George Pierce – Impact Investigations, Inc. Founder
My first venture in the business world, after graduating from Arizona State University with a BS degree in Marketing was with Engineering Equipment Company which was an Export Management Company exclusively representing over 50 US companies worldwide. During this time, I travelled to over 20 countries, and specialized in the medical field putting together government tenders to completely supply turnkey hospitals.
I was then recruited by 3M to work in the medical field selling surgical implants. I stayed in the medical field with a startup company called Ioptex. I spent countless hours in surgery with top surgeons selling intraocular lenses for cataract surgery.
Later an opportunity presented itself to work for a Private Detective Agency. My primary focus was to sell undercover operations to corporations who were having problems with their employees. I worked with them for over five years.
This ignited my desire to take the Private Detective exam.
The requirements for taking this exam are:
• A four-year degree in Criminal Justice or Business.
• A minimum of a one-year apprenticeship with a detective agency.
• Then you must pass the exam, where 80% of the applicants fail.
In 1997 I passed with a 93% score which allowed me to start my own investigation business, and I have been in this business ever since.
