With a degree in Business Information Management from Leeds Metropolitan University, Jamie Hayton longed to find a career in a motivating environment. A month after attending the assessment day, Pareto Law placed the 26 year old at NDL in Wetherby. Nine months later, Jamie is excelling in his sales position and was recently asked to speak to students at his old university who are considering a career in sales.

The first steps to success

Jamie discovered Pareto Law whilst browsing for jobs on the Internet. Following the telephone interview, Jamie was invited to attend an assessment day. There he sailed through a range of psychometric and group tests, which highlighted his vibrant personality and potential for succeeding in the sales environment. The sales training from Pareto Law allowed Jamie to gain confidence within a business context and he found additional motivation from his fellow candidates, who all shared the same determination to succeed in sales.

A helping hand

"From the outset the guys at Pareto Law were professional and focussed on finding the most suitable position for me. I constantly received feedback and even now I still speak to Pareto on a regular basis. They have really given me a helping hand in finding a job, which satisfies my career needs and ambitions.

Respect for the sales profession

"The sales profession is sometimes perceived as an easy option, but believe me that is certainly not the case. Working in sales means you are at the forefront of the business so you have to constantly keep your wits about you and present the public face of the company. "To succeed in sales you have to bring commitment, drive and professionalism. What Pareto Law adds is the support and training, creating sales professionals who have the ability to gain respect and success for their company.

Challenges and support

"My role at NDL is extremely satisfying and I have already gained some fantastic experience. We immediately meet with clients in order to speed up the learning process. It's a sink or swim scenario but so far I have enjoyed the challenge and thanks to the support I have received from both Pareto Law and NDL I am feeling very excited about the opportunities that await me."
