# Closing on closers.deals

URL: https://services.dev/docs/examples/sales/delivery-portal

> The closer's path through the sales brand, in your own session on closers.deals. Join with your payout account, read the feed, claim a gig and its brief, work the account in the seller's name, take a refused close, follow your 10% from won to held to Friday's payout, and see what protects it. Your own agent can do all of it but the close.

*sales's words: deal is a job, account is a subject, gig is a task, closer is a member, seller is a client, seller is a buyer (examples/sales/brand.ts).*

You close, and you keep every dollar of your 10%. The seller pays it beside api.forsale's 5%, your terms freeze when you claim, and a deal the seller ends never counts against you. Each screen is what closers.deals serves Dana Reyes, an enterprise closer. [The delivery portal](https://services.dev/docs/app/members.md) covers every Pool's.

## 1. Join

One group of fields a step, resumed by email, ending on the account you are paid into. Until Stripe clears it, your pay accrues and waits:

```txt
→ POST /closers/join {"email":"dana@example.com"}
```

```txt title="magic values: none"
← 200 mbr_7Hq4 · closers · dana@example.com · applying, step 1 of 3: segments, industries · on closers.deals
→ POST /closers/join {"email":"dana@example.com","answers":{"segments":["midmarket"],"industries":["logistics","manufacturing"]}}
← 200 mbr_7Hq4 · closers · dana@example.com · applying, step 2 of 3: acv, hours · on closers.deals
→ POST /closers/join {"email":"dana@example.com","answers":{"acv":75000,"hours":12}}
← 200 mbr_7Hq4 · closers · dana@example.com · applying, step 3 of 3: the account you are paid into, and your tax ID
→ POST /closers/join {"email":"dana@example.com","answers":{"payout":"connect"}}
← 200 mbr_7Hq4 · closers · dana@example.com · joined · tier SMB · offered setter, closer and nurturer gigs in SMB · midmarket after 10 gigs at 90% on time
  payout    acct_…7Hq4 · verifying with Stripe · until it clears, pay accrues and shows pay.waiting with the cure · nothing is lost
```

## 2. Read the feed

Each teaser shows the role, the industry, the value band, the stage and the pay. The account, the thread and the floor open at the claim. Passing is free and never scored:

*Screen: the delivery portal at `/closers`, tsk_7Hq5 · open (captured/screens/sales-delivery-feed.html).*

## 3. Claim, and read the brief

Your terms freeze at the claim. After 48 hours to a first touch, each touch keeps the gig yours:

```txt
→ POST /gigs/tsk_7Hq5/claim
```

```txt title="200 · tsk_7Hq5 · claimed · closer · meet, propose, negotiate, close · Northwind Freight · magic values: none"
  terms     frozen at this claim: 10% of closed_value at won, charged to the seller · floor $64,000 · nothing can lower your pay after it
  hold      48h to a first touch, until 11 Nov 09:12 · then each touch on the record renews it · released only by gone_dark, an end or giving it back
  brief     opens now: the account, the thread, the meeting the setter booked for 10 Nov 11:00, the offer and the floor
```

```txt
→ GET /gigs/tsk_7Hq5
```

```txt title="magic values: none"
← tsk_7Hq5 · claimed · closer · meet, propose, negotiate, close · 10% of closed_value at won
  account   Northwind Freight · logistics · 140 trucks · $80,000 list · floor $64,000 · not yet Harbor's customer
  meeting   booked 5 Nov by the setter, mbr_7Hs1, for 10 Nov 11:00 · ops@northwind.example · their notes: renewal in Q1, the CFO signs
  thread    touches 1 to 3 by AI, from harbor.example · a reply to touch 3
  you send  as Harbor Labs · mail from dana@harbor.example · calls bridged from Harbor's number · Northwind never sees closers.deals
  steps     meet → propose → negotiate → close · each commits at the gate · only the close ends the gig
```

## 4. Work the account

You hold the meeting the setter booked, then work the account as the seller. The gig stays yours to the close. Your touches are on [the deal's thread](https://services.dev/docs/examples/sales/deal.md#how-a-closer-reaches-the-account):

```txt
→ POST /gigs/tsk_7Hq5/meet {"held":"evt_…7Hs5","notes":"renewal in Q1; the CFO signs; three years worth pricing"}
```

```txt title="200 · tsk_7Hq5 · claimed · meet committed · held: ops@northwind.example stayed 34 minutes · the setter's $250 accrues · next propose · magic values: none"
→ POST /gigs/tsk_7Hq5/propose {"proposal":"proposal-northwind.pdf","notes":"three-year option priced at list less 7.5% for year one"}
```

## 5. Take a refused close

Your first close came in under the floor. The gate said by how much, and the gig stayed yours: propose again, ask the seller to move the floor, or give it back:

*Screen: the delivery portal at `POST /gigs/tsk_7Hq5/complete`, 422 · guard_refused (captured/screens/sales-delivery-refused.html).*

## 6. Won, held, final, paid

The close commits with the seller's own invoice. Your 10% is held from the day the seller's charge collects, final when the window closes, and paid that Friday:

```txt
→ POST /gigs/tsk_7Hq5/complete {"closed_value":74000,"term":36,"contract":"msa-northwind.pdf","pay_link":"https://invoice.stripe.com/i/acct_…H4rb/in_…8841","notes":"three years, the first at list less 7.5%"}
```

```txt title="200 · tsk_7Hq5 · committed · won · your 10% waits on Northwind's payment · nothing is held until it lands · magic values: none"
  pay link  in_…8841 on Harbor Labs' Stripe account · net 30 · metadata.deal job_7Hq5 · the account's customer, Northwind Freight
```

```txt
→ GET /closers/me/earnings/tsk_7Hq5   # 12 Mar 2027
```

```txt title="200 · tsk_7Hq5 · api.forsale · closer · Northwind Freight · $7,400.00 · paid · magic values: none"
  committed Fri 4 Dec 14:02     won · your 10% waits on Northwind's payment    deal.ended         $0.00
  held      Fri 8 Jan 09:00     Harbor's bank debit collected · ring-fenced    charge.collected   $7,400.00
  final     Tue 9 Mar 09:00     the 60-day window closed                       pay.accrued        $7,400.00

  charged   to the seller beside the 5% · never taken from your share · fees $0.00
  tax       on the 1099-NEC api.forsale files for 2027, with the rest of your pay from it
```

*Screen: the delivery portal at `/closers/earnings`, nothing waiting (captured/screens/sales-delivery-earnings.html).*

## 7. What protects your pay

| When | Your pay |
|---|---|
| The account is refunded inside the window | Your share reverses with that payment, and nothing else reverses it |
| The account is refunded in part | Your share moves by the same fraction |
| The seller never pays api.forsale | api.forsale carries the loss, and your share is paid at the window |
| The seller marks it lost, and the account pays within 90 days | The tail credits the deal to you, won |
| The account pays monthly | Each invoice holds its own 10% for 60 days |
| A chargeback after the window | The seller's, and your pay is final |
| Flat pay for a held meeting or a revival | Never clawed back |
| The seller ends the deal, or it goes dark | Never counted against your record |
| The account pays from another entity | You contest it, and staff rule within 14 days |

## From your own agent

Your agent holds your member key. It finds, claims, drafts and reads. The close is your act, so it hands you the draft:

```txt
→ tools/call claim_gig {"id":"tsk_7Hq5"}
```

```txt title="magic values: none"
← tsk_7Hq5 · claimed · terms frozen at this claim · 48h to a first touch, until 11 Nov 09:12
```

```txt
→ tools/call propose_close {"id":"tsk_7Hq5","closed_value":74000,"term":36,"contract":"msa-northwind.pdf","pay_link":"https://invoice.stripe.com/i/acct_…H4rb/in_…8841"}
```

```txt title="magic values: none"
← tsk_7Hq5 · drafted · the close is your act
  next  hand https://closers.deals/closers/gigs/tsk_7Hq5/close?draft=drf_7Hq5 to Dana, to confirm in her session
```

```txt
→ tools/call get_earnings {"held":true}
```

```txt title="magic values: none"
← mbr_7Hq4 · 4 shares held · $20,633.34 · next payout Fri 15 Jan · $400.00 of flat pay on it
```
