About this role

Key Responsibilities • Run Program Planning Calls with parents and athletes, from SDR-booked consultations to inbound leads you work and close yourself.

• Uncover the athlete's profile, goals, timeline, and budget, and recommend the program that fits.

• Close new families on the call. Handle objections with empathy and clarity, and secure payment to enroll the athlete.

• Work your own pipeline of high-priority inbound leads via calls, texts, and email with fast, consistent follow-up.

• Hand off every new family to an Athlete Success Manager with complete notes, so the athlete's Kick Off Call starts with full context.

• Keep the CRM accurate: every lead has a disposition, every deal has a next step, every note is one your teammates could act on.

• Partner with SDRs on lead quality and feedback loops. When they book you a great call, tell them. When something's off, help them fix it.

• Hit your monthly sales targets and own your numbers — pipeline, conversion, and revenue.

Qualifications We care far more about attitude, work ethic, and coachability than years of experience. The ideal candidate wants to build a long-term career in sales and is ready to be the one who closes.

Required

• 2+ years in a quota-carrying sales role (SDR, BDR, inside sales, or closing role), or a demonstrated track record of competing and winning.

• Excellent written and verbal communication — you can explain something complex to a busy parent in two minutes.

• Comfortable running a high volume of consultative phone conversations every day and asking for the sale.

• Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through.

• Comfortable with CRM systems and sales technology.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

What Will Make You Successful • You guide, you don't push. You ask great questions, listen for the real goal, and help families make a decision they feel good about a month later.

• You close. You're comfortable asking for the commitment and confident handling "let me think about it."

• You're coachable. You want your calls reviewed, you seek feedback, and you get better every week.

• You're competitive. Through sports, academics, or work, you're driven by measurable results and you keep score.

• You're resilient. A "no" is information, not a verdict. You reset and take the next call.

• You're a teammate. You make the SDRs and Athlete Success Managers around you better, and you celebrate their wins like your own.

• You take ownership. You treat your pipeline like your own business and every family like it's the only one.

Nice to Have • Competitive athletic background — you've been the athlete, or coached one.

• Experience selling to consumers or families (education, youth programs, fitness, coaching, or similar).

• Experience with HubSpot, Salesforce, or another CRM.

• Passion for youth and college sports.

About this listing

Published on Lever under the board identifier Athletetoathlete, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.

RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
