Senior Group Events Specialist
Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Area
My main focus is to activate and maintain new business and ticket sales opportunities for the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA basketball team. I work to bring new business with premium hospitality opportunities, such as suites and all-inclusive packages, groups, new membership sales and all other aspects of new sales. I also work with other properties in the Cleveland Cavaliers family, such as the Cleveland Monsters, Canton Charge, as well as many concerts at the Q. For each of the past four seasons I have created sales between $750,000 and $1,000,000 in total revenue for the company. For just the Monsters and Charge this year, I accrued over $136,000 in group sales and new memberships. I take my role as a leader within my team very seriously. For each the past four season, I have also been recognized by my peers and leadership team as a finalist for our Five Characteristics award of our sales team, which embodies strong work ethic, passion for my craft, openness to learning, positive attitude and leadership. I have won the award twice. Last year, I participated and completed in our L.E.A.D. (leadership development) program. I also ran our ticket sales campaign for renewals, new business, premium seating and groups for the MAC Tournament, reaching our pre-tournament goal with the highest revenue prior to the tournament in recent years. I also work with more than ten different colleges in Ohio and Pennsylvania to coordinate educational programs with a ticket selling aspect, providing real-life sales training skills and experience. I specialize in cultivating and activating groups from many different categories, including businesses, employee benefit programs, college education days, youth sports, churches and schools. If you have interest in being involved with the CAVS, Monsters, Charge, arena shows or concerts at the Q, please reach out to me directly!
