Vector Marketing Corporation
 

So What is Vector Marketing?

Vector Marketing Corporation, a subsidiary of Alcas Corporation, is the exclusive marketer of CUTCO Cutlery and accessories, which are sold directly to consumers via in-home demonstrations. With over 200 offices and 40,000 sales representatives throughout the US and Canada, Vector has enjoyed tremendous growth in recent years. In our pursuit “to become the largest, most respected and widely recognized cutlery company in the world,” we adhere to core values including honesty, integrity, providing opportunities for personal and professional growth, first-class customer service and philanthropic community contributions. Through the process of recruiting, and training its sales representatives, Vector Marketing drives the sales of all CUTCO products. Vector works hard to develop its sales force and motivate them to reach their full potential. The value the company places on education and personal growth is evident is its many scholarship opportunities for college students and its commitment, through corporate sponsorship, of academic organizations that share many of Vector Marketing’s values, including the American Marketing Association (AMA). Vector reps are not only taught the skills to be successful salespeople, but they develop professional and interpersonal skills that are of great value regardless of the path they choose to take after Vector. Vector Marketing prides itself on the fact that CUTCO can not be purchased in stores. Its method of direct selling has proven very effective for CUTCO as it gives the potential customer an opportunity to experience the knives in their very own kitchen (even side by side with their old knives).

Why Work for Vector?

Vector Marketing prides itself on three things:  Our people, our products and our programs. 
We believe in the unlimited power of the individual which is complemented by a general attitude of caring.  In addition to marketing the world’s finest cutlery, which is manufactured with superb materials and a Forever Guarantee, our sales training and customer service program – Skills for Life™ – has earned industry-wide recognition for excellence.  We strive for excellence in every aspect of our business and drive home the power of a positive attitude.

Through the Skills for Life™ program, sales representatives, who are independent contractors, are trained to give thorough and effective in-home demonstrations, while they learn quality sales techniques, public speaking skills, time-management, and the professionalism necessary to succeed in life.  Managers offer their sales representatives mentorship, camaraderie and guidance that can prove to be even more valuable than the money earned.  As an independent contractor, students set their own flexible schedules that can be worked around academic demands.  Even with this flexibility, representatives have the possibility of an unlimited income – something that has helped some students pay their own way through college.  The representatives’ take home pay is directly related to the effort that is put in – something that teaches motivation and provides a sense of immediate accomplishment.

While many college students struggle to get meaningful work experience, Vector Marketing’s sales reps are offered a real entrepreneurial opportunity – with the potential for real money.  To learn more, please visit www.vectorscholarships.com or contact the Academic Programs office at (800) 865-1575.
