Sales & Business Development Manager

D1 Training Lincolnshire | Lincolnshire, IL

Full-Time | $55,000-$60,000 Base + Performance Incentives

On-Target Earnings: $70,000-$85,000

OWN THE SALES. BUILD THE BUSINESS. DRIVE THE GROWTH.

D1 Training Lincolnshire is looking for a proven Sales & Business Development Manager to take ownership of sales and revenue growth at our new training facility.

This is a sales role first. While youll be a key member of our leadership team, your primary responsibility is simple: grow revenue.

Youll be supported by a dedicated team member responsible for lead outreach, nurture, and appointment setting-allowing you to focus on what great salespeople do best: conduct high-quality consultations, close business, build relationships, and create new revenue opportunities.

But were not looking for someone who simply waits for appointments to appear on their calendar.

We want a hunter and a closer.

Youll be responsible for generating new business through grassroots marketing, referrals, local partnerships, sports organizations, community relationships, and creative prospecting-then converting those opportunities into memberships, personal training, and small-group training.

WHAT YOULL OWN

Sales & Closing

• Conduct athlete and adult assessments, consultations, and goal-setting sessions

• Uncover each prospects goals, challenges, and motivation

• Recommend the appropriate D1 training solution

• Present and close memberships, personal training, and small-group training

• Confidently navigate pricing conversations and objections

• Own assessment-to-membership conversion

• Follow up on sales opportunities that require additional attention

• Consistently achieve individual sales and revenue goals

Business Development

Youll be expected to create business-not simply work inbound opportunities.

Develop new leads and revenue through:

• Grassroots and community marketing

• Local business and corporate partnerships

• Schools, athletic programs, coaches, and youth sports organizations

• Member, athlete, and parent referrals

• Community events and activations

• Local networking and strategic referral relationships

• Social media prospecting and relationship building

• Team and small-group training opportunities

A meaningful portion of your success should come from opportunities you helped create.

Build Our Referral & Partnership Engine

Youll develop relationships that can produce business repeatedly-not just one transaction.

That includes building relationships with members, parents, athletes, coaches, businesses, schools, sports organizations, and other community partners.

Your goal is to make referrals and partnerships a consistent, measurable source of growth for D1 Training Lincolnshire.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Youll be accountable for measurable results, including:

• New memberships and revenue

• Assessment-to-membership close rate

• Personal training and small-group training sales

• Personally generated leads and revenue

• Referral production

• New business and community partnerships

• Average initial sale

• Overall membership and revenue growth

Were not hiring someone simply to manage activity. Were hiring someone to produce results.

WHO WERE LOOKING FOR

You may be a great fit if you:

• Have 2+ years of proven sales success

• Can demonstrate measurable results from previous sales roles

• Know how to close and are comfortable asking for the business

• Have experience generating your own leads and developing new business

• Have a background in fitness, personal training, athletics, sports performance, or fitness sales

• Can build trust quickly and uncover what motivates someone

• Are confident discussing price and navigating objections

• Understand consultative selling

• Are competitive and motivated by goals and performance incentives

• Enjoy networking and developing relationships

• Are comfortable getting outside the facility to create opportunities

• Take ownership without waiting to be told what to do

• Want to help build something-not simply maintain it

This is primarily a sales and business-development position, not a coaching position. Fitness knowledge and experience are important because youll be helping prospects identify the right training solution, but your primary responsibility will be driving growth.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

Experience in one or more of the following is strongly preferred:

• Fitness membership sales

• Personal training sales

• Fitness consultations or assessments

• Recurring membership or service sales

• Business development

• Grassroots/community marketing

• Referral partnerships

• Youth sports or athletic organizations

• CRM and sales pipeline management

• Sales leadership

SCHEDULE

This is a full-time, in-person position.

Because our business serves working adults, parents, and athletes, candidates must have flexibility to work some evenings and weekends based on scheduled assessments, community events, and business needs.

COMPENSATION

Base Salary: $55,000-$60,000

Plus performance-based incentives tied to sales and business growth.

On-Target Earnings: $70,000-$85,000

Performance incentives are designed to reward results in areas including membership sales, personal training and small-group sales, self-generated business, and overall sales performance.

As D1 Training Lincolnshire grows, there will be opportunities for increased responsibility, leadership, and earning potential.
