In this segment, the speaker explains how the DiSC model can be used to identify distinct sales personalities that drive success in painting businesses. Two top‑performing archetypes are highlighted: the “hunter,” a proactive cold‑caller who pursues deals aggressively and prefers high‑impact interactions, and the “farmer,” a relationship‑focused networker who builds community ties and generates sales through trust. Despite their contrasting approaches, both types share core values—efficiency, productivity, and a desire for independence without micromanagement. Recognizing these traits helps owners tailor their recruitment processes to attract the right sales talent for their specific business style.

Chapters

A lot of people will say in a DiSC model, I want a high D, high I, very direct and influential person, persuasive. That can be a good salesperson. We identified two top-performing salespeople. One was a hunter and one was a farmer. Hunter was your cold caller, one that was going out and making something happen. Wouldn't like to go to networking events unless he knew the big fish was there. Takes a call and cancels his appointment because I'm going to land this deal. He just makes things happen and shakes things up. Then you have the farmers who just go out and network. Build friends in the community, and people end up buying from them. We found that the values are the same. What those people care about and what they love in life are very similar. They want efficiency and productivity. They also like a little bit of independence. I don't want to be micromanaged. It's interesting that their values were very similar, but their style was very different.
