Valente Group

Client Representative | Entry Level Sales (Sports-Minded)

Valente Group | Grand Rapids, MI

Former athletes tend to outperform in this role. Not by accident.

1. They’re coachable.
2. They handle pressure.
3. They don’t make excuses when the scoreboard isn’t in their favor.

At Valente Group, we’re hiring an Entry Level Client Representative in Grand Rapids—and we’re specifically looking for people who still have that competitive edge.

We’ve built a culture where former athletes thrive. Why? Because the same traits that made you successful in sports—discipline, coachability, resilience, and drive—are exactly what fuel success here.

Additionally, we are a people-first outsourced sales company that focuses on building high-performing individuals and delivering tailored solutions for our clients.

The Role

This isn’t a desk job. It’s fast-paced, team-oriented, and performance-driven.

• Represent clients face-to-face and build real relationships with customers in-person
• Deliver a consultative, high-energy customer experience
• Work toward daily and weekly performance sales goals
• Learn how to run sales presentations, handle objections, and close confidently
• Be part of a sales team that competes, supports, and wins together

Why Athletes Excel Here

You’ve already developed the mindset—we’ll teach you the business.

• You’re used to accountability and measurable performance
• You take coaching seriously and apply feedback quickly
• You know how to stay motivated through wins and losses
• You bring energy, competitiveness, and team-first mentality

What You’ll Get

We treat this like a career path—not just a job.

• Structured training from experienced leaders
• Clear advancement based on performance (not seniority)
• Leadership development and mentorship
• A competitive, team-driven environment
• Opportunities for travel, networking, and team events

• In-person role in Grand Rapids, MI
• Weekly pay + performance-based bonuses; uncapped commissions average $55,000-65,000+ in the first year (plus additional bonuses and incentives)
