Job Description
Lucky Strike Entertainment, formerly known as Bowlero Corp, is a leading location-based entertainment company with over 360 venues across North America. Specializing in experiential offerings such as bowling, amusements, water parks, and family entertainment centers, Lucky Strike Entertainment has grown to become one of the premier platforms in its industry. The company also owns the Professional Bowlers Association, a major media property with millions of fans worldwide, which solidifies its strong presence in the entertainment and sports space. Lucky Strike prides itself on blending entertainment with top-notch guest experience, creating memorable moments for individuals, families, and corporate groups alike. As a dynamic and innovative entertainment company, Lucky Strike is committed to providing a positive and engaging workplace culture backed by comprehensive benefits and growth opportunities.
The role of Event Sales Specialist on the Core team at Lucky Strike Fresno involves managing the entire sales cycle for diverse group events including corporate outings, social gatherings, and organizational functions, catering to groups ranging from 13 to 100 guests. This hybrid position emphasizes both inbound and outbound sales efforts; you will build a robust sales pipeline by proactively managing your territory and cultivating lasting relationships that encourage repeat business. The role demands a high level of professionalism as Lucky Strike operates a camera-first policy for video communications to maintain a polished and brand-reflective presence with clients and internal teams.
As an Event Sales Specialist, you will be responsible for handling leads, matching groups with appropriate venues and packages, and maintaining a high volume of event management without compromising details. Your outreach will focus on developing new business accounts in the local community as well as nurturing existing clients to increase bookings. The position offers a competitive pay rate of $31.25 per hour plus 1-3% commission with a tiered structure incentivizing strong performance. You will have opportunities to lead Banquet Event Order (BEO) meetings and collaborate closely with venue operations teams to ensure flawless event execution.
This role requires flexibility to work during peak times such as evenings, weekends, and holidays to support the busiest events and maximize client satisfaction. Ideal candidates will possess experience in sales, hospitality, or event planning, with a proven ability to manage multiple event projects simultaneously. Strong communication and organizational skills are essential, alongside a willingness to embrace coaching and feedback for continuous improvement. Proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Excel, and event management software like GEMS will enhance your effectiveness in this role. Lucky Strike also places high value on adaptability, recognizing that the nature of conversations varies widely between corporate clients and social event planners.
Lucky Strike Entertainment is deeply invested in the well-being of its employees, offering comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, flexible 401(k) retirement plans, employee stock purchase options, assistance programs, and wellness resources. Additional perks include generous vacation and holiday policies, plus exclusive discounts for bowling, Boomers, water parks, retail, and events.
