The Role We're looking for a dynamic, self-driven event sales professional to take our event and party business to the next level.

Your mission:

increase annual sales by owning the full sales funnel — from cold outreach to closing. You'll be the face of our event sales operation, hitting the ground running with networking, pitching, and converting leads into happy guests.

What You'll Do:

Identify and generate new business through cold calls, emails, and networking. Own all local business outreach- building relationships with companies, organizations, and community groups. Develop and expand a portfolio of high-value accounts through consistent prospecting and relationship management. Manage the full sales cycle from initial contact to closing. Collaborate with our marketing team to optimize outreach campaigns. Consistently track leads and pipeline activity in CRM. Meet or exceed monthly and annual sales goals. There is no cap on commission. Lead BEO meetings for your events and show up prepared - every time. Partner with venue ops teams to ensure flawless execution from contract through celebration. Deliver exceptional service and follow-up to ensure repeat business.

What We're Looking For:

Experience in group or event sales in hospitality or entertainment. Exceptional communicator who is confident with both cold outreach and in-person interactions. You can tailor your pitch to a small business owner or a committee of ten. Detail-oriented and organized - because large events have a lot of moving parts. Highly self-motivated and goal-oriented. Comfortable working independently and being held accountable for results. Willingness to hustle — cold calls, weekend follow-ups, and weekend and late night event attendance are all part of the job. Proven track record of meeting/exceeding sales targets.
