Account Executive, Organizational Business Development – Cleveland Cavaliers
Hands down the people. We have the best team members that are all working together for a common goal. We want to be the best in the business and make each other better every single day.
Inside Sales Representative, New York Mets
Continue to work at your craft – being better today than I was yesterday.
Account Executive, Organizational Business Development – Cleveland Cavaliers
The people. Everybody in the organization are genuinely good people. They push you to be the best version of yourself while bringing positive energy every day!
Promotions Associate at Harrah’s Casino
Clearly understand the expectations of you on the job and work every day to make sure you are moving the needle to meet that expectation or goal. In addition, make sure people know who you are! Work hard, but relationships are what build long lasting careers. Start early ensuring people know who you are and understanding how you can help them; genuine relationships are the most successful.
Account Executive, Organizational Business Development – Cleveland Cavaliers
Anyone can work hard for a day, but consistency is what will separate you. If you strive to “win the day” every single day, you will be great
Corporate Partnership Seasonal Assistant – Cleveland Cavaliers
When you look at who has come through the Foundation, what they have done and where they have gone (whether it be here or to other organizations) it’s incredible. If you were to take that away, finding success would be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Inside Sales Account Executive – Cleveland Cavaliers
I love how open and supportive this organization is. If you have a question, want to pick someone’s brain, or just simply learn more about what they do – everyone is willing to lend a hand. I’ve learned so much about other parts of our business simply by asking to tell me more.
Inside Sales Representative – New York Knicks/Rangers
In your career there will be things you can and cannot control. You can always control your attitude and effort.
Seasonal Account Executive, Organizational Business Development – Cleveland Cavaliers
The Foundation is important to me because it taught me many impactful lessons in such a short period of time. Lessons that I still reflect on and apply to this very day.
It also introduced me to some of my closest friends and the time spent growing together in the Foundation certainly played a role in the strength of those friendships.
Account Executive, Organizational Business Development – Cleveland Cavaliers
Start early! Connect with as many people as possible and ask as many questions as you can think of. The more you know coming into the industry, the more prepared you will be. Everyone in the industry has been through it themselves, and are willing to lend a helping hand to those who reach out!
Game Night Staff, Membership Service at Washington Capitals
Keep a level head! Sports has a lot of highs and lows, and it’s so important not to get too high with the highs or too low with the lows. There are a lot of things in this industry that you cannot control, but you can always control your attitude and effort – results will follow!
Account Executive, Organizational Business Development – Cleveland Cavaliers
Working in the sports & entertainment industry allows you to be present for some pretty unique events, that most people don’t get access to on a regular basis. Being able to attend events like the NBA All-Star Weekend, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, & NCAA Championships are things I will be able to tell people about for years to come!
Game Night Staff, Membership Service at Washington Capitals
The Foundation is important to me because it equipped me with the tools to be a successful sales rep and now a new leader. The amount of leaders who are “home grown” is a testament to the quality of the program we have here, and also to the leaders who are at the forefront of leading this program.
