Job Description
Love Sports? Love Sales? Love Building Winning Teams?
$50,000 Base Salary + Personal Sales Commissions + Team Overrides
You've proven you can sell. You know how to motivate people, develop talent, and build teams that produce results.
But here's a question: Are you building something that gives you more freedom as it grows, or does your success just mean working more hours?
At Vacation & Travel Group (VTG), we're expanding our national sports sales division, partnering with professional and collegiate sports organizations to bring exciting vacation opportunities directly to fans.
We're building sales teams at hockey arenas, baseball stadiums, college sporting events, and major minor-league sports venues across the country.
And we're looking for proven leaders who want to help build something bigger.
We're not looking for someone who wants to work seven days a week. We're looking for someone who wants to build something that works for them seven days a week.
WHY VTG?
- $150,000+ Projected Annual Earnings: Receive a $50,000 annual base salary, plus highly competitive personal sales commissions of up to 50%, overrides on eligible team sales, and performance-based bonuses.
- Work in the World of Sports: Build and lead sales teams at professional and collegiate sporting events, surrounded by the energy of live competition.
- Build a Team That Builds Your Future: Develop productive sales representatives and future leaders, creating an organization that can grow beyond your individual selling efforts.
- We Help You Recruit: VTG invests in an active recruiting and training system designed to bring 5–15 trained sales representatives into your organization each month, allowing you to focus on coaching, development, and production.
- Create More Freedom Through Leadership: Our goal isn't to have you personally making every sale forever. It's to help you build a team that consistently performs because of the people, systems, and culture you've developed.
- Grow Beyond One Team: As the sports division expands, successful leaders may earn opportunities to develop additional teams, train future managers, and take on greater responsibility across multiple markets.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
We're looking for builders, not babysitters.
This isn't a position where you sit back, collect overrides, and hope your team performs.
You'll be expected to lead from the front, establish the standard, and develop a team that can eventually execute without requiring your constant involvement.
Your responsibilities include:
- Build Your Team: Work alongside VTG's recruiting and training organization to onboard new sales representatives and develop a productive sales force.
- Lead From the Front: Demonstrate customer engagement, vacation package presentations, and closing techniques while helping your representatives master the sales process.
- Drive Team Performance: Establish clear expectations, coach your representatives, track production, and create a culture of accountability.
- Develop Future Leaders: Identify high-potential representatives and train them to take on greater responsibility within your organization.
- Build for Long-Term Success: Create the leadership structure, systems, and culture that allow your team to consistently perform and grow.
- Help Expand the Sports Division: Support the development of additional sports markets and teams as opportunities become available.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're not looking for salespeople we can teach to lead. We're looking for leaders we can teach to sell our product.
We can teach you the vacation packages, the sports venue environment, and our sales process.
What we're looking for is someone who already understands how to lead people, develop talent, and build winning teams.
Our ideal candidate:
- Has a proven track record of leading productive sales teams.
- Knows how to coach, motivate, develop, and hold people accountable.
- Is willing to lead by example and sell alongside their team when needed.
- Understands how to build systems and develop leaders rather than doing everything personally.
- Thrives in competitive, fast-paced, performance-driven environments.
- Loves sports and the atmosphere of live sporting events.
- Is comfortable traveling as needed for events, training, and business growth.
- Wants to build something substantial rather than simply hold another management position.
Experience in direct sales, outside sales, event sales, or other performance-driven sales organizations is especially valuable.
COMPENSATION THAT REWARDS WHAT YOU BUILD
Base Salary: $50,000 Annually

- Overrides on eligible team production
- Performance-based team bonuses

The opportunity is designed to reward leaders who can develop productive teams and build sustainable sales organizations.
