Our direct approach to generating business for our clients has allowed us to experience rapid growth for the Sports-Minded Marketing Manager team. The organizational growth we received this past year has led us to anticipate 4 new expansions by the end of 2020. In order to fill the management team staffing needs in these new locations, we are starting our search for the ideal candidates. To ensure that we uphold the quality that our clients demand, they require that our Sports-Minded Marketing Managers be trained using an entry-level management training program.

Demonstrated excellence in time management and all forms of communication, as well as willingness to jump in at the deep end almost every day, is essential. The management training program is based on the feedback we received from business owners and organization leaders.
