Section 1 - Instruction

Last time you learned the four seller types: Data-Driven, Results-Focused, Relationship-Building, and Enthusiastic. Now comes the real skill - adapting your management approach in real-time.

This isn't about changing your leadership style. It's about choosing the right motivation method for each salesperson.

Ready to become a sales management chameleon?

Section 2 - Instruction

Here's your new management rule: lead with their preferred motivation style, not yours. If you're naturally relationship-focused but managing a data-driven seller, start with metrics.

The goals stay the same - you're just changing your approach to match their sales DNA.

Think of it like choosing the right fuel for each type of sales engine?

Section 3 - Instruction

For Data-Driven sellers, start with numbers and analysis. Use phrases like: "Your conversion rate shows..." "Here are three key metrics..." "The pipeline data indicates..."

Give them detailed reports upfront and time to analyze. Always offer additional data breakdowns and trend analysis.

Section 4 - Instruction

For Results-Focused sellers, lead with targets and achievements. Try: "Bottom line goal is..." "Here's what we need to close..." "The key target is..."

Keep it brief, focus on quotas, and always include clear next actions. They respect efficiency over lengthy team meetings.

Who on your team gets impatient with lengthy sales discussions?

Section 5 - Instruction

For Relationship-Building sellers, emphasize customers and team collaboration. Use: "I'd love your thoughts on the client..." "How do you think this affects customer relationships..." "Let's work together on this account..."

Acknowledge their client insights, allow processing time, and show how decisions consider customer satisfaction.
