A: We seek individuals who enjoy interacting with people, have good people skills, understand the value that extracurricular programs provide our young men and women and are self-starters who enjoy helping others achieve their dreams. Individuals who are willing to follow-up and offer ongoing consultative support to local booster clubs, teams and businesses. Individuals who are comfortable in using the computer and the Internet and who desire to run their own business, with the support from a national organization.

Q: How much does it cost to become a Club Advisor?

Q: How will I earn money?
A: You earn commissions from personal sales (PS) and overrides on sales (OS) from Advocates and Club Advisors you have referred to the association. You will also earn commissions from helping NABCA expand our portfolio that represents the most comprehensive database of fundraisers and product offerings available. NABCA members receive special discounts, bonus offers and super savings that add up to huge benefits for their organizations and commissions for you. In addition to providing a booster club with opportunities to benefit from special NABCA only offers, you will have the opportunity to create income by helping NABCA conduct local and regional training seminars, multi-club events and activities, clinics, tournaments and by introducing NABCA to businesses who will join as associate members or become sponsors and partners both regionally and nationally. A Club Advisor commission sheet provides a the commission fees that you are paid for each service offered by the association. For programs, such as fundraising items you are paid a percentage.

Q: Is a Club Advisor a sales position?
A: No! A Club Advisor is not a sales person. A Club Advisor is a person who has been trained to provide booster clubs and extracurricular programs with guidance, and support. As a Club Advisor you will have the opportunity to fill a booster clubs needs by helping to guide them to the right solution with the best provider on the market. Regardless of whether a club is looking to make sure that they are getting the highest quality apparel at the best possible pricing or seeking guidance on how to increase their membership, they will turn to you for support and guidance, but they will not turn to you to make a sale. We leave that to the industry experts who specialize in specific products and services. Just like a coach for a team, a teacher for a classroom or a president for a company, you will be looked to as an expert in providing guidance and support to booster clubs. A role that NABCA will assist in your success.

Q: What if there is already a Club Advisor in my city?
A: Great! Becoming a Club Advisor does not provide you with a protected territory it only gives you the opportunity to work with booster clubs, teams and businesses that you choose to support. Club Advisors are free to prospect and support multiple clubs, teams and businesses within their community as well as other communities throughout their state. When you become a Club Advisor you will have the opportunity to protect clubs, teams and businesses for a period of time while you are getting up and running. Once you protect a potential account, no other Advocate or Club Advisor will be able to prospect that account until after a set time has passed and you haven`t brought them on board.

Q: Do I have to be involved with a booster club to be a Club Advisor?
A: No! It does help if you have a working knowledge of what a booster club needs, wants and can benefit from. If you don`t have experience working with booster clubs or teams you can gain the knowledge through the training & certification conferences or the resources provided to every Club Advisor.

Q: What if I don`t have any business experience?
A: As long as you have the desire to learn, the will to succeed and the passion to help make a difference you can learn the rest. Support systems have been developed to help you achieve a level of success that will get you moving in the right direction.

Q: Can I make this a full-time career?
A: Yes. If you choose, you can make this opportunity one that will provide a full-time income year after year. Remember, you will be the first contact that clubs and teams call when they need to conduct a fundraiser or when they need help forming a foundation. The opportunities will continue to grow and expand as your knowledge and experience does as well. From conducting regional tournaments to helping put on Booster U seminars the income opportunities abound for Club Advisors.

Q: When school`s out can we still find opportunities to create income?
A: Most definitely, Yes! Just because school`s out doesn`t mean you don`t have opportunities to earn commissions. Summer is actually the best time of the year to prospect businesses as well as conducting seminars, tournaments, clinics and numerous activities. Remember, booster clubs can be found actively supporting programs both school and non-school related, year round.

Q: What kind of support will I receive?
A: As a Club Advisor you will be a part of a nationwide network of fully connected individuals who support booster clubs and teams throughout North America. Every Club Advisor has full access to a customized online support system that includes - a new Club Advisor support center, audio training`s, support documents and forms, commission reports, live and pre-recorded training calls, articles to help you grow, monthly marketing promotions and a prospect builder for controlling your business leads and customers. A system that is backed by a highly qualified and knowledgeable full-time staff that is ready to help insure all succeed.

Remember! You must first become an Advocate.
