one appears. You never build a repeatable process, and you never own the recordings or the relationships.
If your bottleneck is calendar volume, hire an <a href="/hire-appointment-setters/">appointment setter</a>. If your deal needs qualification and multi-channel prospecting before anyone gets a demo, hire an <a href="/hire-sdr/">SDR</a>. If you already have qualified conversations happening and nobody senior enough to convert them, hire a closer. Most teams eventually run two of the three — a setter feeding a closer is the most common pairing we build.
Closers start at $9 per hour. You hire the closer directly on a flat monthly rate, so there is no agency markup, no commission split, no per-deal fee and no percentage of your revenue. Rates below are the starting point — the exact number depends on experience, deal complexity and whether you need bilingual coverage.

US figures are drawn from public salary data plus standard employer burden for a closing role carrying quota, and assume a mid-market OTE split. LatHire rates are the flat all-in monthly fee at 40 hours a week — there is no placement fee, no payroll tax, no benefits load and no revenue share. You can still run a commission or bonus structure on top; most clients do, and it comes out of the same margin a US hire would have consumed in burden alone.
We capture your offer, average deal size, sales motion, call volume, CRM stack, close-rate benchmarks and comp range.
3–5 hand-picked closer profiles with intro videos, full résumés and skill scorecards. Request more any time.
Assess each candidate in depth, then run your own discovery roleplay or mock close against your real objections. Interview the ones you like. Skip the ones you don't.
We handle contracts, international payroll and compliance. Your closer joins your CRM, calendar and call recording stack like any other team member.
Need a second closer, a switch to part-time, or a replacement? Your account manager handles it.
Every closer in our pool is screened on three axes — closing experience, English fluency under pressure, and cultural fit with US buyers. Because the role carries revenue rather than activity, the vetting is deliberately harder than for any other sales hire we place.
Typical output from a full-time LATAM closer after a four-week ramp. Numbers move with offer, price point, lead quality and how well your setter qualifies — treat these as a planning range, not a guarantee.
One-call and two-call closes on $5k–$50k programmes from webinar, VSL and paid-ad funnels. Comfortable with payment plans, financing and the "I need to speak to my spouse" objection.
Demo-to-close on considered purchases, multi-stakeholder deals, procurement and security review. Logged and forecast in HubSpot or Salesforce so your pipeline stays auditable.
Compliant presentations, needs analysis and application walkthroughs. Bilingual coverage for Spanish-speaking households, with licensed-agent handoff where the state requires it.
Virtual consultations, proposal walkthroughs, financing options and same-visit signature. Fluent in the objection set around roof condition, payback period and utility rates.
Listing presentations, buyer consultations, investor offers and loan qualification conversations. Comfortable in Follow Up Boss, kvCORE and GoHighLevel.
Consultation-to-treatment-plan conversion, package selling and financing conversations — handled with the tone the category requires.
Compare LATAM markets by time-zone overlap, closing experience, language and cost.
Eastern Time overlap with the largest bilingual sales pool in the region, and a mature BPO and sales-floor culture in Medellín and Bogotá. Best when you want high-ticket or bilingual closing and want a large shortlist to choose from.
Closest cultural proximity to US buyers and the deepest bench for Spanish-language closing into the US Hispanic market. Best for West Coast teams and for anyone selling insurance, solar or home services to bilingual households.
Highest average English proficiency in the region and strong written communication. Best where the sale is consultative, involves several stakeholders, and depends on well-written proposals and follow-up as much as the call itself.
Long history of servicing US accounts with near-neutral accents and strong professional norms. Costs more than the regional average but reduces the accent objection in enterprise and healthcare-adjacent sales.
Eastern Time alignment at the lowest cost band in the region. Best when you are building a multi-seat closing team and unit economics matter more than individual seniority.
For teams selling into Brazil alongside the US, or running LATAM-wide sales. Eastern-adjacent hours with trilingual closers available.
Closing only works if your closer is available when your prospect is. A booked call that gets pushed because of a nine-hour offset is a lost deal. All LatHire talent sits within two hours of US time, so your closer takes calls on your calendar, joins your morning pipeline review, and reschedules in real time rather than overnight.

The break-even against a commission-only closer arrives fast. At a $6,000 average deal and a 12% commission, six closed deals a month costs you $4,320 — roughly three times a dedicated LatHire closer, every month, forever, with none of the process, recordings or relationships staying with you.

No upfront fees — We source, vet and present candidates before you pay anything. Interview first — Meet, roleplay and approve every closer before they start. No revenue share — A flat monthly rate, never a cut of your deals. Rolling monthly contract — No annual lock-in and no deposit. Free replacement — At any point in the engagement, for any reason.
