Sports & Leisure Background? Entry-Level Sales | Immediate Start

If you’ve worked in a leisure centre, coached a team, played competitive sport or built your life around fitness, you already possess qualities employers struggle to teach: discipline, resilience, teamwork and the willingness to improve.

The question is...where can those qualities take you?

Pinnacle’s founder, Peter, began his career at Hurstville Aquatic Centre and Hurstville Golf Course before working in marketing and media with the NRL. Wanting greater responsibility, earning potential and control over his future, he stepped into face-to-face sales with no previous experience.

Faima came from professional rugby league and made the same leap. He brought his discipline, competitiveness and team-first mentality into sales and has since progressed into a senior leadership position.

Their paths were different, but the mindset was the same.

Today, Pinnacle is a growing team operating across two sales divisions - built around clear standards, daily coaching and progression earned through performance.

Now we’re looking for the next people ready to turn the mindset developed through sport into a career with somewhere meaningful to go.

You’ll join our Sydney-based face-to-face customer acquisition team, representing established Australian not-for-profit organisations across community campaigns.

You’ll learn how to communicate confidently, build rapport quickly, handle pressure, influence ethically and perform toward clear individual and team targets.

This isn’t a sports role, but it is an environment where the mindset developed through sport is genuinely rewarded.

No previous sales experience is required. We provide paid training, daily coaching and a structured development pathway. You bring the attitude, reliability and willingness to improve.

• $36–$47 per hour, depending on experience and progression

• Uncapped weekly commissions and performance bonuses

• Fully paid training from your first day

• Daily coaching from experienced sales leaders

• Full-time Monday–Friday hours with shorter Fridays

• An energetic, social and competitive team environment

• Regular recognition, team activities and travel opportunities

• Performance-based progression into training and leadership

• The chance to join a growing business and help shape its future

You could be a strong fit if you:

• Have worked in a leisure centre, gym, sporting club or recreation environment

• Have experience coaching, competing or working within a team

• Enjoy being challenged and measured by your performance

• Respond well to coaching and constructive feedback

• Communicate confidently and enjoy meeting new people

• Want your effort to influence your income and progression

• Are reliable, resilient and available full-time Monday–Friday

• Can commute to Surry Hills and work across Sydney locations

Experience in sport, fitness, recreation, hospitality or customer service is valuable—but attitude, character and consistency matter most.

Everyone begins by mastering the frontline role. As you demonstrate performance, reliability and the ability to positively influence others, you can earn opportunities to:

• Support and coach new starters

• Assist with team training

• Take responsibility for campaign performance

• Develop into future leadership and management positions

Progression isn’t promised because of time served. It is earned through results, consistency and leadership by example, the same principles that apply in competitive sport.

If sport has given you the drive but your current role isn’t giving you the future, this could be your next challenge.
