Vector connect cutco representative.
Been a while since i posted on here but thought id share some experience.
If you ever run into vector connect, You really need to think about what your about to do.
I worked for vector connect as a cutco representative for about a year. I was one of their star salesman, a group leader who helped other people who were starting out. There first thing you may want to think about is do you really want to seel something expensive to the people you knor because that is the way you are going to start off. They are going to tell you its not door to door but that all depends on the way you look at it. You will be driving door to door if you have a car(they like to hire college/ high school students). By the way cutco is a line of knives and knives accessories. The knives are really nice and have a good guarrantee. The job is hard, for most peolple because it involves calling people and arranging appointments. The easiest thing about working their is actually selling the stuff. Making the appointments with the customers is hard. They have some guidelines that you might want to follow but sometimes things get weird, so I usually mentioned that i was a friend of their friend who refered me. Usually they will call and confirm and get an appointment with me. Usually the customer would forget about the appointment but once in their house if you follow the book they LEND you then you will be okay. about 90% of the time i sold something and people would thank me. Imagine poeople paying hundreds to thousands of dollars for knives then thanking you. Most of my customers who bought something thanked me for selling them the knives and i dont think they were being sarcastic. THere were even some whose wives had cut themselves, but their tone of voice just sounded as if they liked the knives even better. But anyways most of the people i have seen going into this type of business usually ends up leaving within a week. There is a lot of time to be dedicated to and if you can then maybe this job is not for you. On some days my manager had some of the workers volunteer on passing out flyers for new recruits. although we dont get paid for it, it was actually( running away from mall cops and loitering someones car with flyers, usually the expensive ones, hahahah), But we always gathered somewhere for some food so it was a great way to make friends. I honestly would not want to work for them again because it is hard work and they do have a lot of rules on rogue sellers. I would reccoment this job if you want to have experience for future jobs because it give out a variety of something to boast about. It has customer service, being able to use the phone, setting up appointments, filing orders, even training. I took out some of the other employees and taught them how to sell products to the clients. Usually you are more likely to seel to someone who already owns cutco then to someone who doesnt. HMM>. i dont know if i am convincing, defering or boring you from vector connect.
Ive only had one other job other than this and that was being a math tutor, which was harder than this job. Just remember if you plan on doing this then there is a lot of memorizing to do.
