Introduction to Sales Success with - The D.R.I.V.E. Method
Welcome to The D.R.I.V.E. Method Sales Training. This system created by Michael Paulk has helped hundreds of sales pros advance their careers and reach impressive performance levels. But let’s be real, just knowing a sales process isn’t enough to guarantee success. The key to lasting success in sales lies in what motivates you each day, your mindset, and how you approach your work.
That’s why Michael has woven The D.R.I.V.E. Method into his sales training. D.R.I.V.E. stands for:

D - Determination:
The relentless pursuit of success in sales and life.
R - Resilience:
The ability to bounce back from rejection, setbacks, and tough days.
I - Influence:
Mastering the art of persuasion and building strong relationships.
V - Value:
Providing real solutions that truly matter to customers.
E - Execution:
Taking consistent, focused action to achieve results.


Think of any sales process as your roadmap, while The D.R.I.V.E. Method is the engine that fuels your success. Without “drive” and the right mindset, even the best process will produce average or worse results.
At the heart of The D.R.I.V.E. Method is your mindset. It’s the central hub that keeps all five elements working together.

When your mindset is strong, your Determination increases, your Resilience toughens, your Influence grows, your Value shines, and your Execution becomes second nature.
When you go through NLS training, you’ll notice D.R.I.V.E. principles highlighted after each module and how they apply to the sales steps and the specific techniques discussed.
Get ready to elevate your sales career! Success isn’t just about what you know; it’s about what DRIVES you!
