    About D1 Training

    D1 Training is a results-driven, athletic-based training facility for adults and youth athletes ages 7+. Our mission is simple:

    You pick the goal. We help you get there.

    We combine elite coaching, a team-first culture, and proven training systems to help every athlete improve.

    At D1 Training Lincolnshire, we're building something special from the ground up. We're looking for team members who bring energy, discipline, and a genuine drive to help people take action on their goals.

    About the Role

    This is not a "sit behind the desk and wait for people to walk in" position.

    As a Fitness Sales Specialist, you'll be responsible for generating appointments, building relationships with prospective members, conducting facility tours and consultations, and converting prospects into long-term members.

    You'll serve as one of the first points of contact for prospective athletes and families and play a critical role in helping them find the right training solution for their goals.

    This is a fast-paced, performance-driven sales role where effort, consistency, and follow-up directly impact your success.

    If you're competitive, motivated by goals, and enjoy helping people take action, you'll thrive in this position.

    Because our members train before school, after work, and on weekends, this position requires flexibility to work some evenings and weekends to support consultations, events, and facility operations.

    Respond quickly to inbound inquiries from our website, social media, events, referrals, and other lead sources

    Guide prospects through the decision-making process with confidence and professionalism

    Convert trial participants into long-term members

    Help families understand the value of consistent training and long-term athletic development

    Ask for the sale and confidently overcome common objections

    CRM & Administrative Responsibilities

    Maintain accurate records, notes, and activity tracking within the CRM

    Manage lead pipelines and follow-up schedules

    Track daily, weekly, and monthly performance metrics

    Ensure all prospect and member information remains organized and up to date

    Maintain consistent follow-up standards across all assigned leads

    Community & Growth Initiatives

    Support community outreach events, camps, combines, and promotional activities

    Generate referrals from current members and local partnerships

    Represent the D1 Training brand professionally throughout the community

    Collaborate closely with coaches to create an exceptional member experience

    Support member onboarding and the transition from prospect to active member

    Performance Incentives

    In addition to your hourly compensation, this position offers opportunities to earn performance-based incentives.

    Potential incentives include:

    Appointment Show Bonuses for qualified trial and consultation appointments that attend

    Membership Sales Bonuses for new memberships sold

    Monthly Performance Bonuses based on achieving individual sales and appointment goals

    Additional incentives tied to facility-wide growth initiatives and performance

    Specific bonus structures and targets will be reviewed during the interview and onboarding process.
