In this dual-impact role, you will lead from the front—closing package sales yourself while coaching, motivating, and managing a team of sales professionals at high-traffic booth locations inside and around the metro area’s premier professional, collegiate and minor league venues!
No cold calling, no list prospecting, and no overnight travel. You build and lead a high-energy sales team right here in the Twin Cities' electric sports atmosphere.

- Leadership Perks: Earn on your direct sales plus team overrides and volume bonuses.
- Weekly Direct Deposit: Fast payouts so you and your team get paid every week.
- Local Twin Cities Hub: Work locally—no out-of-state travel or overnight stays required.
- Growth Opportunity: Lead the ground-floor expansion of VTG’s presence in the MSP market.
What You’ll Do
- Lead by Example: Engage passionate Twin Cities fans and consistently close premium travel package sales on-site before and during events.
- Team Management: Onboard, train, and manage event reps on pitch delivery, objection handling, and quick qualification.
- Operations & Logistics: Oversee booth setup, scheduling, and performance metrics across venues in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
- Drive Performance: Maintain high energy on the floor and hold the team accountable to daily venue revenue goals.
Requirements
- Location: Must reside in the Greater Minneapolis–St. Paul Metro Area with reliable transportation to local venues.
- Proven Sales & Leadership Track Record: 2+ years of face-to-face closing experience (Timeshare, OPC, Vacation Packages, Solar, Event Kiosks) with demonstrated team lead or coaching experience.
- High-Volume Engagement: Comfortable engaging hundreds of event-goers and teaching others how to hook foot traffic in fast-paced environments.
- Schedule Flexibility: Ability to work nights, weekends, and event schedules matching local game dates and major tournaments.
(Note: This is a direct sales leadership position—not venue operations, sports marketing, or hospitality management.)
