    ABOUT TREAD

    At Tread Athletics, we're a team of competitive problem-solvers, leaders, and former athletes driven by a core mission of helping baseball players reach their athletic potential.

    Each year, there are hundreds of thousands of high school baseball players and tens of thousands of college and pro players fighting to make the most of their careers, often without the knowledge, guidance, or resources that would allow them to keep up in the increasingly competitive landscape of amateur and pro baseball.

    We're fixing that by providing the information, resources, and guidance to help them squeeze everything out of their careers.

    A couple of stats:

    • Since 2015, we've served over 7,000 unique athletes, from high school players chasing scholarships to MLB All-Stars looking to maximize career earnings
    • 300+ Draft Picks & MLB Free Agent Signs
    • 30+ MLB debuts and too many college scholarships to track

    We believe in telling athletes the truth, doing the hard work, and building relationships that last well beyond a single season. If that's the kind of organization you want to represent, you'll feel at home here.

    As an Athlete Acquisitions Specialist, you'll be responsible for converting inbound and outbound leads into enrolled Tread athletes and serving as Tread's first point of contact and a direct driver of company growth.

    SALES TEAM VISION

    We are building a team as competitive about their craft as the athletes they serve. We want people who hold themselves to a high standard, seek growth, and are motivated by genuine impact, not just a paycheck.

    Top performers here will have a clear path to expanded scope, opportunities as they emerge, and materially higher earnings as we scale.

    We promote based on results, not tenure.

    WHO THIS IS FOR

    • You are a top-performing rep looking for a role with more meaning and more upside
    • You played baseball at a competitive level and genuinely understand what athletes are going through
    • You want to grow – into a bigger role, into something you're proud of
    • You thrive in a high-accountability environment where performance is visible and rewarded

    WHAT WE OFFER YOU

    • Weekly sales coaching and ongoing professional development
    • Performance-based career growth – high performers will be considered first for leadership opportunities
    • Uncapped commissions with a tiered structure that rewards elite performance
    • Relocation bonus available for the right out-of-market candidate
    • Conversations with high school, college, and professional athletes every day
    • Access to one of the top sports performance facilities in the country

    WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU

    Responsibilities

    • Manage a high volume of inbound calls with athletes and their adjacents – parents, coaches, agents
    • Guide prospects through enrollment with an athlete-first, consultative approach
    • Maintain a clean and accurate CRM pipeline, including follow-ups
    • Generate referrals and cultivate relationships within your network
    • Contribute to improving our sales systems and processes
    • High work ethic & schedule flexibility ( Monday-Saturday )
    • Support outbound outreach efforts as needed, including follow-up on cold leads and reengagement of lapsed inquiries
    • Share call learnings, contribute to team debriefs, and help raise the standard of the group – we invest in people who invest in the team

    Results

    • Maintain a close rate consistent with Tread's performance benchmarks (discussed on interview)
    • Meet or exceed monthly enrollment targets
    • Keep pipeline hygiene at a standard that reflects accurately in real-time reporting

    R equirements

    • 1-2 years of experience in an inbound sales, account executive, or consultative client-facing role
    • Competitive baseball background: collegiate level or higher strongly preferred, with genuine familiarity with pitching mechanics and player development
    • Exceptional on the phone
    • Comfortable managing a full pipeline independently without being micromanaged
    • Experience with multiple CRM platforms and ability to navigate sales tech
    • SDR or outbound sales experience is a plus, not a requirement

    COMPENSATION

    • 54k base salary + uncapped performance-based commission
    • Top performers have a clear path to six-figure total compensation in year 1.
    • Full compensation details are discussed in the interview

    BENEFITS

    Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance plus 401(k) with employer matching.

    WHAT WE STAND FOR

    Athlete First

    Every decision we make starts with what is actually best for the athlete. We don't take shortcuts that compromise that. Long-term trust matters more than short-term outcomes.

    Problem-Solvers

    We don't wait for perfect information. We assess, adapt, and find a way forward for athletes and for ourselves. That applies to how we coach, how we build, and how we operate.

    Relentless

    We don't quit on athletes, and we don't quit on ourselves. That standard applies on the phone, in the gym, and everywhere in between.
