B2B Sales Agent – Claw & Vending Machines (Soccer, Basketball & Rugby Venues) Location: New York City Compensation: Base salary ~$55,000+ performance-based commission (strong OTE of $110k+) Type: Full-time About Us: We’re a fast-growing sports & gifting brand bringing “mystery shirt” magic into the real world – via claw machines and vending machines packed with surprise soccer, basketball and rugby jerseys. We’re at the very start of this channel and our long-term ambition is to place 800+ claw and vending machines across the NYC metro, Northeast, and key US markets in high-footfall, sports-focused venues. Once we’ve cracked the US East Coast model, the plan is to expand this rollout nationwide – turning it into a serious global revenue stream. The Role: Your mission is simple: Get our claw and vending machines into great locations on a revenue-share model and turn those locations into long-term, high-performing accounts. You’ll be responsible for the full sales cycle – from identifying target venues, to getting in front of decision-makers, to negotiating terms and overseeing successful installs. This is a role for a closer with a track record, not a “starter”. If you know how to sell physical, space-taking products into venues (or similar), this will feel familiar – just more fun. What You'll be Doing: Sales & Business Development: • Build and manage a pipeline of target venues, including:, • Soccer stadiums and clubs (MLS teams, soccer-specific venues), • Basketball arenas and sports centers (NBA, college basketball facilities), • Rugby venues, sports bars and high-footfall leisure sites (arcades, attractions, student hubs, family venues, etc.), • Research and map decision-makers (centre managers, commercial managers, tenant coordinators, operations, etc.) and get in front of them via outbound (cold email, calls, LinkedIn, in-person visits)., • Pitch our claw/vending machine concept and revenue-share model in a clear, commercial way that makes it a no-brainer for the venue., • Create tailored proposals and negotiate commercial terms (revenue splits, minimum terms, placement, branding, etc.)., • Own the full sales cycle from first contact → proposal → negotiation → signed agreement → handover/installation. Account Management & Expansion • Act as key point of contact for venue partners – check performance, resolve issues, and keep relationships warm., • Monitor machine performance by location, flag under-performance early, and propose solutions (relocation, offer tweaks, creative changes)., • Identify upsell / expansion opportunities (more machines, better placements, additional venues in the same group). Execution & Operations Coordination: • Work closely with operations to schedule machine installs, maintenance and replenishment., • Ensure all venue requirements (H&S, insurance, risk assessments, branding guidelines) are captured and communicated., • Feed back on what you’re seeing “on the ground” – what types of venues and positions work best, what objections are coming up, what offers resonate. Reporting & Targets: • Own and report on a clear set of KPIs: machines placed, signed venues, average monthly revenue per machine, pipeline value, win rate., • Keep CRM / pipeline organised and up to date – no black holes, no mystery deals. What We're Looking for: Non-negotiable: proven track record. We’re looking for someone who has already sold into venues / locations and can show it. Must-haves • 3+ years B2B sales experience with a strong new business focus (not just farming existing accounts)., • Proven success selling physical or location-based products or services, such as:, • Vending / amusement / arcade / gaming machines, • POS / kiosks / retail hardware, • Experiential / in-store activations, • Other space-taking installations into venues, • Confident negotiating commercial agreements and revenue-share models., • Comfortable being out on the road, visiting sites, walking a venue and spotting where something would perform best., • Strong communication skills – in-person, on the phone, and over email. You can explain the numbers clearly and get to a decision., • Highly self-motivated and comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with clear targets. Nice-to-haves: • Existing relationships with stadiums, soccer clubs, basketball arenas, rugby venues, shopping centres, or leisure groups., • Experience working with landlords, asset managers, or centre managers., • Interest in soccer, basketball, rugby and fan culture – you “get” the product and the audience., • What Success Looks Like in 12 Months, • A healthy, visible pipeline of targeted venues with clear next steps., • A growing network of signed locations with machines installed and trading., • Real, measurable monthly revenue from the machines – and a clear view of which types of locations perform best., • A clear, data-backed rollout plan that makes scaling to hundreds of machines (800+ over time) across the US feel achievable, not hypothetical. Why This Role is Exciting: You’re early in a new revenue channel – you get to shape how it works and help design the playbook that scales to 800+ machines. Clear line between your work and visible, tangible results (machines on-site, fans playing, revenue generated). Base salary plus meaningful commission upside – the more you place and the better the machines perform, the more you earn. Real scope to grow with the project – from NYC/Northeast rollout to nationwide and international expansion.
