A Program for Closers Who Want More

Stop closing deals for someone else's dream.

Next Level Closers is where top performers turn hustle into equity, skill into leadership, and commission into a career that compounds.

02 · The Problem

The ceiling closers never talk about.

You can be the best-performing rep on the team and still have no equity, no promotion path, and no translation story for the next role.

High-ticket closers stay stuck in commission-only contracts. SDRs watch AEs get promoted past them. Top reps lose leadership seats to people with less talent but better networks. And nobody teaches you how to cross over.

72%

of sales reps miss quota at some point in their career, and most have no defensive playbook when it happens.

Industry Research · 2024

Formal programs that bridge high-ticket closing into salaried SaaS roles with base plus equity.

05 · Who It's For

Three closers. One program.

Track One

The High-Ticket Closer

You are crushing commission-only and ready for a base, equity, and a real career ladder. But SaaS hiring managers cannot read your resume.

Bridge into SaaS selling with real deal methodology, ICP translation, and a community of reps who made the exact same move.

Track Two

The Rising IC

You are a top SaaS rep ready to lead. But there is no clear path to promotion, and you are invisible to the hiring managers who matter.

Get promoted or placed into leadership with a proven playbook and performance data that speaks for itself.

Track Three

The IC on PIP

Solid rep, under pressure. Fear mode, reactive mindset, no offensive strategy. A family at home counting on the paycheck.

Flip the script. Save your job while activating a smart exit. Deal reviews, skill leveling, and a backup plan running in parallel.

06 · The Transformation

Where you are. Where you will be.

Before NLC

Hustling without leverage.

Closing deals for someone else's equity
No structured playbook to level up

No portfolio of provable results
Stuck waiting for a promotion that never comes
Scrolling job boards with no strategy

After NLC

Career that compounds.

Commission plus base plus equity on the table
MEDDIC, JOLT, and modern frameworks in muscle memory
A coach who placed reps into high-base roles
A public scoreboard of closed deals and rankings
Leadership track mapped with milestone checkpoints
A network that hands you the interview, not the cold app

Served? Funding Pathways

Your service may fund your next career.

Three ways veterans and employed reps offset the investment. We supply the documentation; you bring it to the decision-maker.

VR&E · Chapter 31

Veteran Readiness & Employment

Veterans with a service-connected disability rating may have career training covered under an approved employment plan. Your Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor decides what the plan includes, so bring NLC to that conversation. Up to 48 months of benefits plus a monthly subsistence allowance while you train.

Employer Benefits

Education Reimbursement

Many employers reimburse job-relevant training and professional development. We provide itemized invoices, a curriculum outline, and completion documentation formatted for HR and L&D approval, so your request is easy to say yes to.

Side Quest Offset

The Program Pays for Itself

Not eligible for either? Side Quest commissions range from $500 to $25K+ per deal. Members regularly cover their full tuition with commissions earned on real deals closed inside the program.

Approval decisions rest solely with the VA and your counselor. We supply the documentation; they make the call.

09 · The Why

I built this because no one built it for me.

"I have spent two decades in enterprise sales watching brilliant closers get stuck. That is not a skill problem. That is a system problem."

My career started on the track team at Indiana University and ended up with three SaaS exits, a ranking of #1 of 3,852 reps at LinkedIn, and over $100M in closed revenue across Gartner, UserTesting, Cutover, Elevate Security, and SalesAi.

Along the way I watched the best closers I knew stay trapped in commission-only roles, watched great SDRs get passed over for promotion, and watched reps on PIP spiral because nobody taught them to play offense and defense at the same time.

Next Level Closers is the program I wish existed when I was climbing. Live coaching, real deals, a public scoreboard, and a path that actually leads somewhere.

Before You Decide

Straight answers to the three questions every closer asks us.

Am I too early in my career for this?

No. NLC is built for closers in transition at every level. If you have never sold SaaS but you can close, we bridge you. If you have been selling SaaS for years, we level you up or into leadership. If you are on a PIP, we activate offense and defense at the same time.

Is this another course I will not finish?

No. This is not a 40-hour video library that sits in a browser tab. It is live coaching, real side quests with real commission, and a ranked scoreboard that holds you accountable. If you stop showing up, your rank drops and your coach asks why. That is the point.

What happens after I land the role?

You stay in. The community, coaching, and leadership track are designed for the next step, not just the first one. Closers who enter as reps often stay through their promotion into team lead, manager, or rev ops. NLC is a career home, not a transaction.
