About bookaball
bookaball is an online SaaS platform for padel and other racket sports, providing sports venues with tools to increase occupancy rates and maximise revenue. Initially launched in 2021 as an in-house booking application for padel, it has grown into a platform serving over 180,000 users across two European countries, with plans for further expansion throughout Europe.
The platform consists of two key components:
- Player App: Enables players to book courts, purchase memberships, register for events, join open matches, and more.
- Admin Panel: Allows clubs to manage their facilities by viewing orders, reservations, and user profiles, as well as setting up voucher campaigns and implementing dynamic pricing. Clubs are fully supported in making their bookings accessible and managing them seamlessly.
What You’ll Do
As the new Sales Manager, you will play a key role in onboarding sports clubs to the bookaball SaaS platform.
Based in our Amsterdam office, you’ll frequently travel to sports clubs to build relationships and promote bookaball as the go-to platform for club management. Your expertise in the racket sports market will help you secure partnerships, particularly with larger clients operating multiple locations, such as sports club chains. Smaller clubs will also seek your guidance and collaboration opportunities.
In this role, you’ll also act as a networker—identifying opportunities, representing bookaball at events, and fostering valuable industry connections. Beyond securing deals, you’ll oversee comprehensive account management by building strong client relationships, optimising the customer experience, and ensuring partners maximise their potential. You’ll guide new clients through onboarding and provide ongoing support to existing ones.
In short, you’ll be the driving force behind our platform’s growth and customer engagement!
