About the Role
We’re looking for an outgoing, driven, and entrepreneurial person to join our team as a Business Development & Sales Representative.
This is a unique sales role for someone who enjoys building relationships, meeting new people, and creating opportunities. You’ll work directly with the founder across three growing businesses in the activewear, custom apparel, sports, and live event industries.
Rather than selling one product or service, you’ll gain experience across multiple areas of business development—from selling custom apparel and merchandise programs to developing sports partnerships, generating new business, working events, and representing our brands in person.
The position will primarily be based in our Huntington, WV office during the week, with opportunities to travel to events, competitions, and activations throughout the year.
What You’ll Do
- Prospect and develop new business opportunities
- Identify and reach out to potential customers, gyms, events, brands, and organizations
- Generate leads through email, phone, social media, networking, and in-person outreach
- Sell custom apparel, merchandise, and apparel programs to businesses, gyms, events, and organizations
- Assist with developing sports partnerships and sponsorship opportunities
- Manage leads and opportunities through the sales pipeline
- Conduct sales calls, meetings, presentations, and follow-ups
- Build and maintain long-term customer and partner relationships
- Represent our brands at events, competitions, pop-ups, and activations
- Assist with in-person retail and event sales
- Help identify new markets, customers, events, and revenue opportunities
- Travel to select events throughout the year
Who We’re Looking For
We care more about drive, personality, communication skills, and work ethic than having years of sales experience.
You may be a great fit if you:
- Are confident talking to and meeting new people
- Have an outgoing and personable personality
- Are competitive and motivated by goals
- Are comfortable reaching out to people you don't already know
- Take initiative without needing constant direction
- Are organized and dependable
- Communicate professionally by phone, email, and in person
- Enjoy sports, fitness, apparel, events, or entrepreneurship
- Are willing to occasionally work and travel on weekends
- Have reliable transportation
- Want an opportunity where your responsibilities and earning potential can grow
Previous sales or business development experience is preferred, but not required. We’re willing to train the right person who is hungry to learn and willing to put in the work.
Compensation & Growth
This position offers base pay plus commission, giving you the opportunity to earn additional income based on the business you help generate.
For the right person, we want this to be more than just another part-time job. There is significant opportunity to take on additional responsibility, grow your income, and develop into a larger sales and business development role as our companies continue to grow.
Why This Role Is Different
You won’t be sitting in a call center reading from a script.
You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with business ownership, participate in real sales conversations, attend major sporting and fitness events, build relationships with brands and organizations, and see firsthand how new business is developed from the initial conversation through execution.
If you’re entrepreneurial, enjoy connecting with people, and want a role where your effort can directly impact both your income and the growth of the business, we’d love to meet you.
