Yep its official I will be working to a company called Vector who helps market the Brand Cutco. This brand produces Cutlery/knives. I will be a sales person for them. It has been quite a while since I started looking for a job and this one is awesome. The money that I can make is real good to.

I have a set of Cutco knives. They're pretty nice.

I went to one of their hiring presentations back in the early 90's while in college. I hope it works out for you. Good luck.

Cutco is still around? Wow.

I seem to recall that you're not an "employee" but rather an independent contractor, solely on commission. You also have to purchase the sales kit and that somewhat explains the premium price for stamped steel blades.

Yup, that's why it didn't work for me. I didn't have the upfront money as a college student.

What, Amway wasn't hiring?

I just remembered something else. Did Vector Marketing tell you that they don't just sell Cutco knives? They also have, or at least used to have, a sportswear line (sweat clothes and starter suits, etc.).

When I told them I couldn't afford the sales kit price, they told me about the less expensive sales kit for the sportswear stuff.

I don't think there was a MLM component to Cutco. Their recruitment was to get kids to sell; but no one ever makes a career out of selling knives.

BoomintheTrunk, I'm very happy for you. I'm sure you will do well in this venture, please let us know how it goes.

I'm trying to picture Homie the Clown showing up at my door on a cold sales call and what my reaction would be (it would not involve a financial transaction, of that I am sure). Buena suerte.

well Vector has seemed to changed from what i have read in those few articles talked about earlier. This is the way it works. I will get payed for every appointment that i attend making $17.25 per appointment. I have the opportunity to make commission on the appointment only if i sell a certain amount(talk about later). As for buying the starter kit, you can lease one from them for a one time fully refundable price of $134. i can buy the kit for 70% off if i choose to. The kit is a total of $517. Ok here is what my commission is based off.

from $0-$1k dollars in sales I will make 10% of sales.

$1k-$3k I will make 15% in sales,

$3k-$6k I will make 20% in sales,

$6k-$10k I will make 25% in sales,

$10k-$30k I will make 30% in sales.

Ok what i have showed you is hoe much i can make in commission. Once i reach the $1k I will always make 15% in commission, once i reach $3k I will always make 20% in commission and so on. So the longer I stay with them the more I can make in Commission. I myself live in a higher income area so selling this cutlery should not be a problem money wise. Most of the people that i know have said that they would love to buy this stuff and are fully aware of the cost involved with Cutco Cutlery.

And for going home to home selling this stuff that is not the way it is done. I get called from word of mouth advertisement. I dont call people unless i have already talked to them and have said it was alright to do so.

Good luck with that, Boom. I had a coworker in my last job whose daughter did that. She made a LOT of money. I think it's like a lot of things. You get out of it proportionately to what you put into it. Dealing with people like that will also tech you a LOT about people. Learning stuff like that is never a waste of time.
