Not Another Sales Identity New Year Quiz… Except It Is (Kind Of)
- Uncategorized
- January 6, 2026
Let’s be honest. The internet doesn’t need another generic New Year quiz telling you how to sell, or about your sales identity.
But what is useful? Understanding how you naturally sell, because that’s where your real power lies.
Not everyone sells the same way, and that’s not a problem to fix; it’s an advantage to lean into.
Some founders thrive on deep relationships. Others shine through strategy, intuition, or visibility. None of these approaches are wrong. Yet each one comes with patterns that can either make sales feel effortless… or quietly hold you back.
When you know your sales identity, you stop guessing.
You stop overthinking every message.
You stop holding back because you’re worried about being “too much”.
Instead, you start guiding the right people with confidence, clarity, and without any pushy energy.
Every founder has a sales identity. Knowing yours amplifies what already works and unlocks what’s next.
So, read on. See yourself. And spot where you truly exSel this season.
The Sales Identities
1. The Connector
You thrive on trust, relationships, and genuine care. People are drawn to your warmth, your listening skills, and the way you make them feel seen.
Your superpower: Creating safety, loyalty, and referrals. Opportunities open naturally when you nurture connections.
Where you get stuck: You sometimes hesitate to clearly state your offer, worried that selling might disrupt the relationship. In protecting the connection, you can end up hiding your value.
Where you exSel: In-person conversations are where you shine most. You understand the long-term value of building clients, not just customers, and your work grows through meaningful relationships.
2. The Expert Guide
You’re the go-to person for strategy, insight, and breakthroughs. Teaching energises you, and your content is packed with value.
Your superpower: Delivering practical transformation. People come for your knowledge and leave ready to take action.
Where you get stuck: Over-delivering for free. Your audience loves your insights but doesn’t always realise there’s a paid way to go deeper with you.
Where you exSel: Guidance is magnetic. When you clearly invite people to take the next step, “Here’s how to get results faster”, sales feel aligned and natural.
3. The Intuitive Advisor
You sense what’s unsaid. You hold space for breakthroughs and can spot the real issue behind the story.
Your superpower: Deep empathy. Clients feel truly understood and gain clarity that shifts both their perspective and next steps.
Where you get stuck: Absorbing hesitation. When you sense doubt or uncertainty, you may hold back your offer rather than lead.
Where you exSel: Trust your intuition and guide anyway. Show the next step clearly, it’s not your job to carry their decision for them.
4. The Magnetic Architect
You’ve built a brand that attracts. Your presence is unmistakable, and people often find you before you ever pitch.
Your superpower: Magnetic visibility. DMs, referrals, and recognition come naturally.
Where you get stuck: Complacency. Without intention, you risk becoming a “best kept secret” by not evolving or repeating your message.
Where you exSel: Keep your energy and message alive. Repetition builds trust, recognition, and long-term loyalty.
Every sales identity has an edge. None are fixed. But spotting your patterns gives you the power to shift, refine, and scale.
