Job description

Event Planner
FastTrax Entertainment & HeadPinz Entertainment Centers - Southwest Florida
We're looking for a driven, results-focused Sales & Event Planner to grow group sales at FastTrax Entertainment and HeadPinz Entertainment Centers. In this role, you'll spend most of your time out in the community building relationships, prospecting new business, and securing group bookings-from corporate outings and school events to fundraisers, team-building sessions, and large-scale celebrations.
If you love meeting new people, closing deals, and then making the event happen flawlessly, this is the job for you.
What You'll Do:
  • Develop and execute an outside sales strategy to grow group and corporate business
  • Actively prospect through networking events, cold calls, local business visits, and community engagement
  • Build and maintain a pipeline of qualified leads in CRM
  • Conduct on-site and off-site presentations to promote our venues and offerings
  • Create and present tailored proposals to meet client needs and budgets
  • Coordinate with operations and F&B teams to ensure events are executed to plan
  • Meet or exceed monthly revenue goals

What We're Looking For:
  • 2+ years of outside sales experience, ideally in hospitality, events, or entertainment
  • Strong relationship-building and negotiation skills
  • Self-motivated with the ability to work independently in the field
  • Excellent presentation and communication skills
  • Organized, with a knack for juggling multiple clients and deadlines
  • Flexible schedule-must be able to work evenings, weekends, and holidays when needed

If you're ready to take your sales skills out of the office and into a business where fun meets performance, we want to meet you.
