WHO WE SERVE

GIVING BACK FOR NEVER GIVING UP

ATHLETIC ORGANIZATIONS

Whether you’re a player’s association, athletic department, team, agent, coach, or advisor, you want only the best for your athletes. Working with Shift Group helps your athletes connect what they’re doing with what they CAN do today and in the future to maximize their athletic experience in the business world – including NIL and networking.

VETERAN ORGANIZATIONS

We know that giving servicemembers the best possible transition to civilian life is paramount for your organization. A successful transition starts well before they leave active duty, and if done correctly, improves their dedication to the mission while in uniform.

Working with Shift Group was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their exceptional training program ensured that every candidate was well-prepared for the interview and role, while their responsive and determined team made the hiring process a breeze. Thanks to their platform Shift Connect, we were able to vet the perfect candidate who has quickly ramped up and is now on track to become one of our top-performing SDRs, demonstrating remarkable determination and continuous growth.

LET’S INVEST IN THEIR FUTURE, TOGETHER

ASSISTANT COACH PROGRAM

LEARN, EARN, AND RETURN: GIVE BACK TO THE NEXT GENERATION

GREAT MISSION

We wouldn’t be where we are today as sales without the early mentors who helped shape our approach, mindset, and tactical skills. Our Assistant Coach Program provides our candidates with that same opportunity.

GREAT FLEXIBILITY

As an Assistant Coach, the ask is simple — donate as little as 30 minutes a quarter, or as many hours as you’re able to give. We’ll work around your schedule and provide a shared calendar that you can update in real-time.

GREAT CAUSE

For every thirty minutes you spend with a Shift Group candidate, we’ll donate $25 to a charity of your choice. So, in addition to giving back to the next generation of sellers, you’ll be contributing to a great cause.
