About Our Team
OUR CORE VALUES
We believe that a lot can be accomplished with a positive attitude and strong work ethic. We are here to bring the best out of each other as a department and we have three Core Values that guide our philosophy and are upheld in our office everyday:
- Accountable
- Adaptable
- Collaborative
Culture
In a very team-oriented environment, our team consistently works and interacts alongside full-time sales reps and members of our Ticket Leadership Team. They join in on weekly meetings and even compete alongside our Account Executives in our Sales Competitions! This year they have competed various sales competitions like a Race to Opening Day, our very first Reds Survivor and Deal or No Deal contest, Reds Putting challenge, NBA, NFL, & NCAA Bracket Challenges, and many more!
We also make sure to build strong relationships among our team through offsite team building activities, like attend various Sporting Events around the Cincinnati area (FCC, Xavier/UC, Cincinnati Open, Cyclones, etc.), Escape Rooms, Fowling, and more!
Career Development
The goal of the Reds Sales Development Program is to prepare our Consultants for a full-time role in Ticket Sales. We put a large emphasis on development and start with two full weeks of sales and service training. We also have weekly Development and Training sessions as well to make sure we’re fine tuning our craft throughout the experience.
