Introduce Closer at your next weekly meeting

At your next weekly team meeting, add Closer as an agenda item.
Here are some ways how to frame the conversation.
"I'm really excited to try out Closer for our team to help us connect, bond, and get to know each other, especially since a bunch of us have never met in person."
"Closer is a video portal that makes us feel like we're working in the same room."
"It's not mandatory, and you can turn it off whenever. Only join the Closer if you're down to hang out!"
"Closer only works with iPhone or iPad. Ask your teammates if they all have an iPhone or iPad to give Closer a try."
"1-month free trial. 🎉
Up to us if we want to keep using it after!"

Jorge from Vivanta company
"When I needed feedback from my co-founder and didn't want to wait forever for him to check slack, I tapped him in Closer like, "Hey, what's up with this?" After that, I was like, okay, this is cool. With Closer, we can move as fast as we would be in the same room together."
