Vector Marketing Success Story:
Laura Gregory
Over the years many well-intentioned people tried to tell Laura
Gregory what she could and couldn’t do. But it was her Vector
experience that convinced her she could do anything she wanted to
do, whether that be working in advertising, losing weight or becoming
a personal trainer.
“Because of my Vector experience I never had to take a job
just to make money. I have been able to choose the job I wanted.
Anything is possible; you just have to figure out how to do it.
I got that confidence from my Vector experience,” Laura said.
After university Laura dreamed of working at an ad agency, but
everyone told her she didn’t stand a chance without a business
degree. What she did have, though, was the practical business experience
she gained with Vector.
Laura built a resume around her Vector
experience. Her skills included strategic planning, sales and time
management, highlighted by national sales awards and honors.
In her interviews she used the presentation skills she learned
selling CUTCO to sell an ad agency on the idea that her real life
business experience was just what they needed. They agreed and she
got her dream job.
But dreams change.
Laura applied the goal-setting skills and perseverance she learned
selling CUTCO to the challenge of losing 60 pounds. Later, her healthier
lifestyle inspired her to become a personal trainer.
Today, in addition to being a personal trainer, Laura is back
in advertising as an account manager where she still relies on her
Vector experience every day.
