Learn how to increase ticket revenue to raise

The Ultimate Toolkit is now offering an exclusive certification program in conjunction with the ECHL. You can pick training for Group Sales, B2B Ticket Sales or both.
This training will help you jump to the front of the line for ticket sales positions in the ECHL as they re-build their sales staffs for the coming season.
The training was created by Steve DeLay, co-author of “The Ultimate Toolkit to Sell the Last Seat in the House”. Your training role play videos will be reviewed by ECHL Sales Managers who are looking to hire right now. And, your best videos will be entered in to an ECHL job board for all ECHL teams to view and potentially hire you.
“I wanted to share a huge thank you for putting together such an awesome learning course over the past two months with B2B and Group Sales. Participating in The Ultimate Toolkit is what helped me build up that final surge and break through into the sports industry with my first full-time job. I know I have a great foundation between this training and the customer service skills I developed working game days with the Jacksonville Jaguars that will help allow me to produce outstanding results in Winston-Salem.” – Matt B, who recently completed certification.

Selling tickets to businesses takes specific skills and training. These skills are dramatically different from selling group tickets or selling to individual fans.
This program teaches you how to get an appointment with any top-level executive, and how to make an effective face to face ticket sales presentation to that business executive. That presentation includes what questions to ask, how to recommend the right product and successfully develop relationships to close the sales. These are critical sales skills needed by ECHL teams across the country.
- Comprehensive learning with 15 modules for you to dive into the tools and techniques on how to get appointments and sell to businesses, taken directly from The Ultimate Toolkit. The material is broken down in to bite-sized pieces in modules 10-15 minutes each for easy learning. We will help provide an easy to follow guide to spread out the content over a few weeks.
- Two video role plays graded by ECHL sales managers including a video role play of Getting an Appointment and Making the Sale. Sales Managers looking to hire will be giving you specific feedback. It’s your chance to directly impress the right people.
- Cut to the front of the hiring line when your video role plays go directly into the ECHL resume/video database for every team’s sales manager to review. You’ll be the front of the line candidates looking for jobs in the ECHL.
