The Vector Impact

Why are the majority of Vector reps college students?

Vector has been working with college students since 1981. We are passionate about teaching skills that help students excel in sales and their future careers. Because Vector offers autonomy around when, where, and how much sales reps work, college students have long been drawn to the schedule flexibility and income opportunity. Our two sons have had very different, yet positive experiences.

Select offices can work remotely. How does that work?

While many offices are fully in-person, certain reps may be invited to interview, train, or work 100% remotely. All they need is a cell phone and an internet connection, as the position will require using (no cost) virtual tools and apps—Zoom, FaceTime, etc. Our virtual programs have been developed over many years (and tens of thousands of hours) of effort, testing, and customer feedback.

How does Vector Marketing pay?

Reps earn a guaranteed base pay of $20-$28 every time they show Cutco to a qualified prospect, whether that be in-person or virtually. This is NOT an hourly rate. People sometimes think it’s $20-$28 per hour because most appointments take between 45 minutes to an hour. This is incorrect, though. It’s $20-$28 per qualified appointment given.

Why does Vector Marketing guarantee pay?

Our product sells itself. We don’t need (or want) reps to pressure someone to buy from them, so we offer the base pay as a guaranteed incentive. Even if no sales are made at the time, representatives are still compensated for the time they spent demonstrating the knives.

Will I earn commission too?

Yes. While the guaranteed base pay fluctuates between $20-$28 per appointment, commission percentages are the same across the country. We offer 10 to 30% commission with bonus opportunities all the way up to 50%. The percentage you earn is based on your overall career sales. You can see how much you have to sell in order to get each percentage.
