Digital deal support for founders

You're the founder. You're also head of sales.

Customers, investors, your first sales hires: it all comes down to selling, and you're doing it on top of everything else. topclosers.club puts a top closer's digital twin on every deal, built from 13 years of closing, assessing companies for a VC and founding businesses of his own. It learns your business, remembers every deal and tells you what to say, what to ask and what to do next.

Who it's for

Founders

You sell full time now: to customers, to investors, to the people you want to hire. You've got no time, and nobody ever taught you how.

What it does for founders →

Also for salespeople

Junior or senior, remote or not: a top closer next to you on every deal, and in your corner for your career.

What it does for salespeople →

In short: topclosers.club is a digital twin of a top closer, built for founders who have to sell. It's built from the career of Fred Mitchell: a serial founder with 13 years in sales and over $40m in revenue personally produced, who has assessed companies for a VC. It knows who you are and what you sell, remembers your deals, and tells you what to say and what to do: with customers (prospect research, cold calls and emails, discovery, objections, negotiation, closing), with investors (your pitch, your deck, the hard questions) and with hiring (who to hire, how to test them, how to coach their calls). Salespeople use it too. Members also get 10% off 1-to-1 coaching with Fred.

See a real answer

This is what you get. In about a minute.

Two real answers from the tools, shortened. No editing, no cherry-picked script.

Discovery questions

You type: I'm the founder of a stablecoin payouts startup. First call on Thursday with the new CFO of a freelance marketplace that pays 30,000 people abroad by wire. He's said publicly he wants freelancers paid faster.

Top layer: open, and about him

"Before we get into payouts, how did you end up at Brightgig, and what's the job been like since you arrived?"

Mid layer: the crypto question, on his terms

"When someone says 'stablecoins' to you, what's your gut reaction, and what would your legal team's be?"

Bottom layer: the real reason he'll buy

"You've said publicly you want freelancers paid as fast as clients pay you. Why does that matter to you personally?"

"We're a small company next to your volume. What would you need to see to be comfortable putting us between Brightgig and your freelancers?"

Takes on the size worry before he hides behind it. His answer gives you the pilot design and the proof he needs.

Negotiation prep

You type: Term sheet for our seed round: they lead $2m at an $8m pre-money valuation, with a board seat and a 10% option pool topped up before the round. I want $10m.

What game you're playing

"This is win-win with a small zero-sum core. On the pool, check the maths: because it's topped up before the round, it comes out of your side, so $8m headline is nearer $6.95m effective."

If they insist on the pool before the round

"Say yes in principle, but the pool must be sized to a real 18-month hiring plan, not a round 10%. Either way you're negotiating the effective pre-money, not the headline."

Your walk-away

"I can't go below $8.5m once the pool is properly counted, and the board stays at one investor seat. That's a red line for us. If we can't get there, I'd rather say it now and stay friends."

For founders

Never sold before? Now you have to.

As a founder, you're in sales full time, whether you like it or not. You sell the product to customers. You sell the company to investors, in the deck and on the call. You sell the job to the people you want to hire, and you have to pick the right ones. And nobody taught you how. There's no sales team to hand it to, no sales manager to learn from, and no time to read ten books on it.

Most founders sell the way they'd explain the product to an investor: features, features, features. Then the prospect goes quiet. Selling is a different skill. Find the problem, find the deeper reason behind it, and make buying their idea.

Customers

Research the prospect before you reach out, write the first message, plan the call, know what to ask, handle the objections and close. B2B or B2C, a one-call close or a six-month deal.

Investors

Investors are buyers too. Build the pitch and the deck around what this investor needs to believe, get ready for the hard questions on traction and churn, and agree the next step before you leave the call.

Your sales team

Work out who you really need, test them properly and sell them the job honestly. Then run their calls through the call debrief to see what they missed and coach them on it.

Fred is a founder too. He's built several businesses that he still runs, and he sells for them himself. As a CCO he assessed companies for a VC and helped founders raise, and he's heard hundreds of pitches, so he knows what a customer, an investor and a great hire need to hear. Now that's on your side of the table, in the five minutes you've got between everything else.

  • Turned a technical product into a compelling sales pitch

    "I worked closely with Fred on First Matter, taking a premium Greek olive oil to the UK market. He turned a technically detailed product into a clear, compelling commercial proposition, always focused on what genuinely matters to the customer. He's commercially sharp, persuasive without being pushy and excellent at building trust. Strong sales instincts, with a practical, straightforward way of working."

What it's built from

Built from 13 years of closing.

This isn't a chatbot with a sales prompt. It's a digital twin of one closer's career: his method, his rules and his voice. He's been on every side of the founder's table: the investor's, the customer's and the founder's own. Nobody else could have built it, because nobody else has lived it.

  • Hundreds of founders' pitches heard, companies assessed for a VC and for investment, and founders helped to raise
  • A serial founder: several businesses built from scratch, which he still runs and sells for today
  • 13 years in sales, from cold calling to Chief Commercial Officer
  • Over $40m in revenue personally produced, and much more by the teams he's led
  • Thousands of sales calls made, and thousands more listened to
  • A trainer from day one: Regimental Training Officer in the British Army, then salespeople, then whole sales teams
  • Five years building, hiring and training fully remote sales teams
  • Sold across investments, venture capital, insurance, finance, crypto, marketing, international trade and commodities
  • Read everything on sales and psychology he could get his hands on

All of that, on every deal you work, for €29 a month.

Look inside

Every deal in one place. Every answer builds on the last.

A real deal, start to finish: open it, ask for a closing plan, then a deal review when he goes quiet. Every answer knows the whole deal.
A deal page in topclosers.club: the prospect, suggested next steps, and the latest answer, a closing plan
A deal: what it knows, what to do next, and every answer so far.
The objection handling tool on a saved deal: the deal and profile are filled in, so the only question is what the prospect said
Pick the deal and it already knows the prospect and your business. You just tell it what they said.

What it does

Your deal partner, from first message to signature.

It doesn't just answer questions. It knows you, remembers your deals and walks you through each one, from research to close.

  1. Tell it who you are, once

    What you sell, who you sell to, how long your sales take and any proof you can use. Or give it your website and it fills that in for you.

  2. Add your deal

    A name and a company is enough. It researches them on the web, and remembers everything about the deal from then on.

  3. Ask what to do next

    What to say, what to ask, what to send, how to handle the push-back and how to close. Every answer builds on the last, in plain English.

Every stage of the sale, and your career

Prospecting

  • Prospect research brief

    Give it a name and a company. It researches them on the web and tells you who they are, what they care about and your angle in.

  • Cold email

    A short cold email that sounds like a person, not a sequence.

  • LinkedIn message

    Connection notes and messages that start a conversation instead of getting ignored.

  • Cold call plan

    Your opener, your reason for calling, the right questions for their industry and what to do with the brush-offs. A plan, not a script.

Selling

  • Discovery questions

    The questions to ask, layer by layer, down to the real reason they'll buy.

  • Objection handling

    What's really behind the objection, and what to say back.

  • Follow-up email

    Paste in your call notes. Get the email that keeps the deal moving.

  • Pitch or proposal

    A pitch, proposal or deck built around what they care about: for a customer, an investor, a key hire or a partner.

Closing

  • Negotiation prep

    What each side wants and why, your levers and your walk-away.

  • Closing plan

    Where the deal really stands, what's in the way and how to close it.

  • Deal review

    Deal stalled? An honest read on what's going on and what to do this week.

  • Call debrief

    Paste in your notes or transcript. Get what you missed and the follow-up email.

Hiring

  • Hire the right person

    Your first salesperson, or anyone else: what to look for, how to test it, the red flags, and how to sell them the job honestly.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Because ChatGPT has read about selling. Fred has done it, for 13 years. A blank chat box gives you the average of the internet, and you have to know what to ask it. This gives you one top closer's method, in his voice: find the real problem and the deeper reason behind it, know who you're talking to, listen more than you talk, and make buying their idea.

It knows who you are, remembers your deals, shapes every answer to your sale, whether you close on one call or over six months, researches your prospect on the web, and won't invent results you don't have.

The method behind it

Don't take my word for it

topclosers.club is built on the method I've used to train salespeople and help businesses sell. Here's what people who've worked with me say.

  • Sales grew substantially while working with Fred

    "Fred brought a fresh approach to our sales process, introducing techniques our team hadn't used before. Our sales grew substantially while working with him. I'd recommend him to any business looking to grow."

    G JacksonDirector, NexusBond · UK
  • Founded Flash PR, a PR agency working with crypto, fintech and Web3 clients

    "Fred and I worked side by side in sales for a long time and closed a lot of deals together. He's one of the few people I've met who treats sales as a craft, not just a numbers game: sharp on process, direct with his feedback, and very good at closing without ever pushing. I still use habits I picked up working next to him when I structure conversations with clients."

    Tomas De Rosa Tomas De RosaFounder, Flash PR · Spain
  • Broke into crypto through Fred and became top earner

    "Fred is the reason I'm in crypto. At Cryptopolitan he taught me how to close media deals with Web3 projects: how to read a prospect, handle objections and get to yes without being pushy. He's a true leader who makes you better from day one. If you want to learn sales from someone who actually closes, learn from Fred."

Expenses

Put it on expenses

You can almost certainly expense this. Salespeople expense the tools they sell with all the time: LinkedIn Sales Navigator, email software, an FT subscription. This is no different. Run your own business? It's a business cost, so put it through the company. You get a receipt for every payment.

If in doubt, ask your line manager. Copy this, fill in the brackets and send it:

Hi [name], I've started using topclosers.club: an AI sales partner built on a top closer's method. It helps me research prospects, plan calls, handle objections and close. It's €29 a month, and it's already helping me [prepare for calls / research prospects / close deals]. Could I expense it as a work tool, like Sales Navigator? I get a receipt for every payment. Thanks, [your name]

Also for salespeople

No hiding in sales

If you're good, you make a lot of money. If you're shit, you often make nothing. It's brutal, and that's why we love it.

What separates the two is rarely talent. It's knowing what to do on the deal in front of you: what to ask, what to say when they push back, when to shut up and how to close. I learned it on a sales floor in the City of London, next to senior closers. Most salespeople never get that, especially remote ones. Now it's on your computer: before the call, during the deal and when it stalls, it tells you what I'd tell you if I were sitting next to you. Weighing up a job offer, an interview or a promotion? It'll give you a straight answer on that too.

I can train you to sell but I can't train you to be tough.

Fred Mitchell, founder of topclosers.club

Who's behind it

Meet Fred

I've held every job in sales, from cold calling to Chief Commercial Officer.

Before sales, I was a British Army officer: first a Troop Commander, then Regimental Training Officer.

I've sold in investments, venture capital, insurance, finance, crypto, marketing, international trade, commodities and more. I've personally produced over $40m in revenue and led teams that produced much more.

Today I'm a serial founder. I've built several businesses that I still run, and I sell for them myself. As a CCO I assessed companies for a VC and helped founders raise, so I've sat on both sides of the pitch.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is topclosers.club?

A top closer's digital twin, on every deal you work, built for founders who have to sell. Fred Mitchell, a serial founder with 13 years in sales who has assessed companies for a VC, has put everything into it: his method, his rules, his stories and his processes, in his voice. Tell it who you are once, add your deals, and it tells you what to say and what to do, from the first message to the signature: with customers, investors and the people you hire. Members also get 10% off 1-to-1 coaching with Fred.

Who is topclosers.club for?

Founders first: the ones selling to customers, raising from investors and hiring their first salespeople, usually all at once and with no time to spare. It works just as well for salespeople, junior or senior, and for new sales managers. Your career stage doesn't matter. Your will to succeed does.

I'm a founder and I've never sold. Is this for me?

Yes. As a founder you sell full time: to customers, to investors and to the people you want to hire. topclosers.club gives you a top closer's method for all of it: research the prospect, plan the call, ask the right questions, build the pitch or the investor deck, handle the objections, close, and hire the right people. You don't need to know any sales jargon. Describe your business and the person you're selling to in plain English.

I'm raising. Can it help with investors?

Yes. Investors are buyers too, and Fred has sat on their side of the table: he's assessed companies for a VC and for investment, helped founders raise, and heard hundreds of pitches. The pitch or proposal tool builds your deck or your investor call around what that investor needs to believe. Discovery questions help you find out what they're really looking for, objection handling gets you ready for the hard questions, and negotiation prep helps when it comes to terms. It only ever uses the real numbers you give it: it never invents traction.

Can it help me hire and manage salespeople?

Yes. Hire the right person tells you who you really need, what to look for, how to test it (have them sell to you), the red flags, and how to sell them the job honestly. Once they're on board, paste their call notes or transcripts into the call debrief to see what they missed and how to coach them, and run stalled deals through the deal review. It's how you build a sales team without being a sales manager yourself.

What can it help me with?

Every stage of the sale: prospect research (it searches the web for you), cold emails, LinkedIn messages, cold calls, discovery questions, objection handling, follow-ups, pitches, proposals and investor decks, negotiation, closing, deal reviews and call debriefs. Plus hiring, and career advice for salespeople: job offers, interviews, whether to stay or go, and promotions. Seventeen tools in all, with new ones added regularly.

Does it remember my deals?

Yes. You set up your profile once (what you sell, who you sell to, how long your sales take, your proof), or give it your website and it fills that in for you. Then add a deal, and it remembers it and walks you through it, from research to close. Every answer builds on what it already knows about the deal, and you can ask it follow-up questions.

How is it different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT has read about selling. Fred has done it, for 13 years. A blank chat box gives you the average of the internet, and you have to know what to ask it. topclosers.club gives you one top closer's method, in his voice: find the real problem and the deeper reason behind it, know who you're talking to, listen more than you talk, and make buying their idea. It knows who you are, remembers your deals, shapes every answer to your sale, from a one-call close to a six-month corporate deal, researches your prospect on the web, and won't invent results you don't have.

Will it work for what I sell?

Yes. Tell it what you sell, who you sell to and how long your sales take, and it shapes every answer to that. A one-call close to a homeowner needs a very different approach from a six-month corporate deal, and it knows it. It can also research your prospect or their industry on the web.

How much does topclosers.club cost?

Two plans, with everything included. Closer is €29 a month (up to 20 uses a day, 300 a month) and starts with a 7-day free trial. Top Closer is €49 a month (up to 50 uses a day, 600 a month) for heavy users, paid from day one with no free trial. Prices include VAT. Switch plans or cancel any time. Members also get 10% off 1-to-1 coaching with Fred.

Can I expense it?

Almost certainly. Founders put it through the business like any other software. Salespeople expense the tools they sell with all the time, like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, email software or an FT subscription. You get a receipt for every payment. If in doubt, ask your line manager: there's a ready-made note to send them on this page.

Do I need a card for the free trial?

Yes. The free trial is on the Closer plan. You add a card when you start, but you're not charged during the 7 days. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing. It's one free trial per person.

How do I cancel?

In the members' area, click Manage your subscription. On a paid plan, you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for. If you cancel during the free trial, your access ends straight away and you pay nothing.

How can I get sales training and experience while working fully remote?

Get on every deal the know-how a sales floor used to give you. topclosers.club is built on an experienced closer's method: research the prospect, plan the call, handle the objection and close. Use it before every call and you learn the method as you go. When you want to go further, members get 10% off 1-to-1 coaching with Fred. All online, wherever you live.

Who runs topclosers.club?

He has held every job in sales, from cold calling to Chief Commercial Officer, has assessed companies for a VC and for investment, has helped founders raise, has personally produced over $40m in revenue, has spent the last five years building and training fully remote sales teams, and still runs and sells for businesses he founded.
