Senior Event Sales Specialist

Overview:

Hybrid - Lucky Strike Denver

Role

As an Event Sales Specialist on the Core team, you'll own the full sales cycle for corporate outings, social events, and organizational gatherings for groups of 13 up to 100 guests. This isn't just inbound - you'll build pipeline, work your territory, and grow lasting relationships that bring guests back year after year. We lead with presence - Lucky Strike Entertainment operates a camera-first policy. All video calls with clients and internal stakeholders require cameras on, and we expect associates to show up polished and professional - that means appropriate attire, a clean environment, and the kind of executive presence that reflects the brand we represent.

What You'll Do

Convert and Close

Handle inbound leads and outbound outreach for groups of 13 up to 100 guests across corporate, social, and organizational events

Own the full booking cycle - from first contact through signed contract

Match every group to the right venue, package, and experience for their needs and budget

Work high volume across multiple event types without letting anything fall through the cracks

Build Your Pipeline

Own all local business outreach in your territory - building relationships with companies, organizations, and community groups

Prospect, develop, and grow new accounts to consistently build pipeline beyond inbound leads

Hit Your Numbers

Work toward a quarterly quota, paid monthly on a tiered basis - stronger performance means stronger earnings

A Commission QRG will detail exactly how your pay is structured from day one

Pass the Right Leads

Lead under 12 guests? Pass to the Call Center and earn 15% quota credit. Top corporate account? Pass to Enterprise. When a lead is passed to you and you close it, you earn 85% quota credit

Own the Event Experience

Lead BEO meetings for your events - showing up prepared is a key part of delivering what you promised

Partner with venue ops teams to ensure seamless execution from contract to celebration

Stay with the Guest

Follow up post-event to strengthen relationships and build your repeat booking pipeline

Show Up When It Counts

Evenings, weekends, and holidays are our busiest times - and that's when we need you most

What You'll Bring

You don't need to check every box - but here's what sets the best candidates apart.

Background in sales, hospitality, or event planning - group or event sales experience a strong plus

Proven ability to manage a high-volume pipeline across multiple event types simultaneously

Confident prospector - you're comfortable picking up the phone and going after new business

Strong communicator who builds rapport quickly and knows how to close

Feedback-driven and eager to grow - you use coaching to get better, not just move on

Organized and detail-oriented - because every event has a contract, a timeline, and a guest who's counting on you

Comfortable with Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Excel, and event management tools like GEMS

Adaptable - corporate buyouts and birthday parties require very different conversations
