Pedro Ponciano

Expert consultancy agency owned by former Close employees helping businesses design, automate, and optimize Close for scalable revenue growth.

Close Accelerate helps growing businesses get more out of Close through CRM implementation, system architecture, sales automation, integrations, data migration, reporting, and ongoing Sales Operations support. We work as a hands-on partner to design pipelines, streamline workflows, connect the rest of the tech stack, improve visibility for leadership, and make the CRM easier for reps to actually use. Led by Pedro Ponciano, a former Close team member, Close Accelerate brings deep product knowledge and real-world revenue operations experience to every project. From initial setup and cleanup to advanced automation, process optimization, and long-term enablement.

"Pedro helped us tackle the monster task of migrating from Pipedrive to Close. What felt overwhelming became almost hands-off for our team. He took the reins, got the setup done, and also advised us on how to improve our CRM operations beyond the initial migration. 10/10 recommend."

Close and Close Accelerate

Close provides the sales CRM foundation, and Close Accelerate helps customers implement it the right way for their business. As a Tier 3 Close Partner led by a former Close employee, we bridge product expertise with hands-on execution: configuring Close around the client’s sales process, integrating key tools, automating repetitive work, improving reporting, and supporting adoption across the team. The result is a faster rollout, a cleaner system, and a CRM setup built to support real sales execution instead of just looking good on paper.

Use Cases

Financial Services CRM Setup for High-Speed Lead Management and Sales Execution

We help financial services teams, including business lending and MCA organizations, build Close around speed, accountability, and clean execution. Our work has included lead routing and ownership logic, form-to-CRM automation, open-floor workflows, SMS and calling compliance considerations, pipeline design, follow-up automation, opportunity management, reporting, and daily rep workflow optimization. The result is a system that helps teams respond faster, reduce lead leakage, manage large inbound and outbound volumes, and give leadership better visibility into pipeline performance and rep activity.

CRM and Sales Process Optimization for Marketing and Creative Agencies

We work with marketing, branding, and web design agencies that need a CRM built around a consultative sales process rather than a generic pipeline. For businesses like Design In DC, we have helped automate internal workflows, improve process visibility for leadership, structure pipeline stages more clearly, and reduce manual work across the sales cycle. This includes CRM setup, workflow automation, reporting structure, lead management, and operational cleanup. The goal is to make the CRM easier for the team to use while giving leadership a clearer view of performance and bottlenecks.

Lead Follow-Up and Re-Engagement Systems for Real Estate-Focused Businesses

We help real estate and property-management-focused companies use Close to handle lead intake, nurture, and reactivation more effectively. Our work has included inbound lead workflows, abandoned-form follow-up, proposal follow-up campaigns, no-show and canceled-call recovery campaigns, cold lead rewarm sequences, SMS compliance-conscious outreach, and better segmentation for different lead sources and buyer intent. This allows teams to respond faster, stay consistent in follow-up, and create more opportunities from leads that would otherwise go cold.

Sales Operations Infrastructure for SaaS Teams That Need Better Process and Reporting

We support SaaS companies that need more than just a CRM setup. They need a system that supports sales execution, cleaner handoffs, stronger reporting, and scalable operations. Our work in this type of environment has included pipeline architecture, automation design, Slack notifications, meeting and deal workflows, duplicate prevention logic, revenue reporting support, stuck-deal visibility, and process design for growing teams. We help turn Close into an operational system that supports leadership visibility, rep productivity, and more predictable execution.

Close Setup for AI Companies with Technical Discovery and Complex Sales Cycles

AI and technical products often require a deeper sales process than a standard CRM template can handle. We help teams structure Close around consultative and technical selling by building custom activities, discovery frameworks, demo workflows, qualification logic, note structures, task automation, and integrations that support more complex buyer conversations. This kind of work helps sales teams capture better information, stay organized through longer sales cycles, and build a CRM that reflects the real decision-making process instead of forcing everything into generic stages.

Custom Close Implementations for Businesses Migrating from Other CRMs

We help growing businesses move into Close and get it configured the right way from the start. This includes CRM migrations, data cleanup, field mapping, workflow setup, pipeline design, email and phone configuration, integrations with forms and other tools, automation buildout, user training, and post-launch support. We also help clients rethink how their process should work inside Close so the system is not just migrated, but improved. This is especially valuable for teams that have outgrown a simpler setup or are moving away from a CRM that no longer fits how they sell.
