ROLE OVERVIEW

Operating within a high-volume, quota-driven environment, this role leverages Salesforce CRM, CTI phone software, and OMS platforms to deliver a seamless fan experience across every interaction. The Account Executive delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.
HOW WILL YOU DRIVE IMPACT
Success is measured by the ability to deliver results through BOLD capabilities and measurable outcomes.
Team & Leadership Impact (Build Championship Teams)
- Operate with a "one Fanatics" mindset — winning as a team with a missionary rather than mercenary approach to sales and fan service.
- Partner closely with Fan Advisors to receive and convert leads, ensuring seamless handoffs that strengthen the broader team's pipeline.
- Actively collaborate with and promote cross-functional Fanatics teams — including Sportsbook, Collectibles, and Events — to connect fans with the full breadth of Fanatics offerings.

Innovation & Problem Solving (Limitless Entrepreneurial Spirit)
- Leverage the Campaign Dialer System and Salesforce CRM to optimize outreach efficiency and fan engagement across a high-volume call environment of 50–75 calls per shift.
- Continuously develop product and industry knowledge to identify new sales opportunities and stay ahead of fan demand and market trends.
- Utilize the full technology stack — including CRM, CTI Phone Software, OMS systems, and Microsoft 365 — to work smarter and deliver a consistently excellent fan experience.
- Identify opportunities to connect fans with adjacent Fanatics business units, turning single transactions into long-term fan relationships.
Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)
- Maintain personal accountability for a sales quota ranging from $300K to $1.2M per calendar year, consistently driving toward and exceeding targets.
- Execute a disciplined outbound outreach cadence of 50–75 sales calls per shift, managing time and pipeline with rigor and focus.
- Take full ownership of the end-to-end account management lifecycle — from initial outreach and order placement through to servicing and retention.
- Demonstrate flexibility and reliability during peak Hot Market periods, treating every fan interaction as an opportunity to represent the Fanatics brand at its best.
AI & DIGITAL CAPABILITY
We are building a future-ready organization. This role is expected to:
- Apply AI and technology to improve efficiency, quality, and outcomes
