As Gary Reisman was reading Business Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University, his course involved a year placement in the tax department at Price Waterhouse Coopers. Although he enjoyed the experience, Gary realised that he wanted to be making money rather than counting it. With his decision made, he contacted Pareto Law to help him find a career in sales. Two years on, at just 25 years old, Gary is Sales Manager at Baskind, one of the UK's leading manufacturers of promotional clothing and accessories.

Word of mouth

After having heard about Pareto Law's success through word of mouth, once Gary graduated he submitted his CV by email and was immediately called back by one of the Pareto team. Invited to the assessment day, Gary found it to be completely different to what he had expected. Instead of mundane exercises, Gary was involved in a range of psychometric tests and role-play exercises, which provided him with an invaluable insight into the world of sales.

Massive learning curve 

Two weeks later Gary was placed with Interquad, an award-winning IT solutions provider, distributing quality-networking products to the UK reseller channel.  The concept of being surrounded by his peers, some of them Pareto graduates, in a sales environment combined with the Pareto training course was a massive learning experience for Gary. After a year he moved to Baskind, one of the UK's leading manufacturers of promotional clothing and accessories, where he became sales manager, at just 24 years old. 

Fast track your career!

"The Pareto Law process undoubtedly played a fundamental part in my success and certainly fast-tracked my career progression. The training days took the sales profession back to basics, giving me a solid foundation on which I could build my career. The trainers were absolutely awesome: by getting everyone really fired up and motivated, they really brought out my potential. 

High standards

"Having seen Pareto Law operate from both a candidate's and a client's perspective I have found them to be extremely professional and pro-active. Here at Baskind we are now recruiting exclusively Pareto graduates, simply because our two organisations demand high standards."
