The 13 R2R Archetypes

The R2R Assessment identifies 13 archetypes, each a distinct way that a capable salesperson avoids the behavior they already know they should perform. An archetype is a behavioral pattern, not a personality type, a diagnosis or a label for life. Patterns can change when they are named correctly and addressed with the right intervention.

These 13 archetypes are separate from the six types of sales reluctance described on the sales reluctance page. They are a separate framework, so each is explained on its own page.

How to find yours

The R2R Assessment identifies a primary archetype plus secondary and tertiary patterns for each person. Brokers and team leaders can use the agent assessment for hiring, onboarding and coaching.

Frequently asked questions

Is an archetype a personality type?

No. It is a behavior pattern in how someone avoids a task, and patterns change.

Can I be more than one?

Yes. The R2R identifies a primary archetype along with secondary and tertiary archetypes, so results usually show more than one pattern.

Is this clinical?

No. It describes work behavior and is not medical or mental health advice.
