about the work behind the growth.
DRVFORCE has been a huge asset for Therabody. Their deep relationships in golf have helped our growth across both the US and Canada. John and the team’s best attribute is their constant availability for a call/meeting. The customer is always top of mind!

Where We Win
Where product passion
and retail opportunity meet.
We focus on categories where shoppers care deeply about performance, technology and the brands they choose, and where retailer education and execution can materially change results.
Major retail accounts
We lead line reviews and ongoing account management across national sporting-goods, golf and consumer-focused retailers, preparing the pitch, navigating the process, launching well and managing the business after placement.
Golf and specialty channels
We develop specialty accounts, regional retailers, buying groups, corporate programs and selected green-grass opportunities where product knowledge and category credibility matter.
Wellness and wearable technology
We help connected fitness, recovery, wellness and wearable brands translate innovation into a clear retail story, supported by education, merchandising and disciplined launch execution.
U.S. retail expansion
For brands entering or expanding in the U.S., we prioritize accounts, validate pricing and margins, shape the assortment and build a practical launch plan.
What We Do
The sales work required to win,
and keep winning, at retail.
Our role flexes by brand, but the work is always practical: prepare the opportunity, win the account, execute the launch and improve performance after placement.
Retail strategy and account priorities
We pressure-test channel readiness, pricing, margins, assortment and competitive position, then focus time on the accounts with the clearest reason to buy.
National-account sales and management
We lead retailer outreach, presentations, negotiations and day-to-day account management for the opportunities that move the business.
Forecasting and sales planning
Account-level forecasts, seasonal plans and inventory priorities, reviewed against actuals so brands can make better decisions earlier.
Retail onboarding and launch execution
From buyer commitment to go-live: item setup, vendor onboarding, distribution requirements, launch timing and sales materials.
Merchandising and field intelligence
We evaluate assortment, fixtures, packaging and in-store execution, and use store visits and field audits to catch what reports miss.
Channel strategy and acceleration
The right coverage across specialty, regional, digital, corporate and selected green-grass channels, through direct account leadership, inside sales and field resources.
How We Work
From a credible pitch
to a productive retail business.
A repeatable pipeline, tailored to each brand we take on.
Pressure Test the Opportunity
We start with your product, your margins and your goals, and give you a straight read on whether retail is the right move.
Build the Sales Plan
We map the right accounts, sequence the outreach and build the story and materials buyers need to say yes.
Win and Launch the Account
We guide the buyer conversation, negotiate terms and manage every detail of onboarding and launch.
Measure, Adjust and Expand
We track sell-through, report back and turn early wins into more doors and reorders.
