Nicole Cherie Hesse’s journey from bartender to seven-figure CEO is nothing short of extraordinary, but it’s the evolution of her sales methodology through Wonder Closer that is capturing attention today. With a strong background in hospitality and years of bartending experience, Hesse understands firsthand the power of building relationships, reading people, and closing sales. Through Wonder Closer, she is not just helping others learn to sell; she is helping them redefine what it means to be a closer in today’s business landscape.
Hesse recently celebrated a milestone—four years in business, 4,000 clients served, and $4 million in revenue. Reflecting on this success, she shares that her focus is now on systemization. “At this point, it’s not the high-velocity scaling we saw in the beginning,” she explains. “We’re in orbit, building the infrastructure so that we can 10X sustainably. It’s about having that long-term plan and sticking to it.” For Hesse, that plan isn’t just about scaling her business but about creating systems that allow others to thrive.

The Wonder Closer program is a reflection of this strategy. Rather than focusing on short-term wins, Hesse emphasizes sustainability for her clients. “There’s so much more stability in my business now, and that translates to my clients. When they come in, they’re not walking into chaos. Everything is streamlined—tried, tested, and true. We’ve made the mistakes, so they don’t have to,” she explains. This isn’t just about learning how to sell; it’s about creating a sustainable path to success with a clear system.
Wonder Closer offers an experience that’s unlike any other. With self-paced modules, clients learn the art of closing in a way that is easy to digest and apply immediately. The program is designed for those who may be new to the world of sales but possess untapped potential—especially those in the service industry. “Bartenders, servers, anyone in hospitality—they make incredible closers,” Hesse shares. “They’re already doing it every day—reading people, anticipating needs, and closing sales. The only difference is, with Wonder Closer, they can earn a $500 or $1,000 commission instead of a $5 tip.”
Hesse understands the service industry well, having worked as a bar consultant for 15 years before transitioning to entrepreneurship. She sees Wonder Closer as an opportunity for those who might feel stuck in service roles to build a secondary revenue stream, or even replace their primary income. “The truth is, bartending isn’t forever. It’s physically demanding, and there’s no real exit plan. Wonder Closer gives you the chance to build something that can sustain you long after you’ve left the bar.”

What makes Wonder Closer unique is its focus on aligning with each participant’s strengths. Hesse herself has had to navigate her own learning curve in sales. “I’m a killer on a live pitch, but sales calls weren’t my thing at first,” she admits. “When I started doing pitches, closing $50,000 on a Facebook Live, I realized it wasn’t that I was bad at sales—I just needed the right environment to thrive.” This is the foundation of Wonder Closer: discovering what type of sales environment best fits your natural strengths and honing that to perfection.
Hesse is quick to highlight that sales isn’t just about following a script or learning a technique. It’s about embodying the identity of a closer. “When you come to Wonder Closer, you’re not just learning sales—you’re becoming a closer. You’re integrating that identity into who you are. And that’s the difference.” This shift in mindset is what drives participants to succeed, as they aren’t merely learning to sell—they’re transforming how they see themselves and their potential.
One of the key features of Wonder Closer is the opportunity to start closing for Hesse’s own programs. “We have too many viable leads and not enough people to close them,” she shares. With her business experiencing rapid growth, Hesse saw an opportunity to create a brand ambassador-like program for her sales team. “As a Wonder Closer, you can sell my programs, which are tried and true. We have thousands of testimonials and a Facebook group with 30,000 people who want what we’re offering. It’s a huge opportunity.”
This program allows participants to earn generous commissions while honing their skills. “I want to pay out $100,000 in commissions every month,” Hesse states. “We have closers who are already making more than $5,000 a month, and we’re just getting started.” What sets Wonder Closer apart from other sales programs is its capless structure. “There’s no limit on how much money you can make. You’re not boxed in by quotas or limitations—you make a percentage of everything you close, and the sky’s the limit.”
Hesse’s goal for Wonder Closer is to not only provide an additional revenue stream but to create a sustainable path for long-term financial success. “We want a thousand Wonder Closers, and we’re building this program to last. This is about creating leaders, not just salespeople.” For Hesse, this program is about more than just business—it’s about helping others find their path to freedom and financial independence.

As Nicole Cherie Hesse continues to refine and expand the program, her vision for Wonder Closer is clear: it’s about more than learning how to sell; it’s about transformation. “You’re not just here to take notes and learn a skill. You’re here to leave behind the version of yourself that isn’t thriving and step into the role of a closer. You’re becoming someone who closes deals with confidence and ease.”
Wonder Closer is not just another sales training—it’s a movement that is redefining what it means to be successful in the entrepreneurial world. For those ready to leap, Hesse’s Wonder Closer offers the tools, the mindset, and the community to help them thrive. With Hesse’s guidance, participants can rest assured that they are in the hands of a leader who has already made all the mistakes and found the solutions—so they don’t have to.
