Role Overview
The Membership Sales Associate is the front line of membership growth at Ballers Philadelphia. Reporting directly to the Director of Sales, this role owns the day-to-day work of filling the club: sourcing and following up on leads, giving tours that sell the Ballers experience, closing new memberships, and keeping current members engaged and renewing.
Success requires strong communication and relationship-building skills, disciplined follow-up, a genuine passion for sports and community, and the drive to hit and beat monthly goals in a fast-paced club environment.

- Drive new membership sales at Ballers Philadelphia by prospecting, responding to inbound leads, and converting tours and trials into members.
- Conduct club tours, trial sessions, and sales presentations that showcase Ballers’ facilities, programming, and value proposition.
- Respond promptly to inbound inquiries — phone, email, web forms, and walk-ins — and follow up consistently until the sale is won or closed out.
- Build and work an outbound pipeline through local outreach, league and program play, community events, and member referrals.
- Maintain an active, accurate pipeline in the CRM: log every lead, activity, and next step, and keep records current daily.
- Present membership options, pricing, and promotions accurately; complete agreements and process new member paperwork.
- Support new member onboarding — introductions to staff, programming, and court booking — so members find value early and stay.
- Run retention outreach: member check‑ins, at‑risk follow‑up, renewal conversations, and cancellation saves.
- Generate referrals and member-guest opportunities through relationship building on the club floor.
- Represent Ballers at member events, open houses, leagues, and community or local business outreach.
- Partner with front desk, racquet programming, food and beverage, and operations teams so the sales promise matches the member experience.
- Pass event, corporate, and sponsorship leads to the Director of Sales with clear notes, context, and timely handoff.
- Report weekly on sales activity, conversion rates, and pipeline health.
- Share member feedback and market observations with the Director of Sales to inform pricing, promotions, and programming.
- Follow membership sales Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and contribute ideas to improve them.
