Imagine your ideal job. Now add bowling. And arcade games. And parties every day of the week. This isn’t any ordinary office; it’s the beginning of a bowled new career as a Group Event Sales Manager at Bowlero Corp. You may (or may not) be great at bowling, but how good are you at juggling? Because the Group Event Sales Manager juggles many competing priorities, combining responsibility for sales and administrative duties with serving as the primary direct resource for their assigned regions. If you want to be an authority on events and help bring the party to life for our guests, then this may just be the perfect job for you.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES: Get a glimpse of all you’ll experience as a Group Event Sales Manager

GET THE PARTY STARTED • From corporate events and team building to fundraisers and other group events, you’ll generate group sales and achieve your annual sales targets for events averaging 20 or more guests

BE A PARTY PRO • Act as the primary district resource for selling groups within your assigned region

MIND THE DETAILS • Manage lane inventory for your district and coordinate your center’s group events by ensuring that 14-Day Forecasts are 1) up to date, 2) accurate, and 3) distributed to the center weekly

MANAGE YOUR PROSPECTS • Assist prospects who contact the center or sales office by phone or online with all group event inquiries and create lane reservation maps featuring all relevant event details

HIT THOSE NUMBERS • Respond to all event inquiries; turn them into booked events; and consistently meet (or, better yet, exceed) your individual monthly sales goals

WHO YOU ARE Creative. Organized. Self-motivated. Committed to the guest. Those are just a few of the characteristics that make for a successful Group Event Sales Manager. You’ll have strong selling and negotiating skills, the talent to cold-call like a pro, and the initiative to solicit new business and retain existing clients—all of which will be vital to your success. You don’t have to be a math whiz, but you will need to calculate figures like discounts, interest, commissions, etc. and you won’t balk at having to complete budgeting, forecasting, or month-end reporting. You’ll also be great at seeking out and implementing win-win solutions for Bowlero Corp and our guests.
