SPMA provides a practical starting answer. Add first-hand experience, a different perspective or a useful example from the industry.
Learn terms in context. Follow how a real team earns revenue, sells tickets, delivers partnerships, engages fans and operates events, then note the language that appears in those processes. You should understand concepts such as sponsorship rights and activation, ticket retention and renewal, CRM, inventory, hospitality, yield, conversion and basic revenue metrics if they relate to your target role. Do not force jargon into interviews. The point is to understand what colleagues mean and to ask better questions, not to sound like an industry glossary.
