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.

Thanks to all. Unfortunately it is really hard to translate "abschlusssicher" into a corresponding English adjective. So I have changed the target setence around.
