Territory Sales Builder – Sports Industry
Job Description
Team Up Athletics is looking for competitive, entrepreneurial sales professionals who want to build their own business within the sports industry.
This is not a typical sales job.
Our Field Sales Pros operate like territory owners, developing relationships with high schools, youth sports leagues, and club programs to provide uniforms, apparel, and equipment.
If you thrive on competition, relationships, and unlimited income potential, this role offers a clear path to a six-figure income and long-term territory ownership.
You will build and manage a defined geographic territory by developing relationships with:
- High school athletic programs
- Youth sports organizations
- Club and travel teams
- Booster clubs and parent organizations
Responsibilities include:
• Meeting with coaches and athletic directors
• Designing uniform and apparel programs
• Managing spirit pack and fan gear stores
• Providing equipment solutions to athletic programs
• Building long-term partnerships with schools and organizations
The goal is simple:
Become the trusted apparel partner for the entire athletic department.
Every territory includes:
- High schools
- feeder youth leagues
- club sports programs
A typical territory contains $2M–$3M+ in annual sports apparel spending.
Our most successful reps build relationships across their territory and capture $800K–$1.5M in annual sales.
Typical income progression:
Year 1 Expected Income $50K–$75K
Year 2 Expected Income $80K–$120K
Year 3 Expected Income $120K–$180K+
There is no cap on earnings.
Unlike traditional sales jobs, this position offers the opportunity to:
• Build a long-term book of business
• Develop recurring annual revenue from schools and programs
• Grow a territory that compounds year after year
• Create relationships in your local sports community
Many of our top reps were:
- former athletes
- coaches
- teachers
- youth sports volunteers
If you already have relationships in the sports world, you start with a major advantage.
We’re looking for someone who is:
• Competitive and self-motivated
• Comfortable building relationships in person
• Organized and proactive with follow-up
• Passionate about sports and community
• Entrepreneurial in mindset
You should enjoy being out in the community, meeting coaches, attending games, and building relationships.
This role rewards initiative, creativity, and persistence.
• Commission-based income with high earning potential
• Ongoing revenue from repeat customers
• Opportunity to build a long-term territory
Top performers can build six-figure incomes by developing strong relationships with schools, youth leagues, and club programs.
Team Up Athletics partners with athletic programs to provide:
- custom uniforms
- team apparel
- spirit packs
- fan gear stores
- athletic equipment
We focus on building long-term relationships with athletic departments rather than simply selling products.
Our mission is to help teams look great, perform confidently, and represent their programs with pride.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to:
- control their income
- build meaningful relationships in their community
- work in the sports industry
- grow something that compounds over time
If you’re competitive, driven, and excited about building a territory in the sports world, we’d love to talk.
This role is likely not a fit if you:
• Prefer a predictable salary over performance-based income
• Are uncomfortable initiating conversations with new people
• Prefer working behind a desk rather than in the community
• Are not interested in building long-term relationships with coaches and athletic programs
Our most successful reps are competitive, self-driven, and excited about building something of their own.
If you believe you’d thrive in this role, include a short note in your application answering this question:
“What is one relationship in the local sports community you would start with if you joined Team Up Athletics, and why?”
This position rewards initiative and relationship building.
Sales professionals who actively build their territory typically reach $80K–$120K income within two years, with top performers exceeding that.
Those who prefer a traditional employee role may find this position less appealing.
