Closer - An experienced salesman who is brought in to "close" the customer by making them agree to a deal. "If I worked with a better closer I'd have more units on the board."

The Closer is an expert at making deals. He's the dollars and cents man. The shrewdest buyer is a rank amateur compared to an experienced Closer. He can skin the cat five different ways, juggling figures on trade-in, financing and insurance so skillfully that the average buyer doesn't realize how much he's actually paying for his car.
