The Vector Marketing Opportunity
Vector
Marketing offers college and university students exceptional
career opportunities in sales and sales management. At the heart
of our business is the belief that in order to be successful, we
must first help others to succeed. A position with Vector Marketing
is more than just your typical college job. At Vector, we’re in
the business of building “Skills for Life.”
Corporate executives agree that there are some
common traits that lead to success in any career. Solid
communication skills. Leadership abilities. Learning to be a team
player. Setting goals and following a plan to accomplish them.
Strong interpersonal skills. Developing a comfortable presentation
style. These are just some of the skills a Vector experience
provides.
A sales career can be both challenging and rewarding. It’s also
one of the surest ways into the CEO’s office (nearly 40% of today’s
CEO’s started in sales). In fact, sales experience can contribute
to success in a wide array of professions. Regardless of career
goals, Vector Marketing representatives find they are more prepared
for life after college—professionally, financially, and personally
than the majority of their peers. There’s a world of opportunity
out there and Vector can help open the door.
“My Vector experience has always meant so much to me.
Nearly every day, I can identify a skill I currently employ that
has its roots in my Vector experience, whether that be public
speaking, planning budgets, schedules and agendas or most
importantly, selling my ideas to those around me. Professionalism,
eloquence, and unique experience do not come with age; they come
with opportunity and work.”

People
Why are so many students attracted to the Vector
Marketing opportunity? Perhaps it’s our focus on people. Vector
Marketing follows a strict “promote from within” policy, meaning
that all of our office managers started as sales reps themselves.
This background provides the field experience and professional insight
needed to develop talents in others. We remember what it was like
to juggle work around classes, exams and extracurricular activities,
and we’ve designed our business to accommodate flexible schedules.
We also offer students a chance to advance at their own pace, with
the possibility of several promotions before graduation. Most importantly,
our management team provides the on-going training, personal attention,
and support that means so much to young people.
Products
Vector Marketing matches its world-class training
with Cutco Cutlery, the world’s finest cutlery, and home products.
Manufactured in Olean, NY, by master craftsmen, Cutco products carry
a “Forever Guarantee,” that protects the consumer’s investment for
a lifetime.
Put solid training together with an unparalleled product, and you
have a sales program that works. The result is exceptional growth
and profitability. In 2007, Vector Marketing enjoyed annual sales exceeding $197 million in Cutco products to both new and existing
customers. In fact, our customers, more than 15 million of them,
are so loyal and pleased with Cutco’s value that nearly all Cutco
business is done on a referral basis.
“As a Vector Intern, I developed time management and
organizational skills that really helped me with my schoolwork. I
also got hands-on experience with public speaking and improved my
interpersonal communications skills. In addition to the financial
rewards
of the position, Vector provides its interns with the
types of experience it takes to succeed in today’s business
world.”

Programs
An important key to Vector Marketing’s growth over the last
decade is the strength of our training programs. Designed especially
for people who may have limited work experience, Vector Marketing’s
training focuses on the basics: product knowledge, building
rapport and developing a comfortable presentation style. Through
a combination of classroom training, field training with experienced
reps, and attendance at regional conferences, Vector representatives
are well prepared to have a successful work experience.
The Management Development Program
Vector Marketing’s advancement program offers individuals with strong
performance and interpersonal skills the chance to participate in
our Management Development Program. Often combined with an academic
internship, this path allows students to assume management roles
within the organization prior to graduation. These positions offer
a relatively risk-free chance for a young person to evaluate their
interest in the career, and in our organization.
At the same time, we are able to select the best from this group
for permanent career positions with Vector Marketing after graduation.

program, along with position descriptions and learning outcomes,
