Plainfield, New Jersey \| Full-Time \| On-Site

NJ's Largest Indoor Sports \& Entertainment Center

EAT. DRINK. PLAY. REPEAT.

Game On is seeking a motivated, outgoing, and highly organized Event Sales Manager to drive private event, party, corporate, and group bookings at our sports and entertainment venue in Plainfield, NJ. This is a sales-focused position: generate leads, book events, build relationships, and grow event revenue.

COMPENSATION - SALARY + COMMISSION

Competitive base salary plus commission on event sales and bookings.

The compensation structure is designed to reward strong sales performance, with performance-based bonus opportunities and significant earning potential based on sales production.

THE ROLE

The Event Sales Manager will own the event sales process from initial inquiry through signed booking and deposit.

• Drive sales for birthday parties, corporate events, team-building events, private parties, school events, fundraisers, and group outings.
• Respond to incoming event inquiries and convert leads into confirmed bookings.
• Conduct outbound sales to corporations, schools, sports organizations, camps, community groups, and local businesses.
• Present Game On's established event packages and conduct venue tours and sales presentations.
• Prepare proposals, quotes, agreements, and booking confirmations.
• Follow up consistently on all open leads and maintain an organized sales pipeline and event calendar.
• Track inquiries, conversions, deposits, bookings, and event revenue.
• Build relationships with local businesses, HR departments, event planners, schools, youth organizations, and sports teams.
• Generate repeat and referral business and identify opportunities to upsell food, beverage, entertainment, and additional activities.
• Coordinate confirmed event details with operations and hospitality teams.
• Meet or exceed weekly and monthly event sales goals and provide regular pipeline and sales reports.

WHAT YOU'RE SELLING

Game On offers interactive sports, entertainment, food, and beverage experiences. Our event packages are already established. This position is focused on selling and booking those experiences - not developing the venue or creating the business concept.

• Golf simulators
• Digital sports experiences
• Multi-sport interactive games
• Digital archery
• Darts
• Putting
• Pickleball
• Food and beverage experiences
• Customized private and corporate events

IDEAL CANDIDATE

We are looking for someone energetic, confident, persistent, organized, and comfortable closing sales. Experience in event sales, hospitality sales, catering sales, entertainment venues, hotels, restaurants, sports facilities, corporate events, or party/event centers is highly desirable.

The successful candidate should be equally comfortable selling a child's birthday party, a group outing, or a major corporate event.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Previous sales experience strongly preferred.
• Event, hospitality, catering, or entertainment sales experience is a major plus.
• Excellent telephone and in-person communication skills.
• Strong prospecting, follow-up, and closing ability.
• Highly organized and responsive, with the ability to manage multiple leads simultaneously.
