Job Summary

International Sports Management, Inc. - Downtown Portland, OR

Early Career Women and Men Encouraged to Apply/ Recent Grads, Former College Athletes too!

Hello and thanks for reading! Successful sales women and men at ISM come from all backgrounds - some played sports in college, some didn't know anything about sports at all. Some were theater majors, others excelled in debate in college. Many are recently graduated women and men with a passion for challenge and growth. What do they have in common? They are unafraid of failure, don't give up, and most importantly, they learn how to have success.

Whatever your background, if you are excited about creating business relationships from scratch, then we can teach you impress and sell to executives in companies across America, and earn excellent commissions on top of a base with benefits! International Sports Management, Inc. (ISM) is the global leader in the provisioning of corporate sports hospitality and ticketing packages with over 21 years of experience, and we are adding sales representatives to our West Coast HQ in Downtown Portland! Interviews are currently being conducted for an upcoming training!

The role, an Inside Sales Representative position, will initially be responsible for new business generation. That means you will learn how to make a "cold" call "warm" as you are calling on executives in companies around the U.S. and selling packages to major golf events (U.S. Open, Ryder Cup Matches, The Masters, etc). However, crossover into other markets and championships (such as the College Football Championship, Super Bowl, NCAA Basketball Tournament, Kentucky Derby, and many more) will also be expected.

Companies you will be calling into are in major cities around the U.S., but this is not a telemarketing job. This is an inside sales position where you will be researching and building relationships with Vice Presidents, Presidents, and CEOs of multi-million, to billion dollar companies. The position will expand into account management in addition to new business generation, along with growth potential for promotion into sales management within the first 8-10 months.

This is the perfect opportunity for recent grads who are ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work in launching their careers in the business world. We are looking for assertive, educated, money-motivated individuals to be a part of our growth and high-performing team. A successful candidate will have excellent communication skills, a positive and energetic attitude, a great work ethic and the ability to succeed within a team environment while making top earnings and enjoying what you do! Our ISM Training Program will help take your most relevant work & class experience and transition what you’ve learned into success!
