Inside Sales Intern

 

You are all excited and dream of being the next young and very successful GM.  You are looking for your in, your break, because all you need is someone to believe in you and to give you a chance.

 

All of your professors and mentors are telling you that the open door into the sports industry is through sales.  Guess what?  They are right.  But here’s the thing.  Life is just like a ball game; sometimes you only get one shot, one shot to make a good impression, one shot to prove yourself and one shot to learn from the best in the business.  

 

 

Am I saying the Tacoma Rainiers are the best in the business?  Well, personal bias aside, I can honestly say that we have the best sales model in sports.  I can say this because it is used by some of the most successful teams in Minor League Baseball, Major League Baseball, NBA, NFL, MLS and NASCAR.

 

In fact, I have a hunch that you may have studied our model in your college Sport Management classes.  Many colleges do.

 

Bottom line, you are at a point in your career where the two most important things are (1) for you to build a solid foundation based on successful principles and practice, and (2) for you to learn from and get to know successful leaders in the industry.

 

 

Come learn from a team and ownership group that has significantly increased revenue and set new attendance records year after year.  Come learn how to sell not just how to answer a phone.  Come, learn the industry and become the best.
