A clear overview of the partner model, the process, and what it means to be a Drive Growth Partner.

The Drive Growth Partner Journey

From application to active partner — here is how the process works.

1

Submit your Drive Growth Partner application. Our team reviews every application carefully to assess fit, background and potential.

2

Review & Onboard

Qualified applicants are contacted by our team for a brief review conversation. Approved partners receive onboarding materials and training resources.

3

Build Relationships

Partners leverage their existing operator network and build new relationships, introducing operators to Drive ecosystem products and services.

4

Earn & Grow

Earn performance-based compensation on every successful business introduction. Build a sustainable, long-term business development practice.

The Partner Model

Drive Growth Partners operate as independent business development partners — not employees, not franchisees. Here is what that means in practice.

What Drive Growth Partners Do

  • Identify and build relationships with independent automotive operators in their market
  • Introduce operators to Drive ecosystem products and services that match their needs
  • Facilitate qualified business introductions between operators and Drive Commerce
  • Maintain ongoing relationships with their operator network over time
  • Represent the Drive brand professionally in all market interactions
  • Attend local automotive events, meetups and community gatherings
  • Provide feedback from the market to help Drive Commerce improve its offerings
  • Grow their personal network of operator relationships continuously

What Drive Commerce Provides

  • Comprehensive onboarding and product training materials
  • A complete, differentiated product suite to represent in every conversation
  • Marketing materials and partner resources to support business development
  • A dedicated partner support contact within Drive Commerce
  • Performance-based compensation on successful business introductions
  • Ongoing product updates and ecosystem expansion to represent
  • Access to Drive Commerce's national network and resources
  • Long-term relationship recognition for sustained business generation

Performance Driven. Relationship Rewarded.

Drive Growth Partners are compensated exclusively based on successful business introductions and real commerce activity within the Drive ecosystem. There are no base salaries, no guaranteed minimums, and no recruitment-based compensation.

Our compensation philosophy is simple: compensation follows real value creation. We believe that partners who build genuine relationships and generate real business activity should be rewarded accordingly — and rewarded well.

Specific compensation structures, rates and terms are discussed with qualified applicants during the onboarding process. We do not publish specific rates publicly as they may vary based on product category, volume and partner tier.

Value-Based Compensation

Compensation is tied directly to real business introductions and genuine commerce activity — not activity metrics, calls made, or recruitment of other partners.

Long-Term Orientation

We structure our partner relationships to reward sustained engagement and long-term business development over short-term transactional activity.

Relationship Recognition

Partners who build deep, trusted relationships with operators and generate consistent business activity are recognized and rewarded accordingly over time.

No Recruitment Compensation

DGPN is not a multi-level marketing organization. Partners are not compensated for recruiting other partners. Compensation is based solely on business introductions.

What We Look For in Drive Growth Partners

We are selective in how we build this network. Here are the qualities and characteristics we look for in every Drive Growth Partner applicant.

👥

Existing Operator Relationships

The strongest applicants already have meaningful relationships with independent automotive operators — Turo hosts, rental operators, fleet owners or other automotive entrepreneurs.

📈

Entrepreneurial Mindset

We look for individuals who approach business development with initiative, creativity and a genuine entrepreneurial spirit — not those looking for passive income with minimal effort.

📋

Professional Conduct

Every Drive Growth Partner represents the Drive brand. We require a high standard of professional conduct, honest communication and integrity in every interaction.

🕐

Time Availability

Successful partners allocate meaningful time to business development activities. We look for applicants who can commit at least 5–10 hours per week to their DGPN practice.

🎯

Long-Term Perspective

We are building for the long term and prioritize partners who share that same long-horizon perspective — those who want to build a sustainable business development practice over time.

📍

Geographic Market Presence

Partners with strong presence in specific automotive markets — whether local, regional or national — are particularly valuable to our expansion strategy.
