My primary responsibilities focused on the business development of corporate partnerships for the Kansas City Chiefs, though I gained experience in brainstorming sessions to develop a keen understanding of the entire process.
My direct responsibilities included assisting in the creation of new business leads; supporting sales managers and coordinators throughout the sales cycle, including meeting prep; researching the sports industry for sales and promotional trends and new partnership opportunities; and stadium and facility meeting set-ups.
My four months with the Kansas City Chiefs enabled me to see myself working in partnership strategy and business development as a career. Learning about different industries is truly exciting, and makes every partnership unique.
