Aligning Values with Talent
Our core values are more than just words on a website; they guide everything we do, including how we choose our team members. We believe that by hiring people who genuinely resonate with these values, we set everyone up for success— our reps, our partners, our customers, and our company.
Core Values in the Hiring Process
You Can’t Spell Integrity without GRIT:
- Honesty and Transparency: We look for straight shooters, who’s handshake means something, and who follow through on their promises. This means finding people who are naturally good at building trust and maintaining strong relationships.
- Striving for Excellence: We value candidates who take pride in their work and hold themselves to high standards even when no one is checking. Experience in sales and a deep understanding of the industry help ensure they can deliver the kind of excellence we’re known for.
Embrace Progress & Innovation:
- Creative Problem Solvers: We love hiring people who aren’t afraid to think outside the box and bring fresh ideas to the table. Being adaptable and innovative is key in helping our partners and customers solve challenges and find win for all solutions.
- Always Learning: The best reps are those who are always curious and eager to learn more. Whether it’s staying on top of industry trends or honing their technical skills, we look for self-motivated individuals who are committed to continued growth.
Build Strong Relationships:
- Team Players & Servant Leadership: Relationships are everything in our industry, so we prioritize those who know how to connect with others and create lasting partnerships. We want team members who enjoy collaborating and helping our partners, customers, and colleagues succeed.
- Inclusive Culture: We strive to create a welcoming environment where diverse ideas and perspectives thrive. Hiring people who appreciate teamwork and diversity of thought helps us foster a culture where everyone can contribute to our collective success.
Embody an Entrepreneurial Spirit:
- Driven and Determined: We’re looking for go-getters who aren’t afraid to tackle challenges head-on. Our reps treat their territories like their own businesses, pushing the limits of what’s possible and always aiming for excellence.
- Impact-Focused: It’s important to us that our team is focused on making a real difference for our partners. We appreciate those who work efficiently, think strategically, and never miss a chance to celebrate victories, big or small.
The Way We Build Our Team
At The Grit Game, we don’t just fill positions—we build a lineup. A roster of difference-makers. People who raise the bar just by walking in the room.
We recruit with intention. Like an elite team in pursuit of a championship, we look for the gaps, then find the kind of player who doesn’t just plug a hole—they elevate the whole squad.
That means we don’t settle. We train hard. We expect more—from ourselves and each other. Because when we raise the bar together, we don’t just improve—we redefine what’s possible.
We hire for character over comfort. Ownership over ego. Mindset over resume. Skills matter, but values matter more. We want people who run toward challenge, show up with purpose, and don’t need micromanaging to do what’s right.
Our process goes beyond credentials—it’s about grit, accountability, and how you show up when it counts. We’re not looking for people who want to fit in. We’re looking for the ones bold enough to stand out.
This isn’t just a job. It’s a mission. And it takes a certain kind of person to play at this level.
