Sponsors
One slot. Per cycle. By application.
The Closer Manifesto reaches founders, pipeline owners, sales leaders, and dealer principals who run real floors. The room is small on purpose; the attention inside it is unusually high. We carry one sponsor per cycle. No banners, no programmatic, no second slot for the runner-up.
Quarterly cycle · One sponsor · Application only
Who reads this
Founders. Sales Masters and Pipeline Owners on real floors. Dealer principals. RevOps and enablement leaders running mid-market and up. The audience is small in volume and very high in buying-decision authority.
Where it shows up
In the newsletter (Mission Control Weekly). At the foot of essays and playbooks. On the sponsor's own page in the library, written by us, not them. Once at every workshop and roundtable during the cycle.
Where it doesn't
Nowhere as a banner. Nowhere as a popup. Not in the book. Not in the manifesto. Not on the signatory wall. The doctrine and the book stay clean; the sponsorship sits beside the work, never on top of it.
The slot
Cycle Sponsor.
One company, one cycle, full pairing. We work with you on the story; we won't run copy we wouldn't be proud of next to the doctrine.
Newsletter
A short, written-by-us sponsor note at the foot of every Mission Control Weekly issue for the cycle. One link, no images, no tracking pixels.
Library
A single sponsor page in the library, written by us, reviewed by you, indexed in search, that explains the partnership and what the sponsor builds.
Events
A one-line acknowledgement at every workshop, roundtable, and talk during the cycle. No logos on slides, no sponsor table, no pitch.
Print run
A line of acknowledgement in the print materials produced during the cycle: playbook PDFs, conference handouts, workshop briefs. No marks on the book itself.
Pricing is quoted per cycle on a case-by-case basis. Fit and relevance matter more than the headline number. Floor sponsors typically commit in the high four- to low five-figure range per cycle.
Who fits
- Tooling, CRM, dialer, or revenue-platform companies whose product a Pipeline Owner would actually defend in a Daily Huddle.
- Recruiting firms, sales-leader search practices, or training companies that already operate at the practitioner tier.
- Capital partners and operating groups whose portfolio companies are the practitioners we write for.
- Single-vendor conferences, dealer-group associations, or operator communities who want to underwrite a cycle.
Who doesn't
- Anyone whose product depends on practitioners we wouldn't write for.
- AI-SDR companies whose model is to replace the practice the book teaches.
- Lead-gen vendors selling "intent" lists.
- Anyone who needs logo placement on the book, the manifesto, or the signatory wall as part of the deal.
- Anyone who would ask for editorial influence over the doctrine.
Apply
The slot for the next cycle is open.
Tell us about your company, who you sell to, and why the pairing would be honest. We confirm or pass within a week. If we pass and the fit is close, we'll say why.
We do not accept paid placements outside this program. There are no guest posts, no link buys, no affiliate slots.
