What does a sports marketing manager do?

Sports marketing managers are sales professionals who manage the relationships between 

their company and the many different partners involved in professional sports. 

They usually work for companies that own sports teams, stadiums,

 or arenas in order to promote their products in the hope that people will buy them. 

Their job is to sell tickets, club seats, suites or sponsorships to business firms 

so these companies can gain access to potential customers when they attend these venues. 

The same goes for athletes, their agents, and sports equipment manufacturers.

Sports marketing managers may get involved in negotiations with team owners, coaches, or 

players to sign contracts or endorsements that will allow these companies access to prospective customers.

 They go out into the field to meet prospective customers and convince them that their products are a good idea. 

Sports marketing managers also need to work closely with engineering and design teams at

their company so they can make sure the products they place within the stadiums or arenas are 

going to be safe for customers and easy for customers to use. 

The job of a sports marketing manager is not an easy one because

 there are many different types of people involved in professional sports which means they have many different interests at play.

The job of sports marketing manager can be very stressful because

 the company they work for wants to make sure that they work towards the success of their company. 

They also need to be able to communicate with all of the different people 

who are involved in professional sports so that they can properly represent their company. 

Sports marketing managers often need high-level skills in order to do their job well. 

These skills include group leadership, negotiating, public speaking, public relations, and project management.

Most sports marketing managers available for hire will require at least a bachelor’s degree in business or marketing.

 Some will also require a master’s degree depending on the specific position they are interested in filling. 

Many will also require a high school diploma.

How much does a sports marketing manager earn? 

The salaries of sports marketing managers vary depending on the industry that they are working in. 

For example, if they work for a large company that owns multiple sports teams then they are likely to make more money

 because their salary depends on the amount of revenue that their company generates. 

Their salary might also depend on whether or not they are in charge of an entire team or merely work within the sales department.

 If their company owns multiple teams then it is common for them to make near or even more than $50,000 per year because

 it is possible for them to make anywhere from $100,000-$300,000 annually.

Many sports marketing managers also make a lot of money if they own their own business because

 they can charge around 10%-20% of the total amount of revenue that their company makes. 

This could potentially make them very wealthy as well as extremely busy because

 they will need to deal with all of the people involved in professional sports as well as their own staff.

Sports marketing managers who work for large companies

 that manage multiple teams will often work within a team or department 

that is much larger than other teams and departments within the same company.

 Many times, sports marketing managers who work for these types of companies will be in 

charge of managing large amounts of people and directing sales strategies

 so that their company can succeed. 

These sports marketing managers are very important for their companies so they often have very high salaries.
