Launching a sales team from scratch in a new AI market, Gauntlet AI needed proven talent fast, but committing to full-time headcount before validating their sales motion felt too risky.
Shift Group’s Ignite Program provided a fully outsourced BDR solution, placing a former hockey player who could ramp quickly, test messaging, and refine the ideal customer profile in real time, all without a long-term hiring commitment upfront.
The Ignite rep booked qualified meetings faster than expected, and his final deal before going full-time covered his entire placement fee. Gauntlet AI converted him to a permanent hire before his contract even ended.
