ABOUT YOU

You are an overachiever. You’re extremely detail-oriented and possess strong prioritization, time-management, and organizational skills. You thrive in a systems-oriented environment and have the ability to adjust the system when needed.  You have an excellent understanding of the sales process.  Maybe you even have previous sales experience or a business-related degree.  You have superb interpersonal skills and people like you.  But that doesn’t get to your head. You’re humble and continually seek to improve yourself and the organization you represent.  You possess exceptional written and verbal communication skills.  You play well with other team members.  At the same time, you’re highly self-motivated and thrive doing most of your work alone, behind the scenes.  At the end of the day, you do what it takes to get things done.  Most importantly, you know this isn’t just a way to pay the bills.  It’s a chance to do something meaningful. A chance to serve others.  And a chance to make a life-changing impact on students with the Gospel.

 

ABOUT THE JOB

This is a full-time, salaried employment opportunity. Flexible schedule but most of the role will be carried out during daytime business hours. Stand For Truth is based in Columbus, OH, but this position can be done remotely.  With the exception of 1-2 travel days per month to Columbus and potential visits to 2-3 events per year, your day-to-day work can be done anywhere during daytime business hours (flexible between 6am and 6pm EST).

 

The primary objectives of your position are to (1) help achieve the mission of SFT by booking high quality school assembly opportunities for SFT speakers and musicians/bands (that would lead to ministry opportunities), and (2) establish, develop, and maintain super awesome customer relationships. In other words, you are in charge of booking Step 1 in our 3-Step Process (below) to achieve our mission.

 

Based on your strengths, here are some of the day-to-day responsibilities you’ll be trusted with:

  • Fielding all inbound leads generated by SFT marketing efforts

  • Generating new leads through cold calls and emails

  • Corresponding via phone/email with schools and organizations to book our performers

  • Coordinating pre-event details with customers while successfully resolving issues along the way

  • Collaborating with SFT team members to make strategic event booking decisions

  • Following our proven, systematic sales process while seeking continuous improvement of the process

  • Analyzing, balancing, and monitoring the calendars, needs, and goals of multiple SFT acts

  • Monitoring competition and the market to adjust processes as needed

  • Other tasks as assigned by the bookings leader for the benefit of the ministry as a whole
