The 5 Types of Salespeople and How DRIVE Helps Them Sell Smarter, Not Harder

Every salesperson’s grind looks a little different.
Maybe you’re knocking doors. Sending DMs. Pitching doctors. Giving test drives. Pushing policy add-ons. You’ve probably been told that “sales is a numbers game” but what if the problem isn’t the numbers?

What if the problem is how you’re showing up to sell?

The truth is, most salespeople aren’t burnt out because they’re soft, they’re burnt out because they’re misaligned.

That’s where the DRIVE Sales System comes in. It helps you sell from your true motivation style, so your pitch stops feeling forced and starts feeling like you.
Here’s how DRIVE helps 5 very different types of salespeople hit new levels of performance:

1. Outside Salespeople

“I’m knocking doors, chasing leads, and running on fumes.”
You thrive on the hunt, but burnout is real when you feel like you’re always in grind mode.

DRIVE helps you:

  • Understand what fuels your performance
  • Refine your pitch to match the motivation style of each prospect
  • Stay consistent without burning out

When you sell from alignment, you don’t just hustle, you convert.

2. Multi-Level Marketers (MLM)

“I believe in the product. So why does it feel so awkward?”
You’re passionate. But the cold DMs, the scripted follow-ups, the awkward invites… they’re exhausting.

DRIVE helps you:

  • Ditch copy-paste tactics and communicate authentically
  • Lead your downline with clarity, not guesswork
  • Discover your leadership language and build deeper trust

Selling doesn’t have to feel fake when you’re speaking from your core.

3. Insurance Salespeople

“I get ghosted. A lot. And rejection hits harder every time.”
Your job is to protect people’s futures, but most don’t even want to talk.

DRIVE helps you:

  • Build trust fast by aligning with their primary motivator (security, status, connection, etc.)
  • Show up with confidence that’s rooted in who you are
  • Recover from rejection faster with clarity on what went wrong

When you know what drives them and what drives you, you don’t just sell protection. You sell peace of mind.

4. Pharmaceutical Sales Reps

“I’ve got 90 seconds to make an impact, if they let me in the door at all.”
Doctors are busy. You need more than a sample tray and a talking point.

DRIVE helps you:

  • Adjust your messaging to the physician’s dominant buying style
  • Connect beyond clinical facts
  • Build long-term influence through emotional intelligence and self-awareness

Better access starts with better alignment.

5. Car Dealership Salespeople

“I’ve got the product knowledge, but some buyers still walk away.”
You can list every feature on the lot. But features don’t close deals feelings do.

DRIVE helps you:

  • Read customers better
  • Tailor your message to speak their motivational language (freedom, logic, fun, trust, etc.)
  • Sell with more emotional precision and less pressure

Because at the end of the day, they’re not just buying the car.
They’re buying the story they believe about themselves in it.

Why It Works

Rooted in behavioral psychology and tested across diverse sales teams, DRIVE helps you discover your core sales style and teaches you how to spot and speak to the five dominant buying motivations.
DRIVE doesn’t change who you are.
It helps you understand who you are and sell from that place.
