Vector Marketing Success Story:
Ranjeet Pawar

The biggest lesson Ranjeet Pawar carried away from his time selling CUTCO was to set goals, and set them high. He continues to draw from that lesson today, along with those in professionalism and ethics he learned as an independent sales representative.

Ranjeet, 30, founder, owner and art director of Monsoon Galleries in Bethlehem, Pa., said he was taught to set lofty goals as a sales rep in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania.

“CUTCO spent a lot of time teaching us to set our goals. Almost like a mantra,” he said.

And, it’s in setting goals that Ranjeet believes sales reps define their success. “The great ones learn early that it’s not just setting attainable goals that make you great it’s setting goals that are inconceivable that make you great.”

For new CUTCO sales reps Ranjeet has this advice. “Don’t simply dare, dare to reach your full potential and beyond.” He said it’s about discipline and about how far you can take yourself. He is driven by accomplishment and feels that the experience allowed him to challenge himself, he said.

As his gallery gains more acclaim, Ranjeet said he stands true to the lessons he learned selling CUTCO. Along with goal-setting, he learned to act professionally, gained confidence and learned the importance of ethics.

“Selling CUTCO, I never felt like I was selling something my customers didn’t want,” he said. And he feels the same way today about the customers at his gallery. “If I get an inkling that a customer isn’t happy, I don’t force it.”

According to Ranjeet, what he learned with CUTCO and Vector Marketing is rooted deep inside and is not easy to pinpoint what helped lead to his success today – it’s really a culmination of learning experiences. “(The CUTCO experience) became a part of each layer and fiber of who I am,” he said. “To not have gone through it, I would have been at a loss.”

As a model of the entrepreneurial spirit, today Mr. Pawar is busy finding the right art and artists for his gallery, making sure the art is presented well, coordinating advertising and hosting art shows. All of that hard work is paying off. Monsoon Galleries was recently mentioned in the Escapes section of the New York Times as an anchor in the revitalized Southide section of the Bethlehem arts district.
