A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SPORTS SALES MANAGER
As a Sports Sales Manager, you're on a mission to show organizations across the United States that Galveston is the ideal gathering place for competitions! With our gorgeous beaches, beautiful hotels, world-class attractions and excellent facilities, you find there are plenty of ways to entice planners to book their events in our coastal city. Of course, it takes some effort to generate leads, but as an experienced and self-motivated salesperson, you know how to connect with the right people. As a networking pro, you eagerly attend tradeshows and client events to solicit business. With sports and competition groups as your target, you prospect within these groups, make presentations, write proposals, and more to secure their bookings for local hotels, convention facilities, and sports assets. You love having the opportunity to travel and meet new people! When event planners seem undecided, you extend an invitation to visit Galveston and arrange for a tour of our excellent facilities and attractions. You proactively coordinate hotel and convention center bids and organize facilities packages, and your willingness to go the extra mile wins over potential clients. Committed to providing exceptional customer service, you stay in touch with clients before, during, and after their events to ensure total satisfaction. Organized and attentive to detail, you compile monthly activity reports to make sure you're on track to achieve your goals. Thanks to your dedication and drive, many sports and competition groups choose Galveston as their convention destination. You feel great that your efforts have a positive impact on our local economy, and you're pleased to be well compensated for your skills! QUALIFICATIONS FOR A SPORTS SALES MANAGER
