Vector Marketing - Scam or Best Company to Work for?

Why do people think Vector is a scam?

There are a lot of rumors and myths that claim Vector Marketing is a scam, preying on naïve, but ambitious college students. So what is the cause for these Vector Marketing scam myths?

Before I start, let's answer the big question: is Vector Marketing a scam? The answer: NO.

Hear me out. It's always smart to do your research with credible sources before pursuing any work opportunity. I also realize that the internet is FILLED with information, and honestly, it’s tough to determine fact from fiction. Let me save you some time by sharing some of the facts so that you can decide for yourself if working with Vector Marketing is something you should pursue.

Here are some common myths and truths behind them:

MYTH: Vector Marketing is a scam because it's a "get-rich-quick" pyramid scheme.

The TRUTH: Vector Marketing is not a pyramid scheme in any way, shape or form. Vector Marketing is the sales and marketing division of Cutco. Vector reps are not responsible for recruiting new reps or buying any sort of product or service. In fact, Vector reps are independent contractors and they set their own schedules and have the opportunity to control how much they earn through a guaranteed base pay and commissions earned on each sale. Vector Marketing is also not a "get-rich-quick" scheme. Success is not guaranteed and it may take hard-work and dedication in order to succeed as a Vector rep.

MYTH: Vector Marketing is a scam because it's a multi-level marketing company.

The TRUTH: Vector Marketing is not a multi-level marketing company. Vector Marketing is a single-level, direct-to-consumer marketing company and is recognized as an official member of the Direct Selling Association. In a multi-level marketing company, sales representatives make their money by recruiting additional sales representatives. This is not the case for Vector Marketing, as our sales representatives earn their money by selling Cutco's World's Finest Cutlery directly to consumers.

MYTH: Vector Marketing is a scam because you have to pay for your own starter demonstration kit to work there.

The TRUTH: One common misunderstanding is that you have to buy your own starter kit to hold demonstrations for your clients. This is not true, as you are NOT required to purchase the starter kit. In fact, each Vector sales rep will be loaned a CUTCO demonstration set to show customers the quality of CUTCO products.

MYTH: Vector Marketing is a scam because you have to pressure your friends and family to purchase CUTCO products in order to make money.

The TRUTH: Having the encouragement and support of a peer group makes any new endeavor easier to push thru. What better support than friends and family. Vector reps receive a guaranteed base-pay regardless of sales that ranges from $13-$22 per appointment completed. This removes the "pressure" to purchase. However, it's pretty common for people to LOVE Cutco so at the end if someone wants to buy, it wouldn't be smart to tell them no. That’d be bad business and disrespectful to the customer.

MYTH: Vector Marketing is a scam because training is unpaid.

The TRUTH: The training program that Vector reps receive after they have been interviewed and accepted is unpaid. However, this is a common practice with a lot of companies and this does not make Vector Marketing a scam. The initial training program consists of two or three consecutive training days at your local Vector office. The local office manager can provide you with more details about the training process.

So, is working with Vector Marketing for you? It may or it may not be. Sales is tough. However, the ones who give it a fair chance, work hard and maintain a positive attitude will be better because of it. Every job has some component of sales. You might as well start learning how to sell now.
