Happy Thursday Steel Fans!!
Today we talked with our new Account Executive, Dan London.
Check it out!!!
Originally from Portland, OR, London joins the Steel for
his first year as an Account Executive in Ticket Sales. Previously, he
served as an Account Executive for the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football
League. Additionally, London is familiar with the USHL environment,
having interned with the Steel in 2012, as well as the Cedar Rapids Roughriders
in 2011. Collegiately, London earned a degree in Business with an
Entrepreneurship Certificate from the University of Iowa.
London’s favorite part of working in ticket
sales is facing the challenge of filling the rink each game, and he hopes to
help create memorable experiences for fans. Outside of work, London’s interests
include watching the Iowa Hawkeyes and Oregon Ducks among other sports,
golfing, and spending time with his dog, Dexter.
What is your primary role with the Chicago Steel?
To sell tickets and to make
sure that everyone who comes to the game is satisfied with their experience.
How did you first get involved with the Steel?
I interned the end of last
summer, took a job opportunity in Phoenix, kept in touch with RJ and Monty, and
came back.
What is your favorite part about working for the Steel?
Trying to grow our crowd from
night to night in hopes that we can get to a sustain level of success where we
can expect a certain level of attendance per game.
What would you say is the hardest part about your job?
It’s hard to get to where we
want the crowd levels to be. To fix this I try to establish as many
relationships as possible through existing relationships and new relationships.
What are you looking forward to most this season?
Seeing how our compete level
increases, as well as, mascot night. I didn’t get a chance to see it last year
so it will be exciting to see.
What is your typical day like at the Steel for you?
During a typical day I generate
leads, make phone calls, process ticket orders, and have meetings here and
there.
What is a typical game day like for you?
Processing ticket orders,
setting up the box office, make sure everything for group orders and suites is
set up, and work the box office.
