A sales term which refers to the process of making a sale
Examples of closing in the following topics:
-
The Post-Closing Trial Balance
- A post-closing trial balance is a trial balance taken after the closing entries have been posted.
- The post-closing trial balance is the last step in the accounting cycle.
- The post-closing trial balance can only be prepared after each closing entry has been posted to the General Ledger.
- That is why it is necessary to run a post-closing trial balance.
- The post-closing trial balance proves debits still equal credits after the closing entries have been made.
-
Closing the Cycle
- Transferring information from temporary accounts to permanent accounts is referred to as closing the books.
- The process of closing the temporary accounts is often referred to as closing the books.
- Accountants may perform the closing process monthly or annually.
- The Dividends account is also closed at the end of the accounting period.
- The dividends account is closed directly to the Retained Earnings account.
-
Open and Closed Circulatory Systems
- The circulatory system can either be open or closed, depending on whether the blood flows freely in a cavity or is contained in vessels.
- In all vertebrate organisms, as well as some invertebrates, this is a closed-loop system in which the blood is not moving freely in a cavity.
- In contrast to a closed system, arthropods (including insects, crustaceans, and most mollusks) have an open circulatory system.
- (a) In closed circulatory systems, the heart pumps blood through vessels that are separate from the interstitial fluid of the body.
- Most vertebrates and some invertebrates, such as this annelid earthworm, have a closed circulatory system.

Closing the Sale
- Closing is a sales term which refers to the process of making a sale.
- Such prospects only need to be "closed. "
- Nonetheless, closing is a key part of the sales process.
- In fact, sometimes opportunities to close may not present themselves at all and the salesperson must create an opportunity to close.
- Ben Franklin close - Similar to the Duke Of Wellington close, but the prospect lists feelings vs. thoughts.

Introduction to closeness centrality
- Closeness centrality approaches emphasize the distance of an actor to all others in the network by focusing on the distance from each actor to all others.
- Depending on how one wants to think of what it means to be "close" to others, a number of slightly different measures can be defined.
-
Does leasing always close the manufacturing loop?
- Both of these practices can break the closed-loop cycle needed for leasing to provide its benefits.
-
Path distances
- Network>Centrality>Closeness provides a number of alternative ways of calculating the "far-ness" of each actor from all others.
- Figure 10.9 shows a dialog for calculating closeness measures of centrality and graph centralization.
- Since the information network is directed, separate close-ness and far-ness can be computed for sending and receiving.
- We see that the distribution of out-closeness has less variability than in-closeness, for example.

Bacteroidetes and Chlorobi
- Bacteria categorized under the Phylum Bacteroidetes and Phlyum Chlorobi are closely related base on comparative genomic analysis.
- The green sulfur bacteria are closely related to Bacteroidetes and are non-motile and can be found as sphere, rod, or spiral shaped.
- The Phlyum Chlorobi is often grouped with the Phlyum Bacteroidetes because their branches are very close together in the phylogenetic tree.
- Further analysis has identified additional molecular signatures that support the close relationship between these two phyla as well indicating a common ancestor.
- An image of a green sulfur bacteria which is categorized under the Phlyum Chlorobi and shares a close relationship with bacteria in the Phlyum Bacteroidetes.

Related Keys
- The circle of fifths is a way to arrange keys to show how closely they are related to each other.
- Keys are not considered closely related to each other if they are near each other in the chromatic scale (or on a keyboard).
- What makes two keys "closely related" is having similar key signatures.
- The relative minors of all of these keys (B minor, E minor, and F sharp minor) are also closely related to D major.
- What are the keys most closely related to E flat major?
-
The Sales Process
- An effective sales process can be described through steps that walk a salesperson from prospecting through closing the sale.
- The salesperson can use several different sales closes to move the sale forward.
- They can use the "alternative close", the "assumptive close", the "summary close", or the "special-offer close"; among others.
- An effective sales process can be described through steps that walk a salesperson from meeting the prospect all the way through closing the sale.
