What Makes This Role Stand Out?

This isn’t about cold calling with a cookie-cutter pitch. At WBR, we equip you to become a trusted advisor, building partnerships with decision-makers like SVPs and C-level executives.

What You’ll Do:

- Build Relationships: Nurture long-term relationships with sponsors by delivering unparalleled value before, during, and after the event.

- Drive Revenue: Own your sales pipeline from lead generation to closing, with CRM tools to forecast and track your success.

- Deliver Results On-Site: Travel to events to ensure seamless delivery for your sponsors while upselling and cross-selling in person.

What You Bring to the Table

- 2–5 years of sponsorship sales experience for corporate events.

- Proven success in prospecting, relationship building, and consultative selling.

- Confidence in engaging senior executives.

- A results-driven mindset with a history of exceeding quotas.

- Comfort with CRM systems and tracking KPIs.

What We’re Looking For
