Full Job Description
Deal Makers Wanted - Get Paid Like the BestIf you're grinding out calls selling season tickets for a mediocre team, an ops person with a background in sales, someone working in the cheer or dance industry with a knack for selling, or working in any other job that requires people skills and a high tolerance for sales rejection, we want to talk to you.

We're especially interested in people who know the cheer and/or dance market-whether you've sold into it, worked for a gym or studio, coached, managed operations, or built relationships throughout the industry.We're hunting winners. Our pay is top-tier: sellers who hit quota (yes, others do) make $160K+ OTE, plus benefits and a 401(k) match. No cap. No ceiling. Just upside.

The Gig:Convincing someone to make a jump equivalent of going from Google Sheets to Salesforce is not for the faint of heart. We expect you to be quick on your feet and able to solve problems. To put it in a phrase, we're looking for a jack of all trades, master of none.

If you come from the cheer or dance world, you'll be able to speak the customer's language and understand the unique challenges of running a gym or studio. We want you to turn that industry knowledge into trust, relationships, and ultimately new Baseline customers.

At the end of the day, we're a product-led company that is always striving to achieve perfect product market fit. We believe in recursive iteration and endless refinement of the user experience. Be prepared to be user-obsessed.

Why You'll Love It Here:

  • Generous Base + Uncapped Glory: Your effort directly translates to your earnings. Sky's the limit.
  • Work How You Live: Remote flexibility and hours that bend around your life, not the other way around.
  • Be a Competitor: We aren't the only ones working on this problem, but we are the ones who will win.
  • Know the Market: If you've spent time in cheer or dance, you'll have the opportunity to use your industry knowledge, relationships, and experience to help us grow in these markets.
  • The People: You become who you surround yourself with. We only hire force multipliers for that very reason.

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept:

  • Chase down leads and lock in clients who can't wait to be transformed by our tech.
  • Build relationships with cheer gyms, dance studios, and other youth sports businesses.
  • Be relentless in your outreach, making every pitch count.
  • Get down in the trenches at industry events, competitions, conferences, and trade shows, and network like your career depends on it.
  • Complete ownership of the entire sales cycle, basic account setup, and onboarding.
  • Use your knowledge of the cheer and/or dance industry to understand customer pain points and position Baseline as a better way to run their business.
  • Recursively iterate with the team; bring ideas to the table that improve the user experience.

What It Takes:

  • Proven track record in sales, especially where you've had to hustle for every win.
  • Experience in the cheer and/or dance industry is strongly preferred.
  • Experience selling to, working for, or working closely with cheer gyms, dance studios, gym/studio owners, directors, coaches, or operators is a major plus.
  • Existing relationships or a strong network within the cheer and/or dance community is a plus.
  • Experience in or the drive to thrive in a high-speed, early-stage startup environment.
  • A passion for sports and tech, with a relentless drive to see both succeed.
  • Humility to accept when mistakes were made, accept ownership, and move forward.
  • Above all, we're looking for generalists who take initiative and have problem-solving skills.

The Baseline Promise:

Yes, the days can be long, and the work demanding, but the rewards? Unparalleled. You're not just working; you're on a team competing for the controlling share in a market where everything is in the air.

You'll also have the opportunity to help Baseline expand further into the cheer and dance markets and play a direct role in shaping how we sell to and serve those customers.
