Club Location:

Hunt Valley Country Club - Phoenix, MD

Arcis Golf team members thrive on anticipating needs, forging connections, and elevating experiences for our team, members, and guests. We are an inclusive team of unique individuals who show up each day with a grateful spirit, humble heart, and a genuine respect for one another.

The Sales Director is the club's membership sales player/coach, with both an individual membership sales and initiation-fee target and accountability for total club membership sales performance. The Director personally prospects, conducts value-based discovery, architects personalized tours, advances pipeline, handles objections, creates appropriate urgency, and closes membership opportunities while also setting expectations, reviewing performance, coaching the sales team, and taking timely corrective action.


This role partners closely with the General Manager, Membership Sales and Operations leaders, and club Operations to align capacity, pricing, positioning, the prospect and tour experience, and the actions required to achieve the club's membership goals.

• Review every seller's pipeline for quality, stage accuracy, next steps, aging, conversion risk, and forecast credibility; coach opportunities and ensure every qualified prospect has a defined next action, scheduled follow-up, and disciplined progression through the pipeline.
  
  

• Set and enforce strong HubSpot discipline across the team, including timely and accurate contact, deal, activity, task, note, tour outcome, next-step, expected-revenue, and source data.
  
  

• Use HubSpot sequences, communication tools, dashboards, and reports to prioritize team activity, improve follow-up, evaluate funnel performance, forecast results, and determine where coaching or intervention is needed.
  
  

• Ensure the club's CMA remains current and useful, including competitor offerings, initiation fees, dues, positioning, local market conditions, development, and community changes; translate findings into prospecting, pricing, positioning, and sales recommendations.
  
  

• Maintain a regular operating cadence with the General Manager, Membership Sales and Operations leaders, and club Operations to review performance, capacity, pricing, lead flow, the prospect and tour experience, operational obstacles, and actions that may improve or protect sales.
  
  

• Build strong relationships with existing members and centers of influence and lead the team in generating referrals and introductions that create qualified membership opportunities.
  
  

• Recruit, onboard, coach, develop, and retain high-performing membership sales talent; continuously assess talent quality, maintain an active pipeline of prospective candidates and address talent gaps proactively.
  
  

• Create a culture of urgency, responsiveness, accountability, competition, collaboration, and exceptional prospective-member care, grounded in the Arcis Golf axioms.
  
  

• Represent the club professionally in the community when the activity is expected to generate membership awareness, referrals, introductions, or qualified opportunities.
