Eight Archetypes. Sixteen Pairings. One System.

We classify your reps. We classify your managers. Then we show you which pairings work and which create friction. Every combination scored. Every dynamic explained.

The Four Rep Archetypes

The Engine (Pipeline Developer)

High-velocity prospector. Thrives on outbound activity, cold call volume, and steady pipeline rhythm. Best in transactional or velocity-driven motions.

The Sniper (Conversion Specialist)

Competitive closer. Wins on urgency, reads buyers fast, executes under pressure. Best in mid-market closing roles where deal velocity matters more than deep discovery.

The Root (Solutions Architect)

Deep consultative seller. Builds trust over time, navigates complex deals, owns the technical buyer relationship. Best in enterprise solution sales.

The Grandmaster (Enterprise Strategist)

Systems-thinking strategist. Multi-threads accounts, plays long games, expands inside named accounts. Best in strategic enterprise where deals span quarters.

The Four Manager Archetypes

The Driver

D-dominant. Numbers and pace. Best paired with reps who thrive under direct pressure. Shadow: micromanagement under stress.

The Conductor

C-dominant. Systems and process. Builds repeatable playbooks and rep-development cadence. Shadow: over-engineering when speed matters.

The Coach

S-dominant. Growth and development. Patient skill-builder, strong at retention. Shadow: avoids hard conversations.

The Igniter

I-dominant. Rally and energy. Inspiration-first leader, strong at culture and recruiting. Shadow: optimism where accountability is needed.

Sixteen Pairings, Each Scored
