The Foundation is important because it teaches the fundamentals on what it takes to not only be great in sales, but also in life.
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.
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
National Sales Center Trainee – Major League Soccer
Without a strong sales team, every other part of our organization will struggle. Butts in seats on game days come above all else! By establishing a strong foundation (see what I did there?) from day one with each individual, we are setting our organization up for long-term success. The Foundation literally sets the tone for what we do every day.
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.
Group Sales Account Executive – Mahoning Valley Scrappers
The Foundation is the ‘Top Gun’ Academy for the best of the best in the Sports Industry. At The Foundations’ core is a group of dedicated individuals working as a team to get better each day and elevate one another to achieve greatness. I have seen some of the biggest and brightest names in all of Sports come out of The Foundation over my decade plus of working for the Cavs and redefine the Sports Industry and be true trailblazers, leaders and innovators.
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!
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.
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!
