"From spontaneity to discipline, allowing ignorance and understanding, Vector has offered several things through the years. From passion and drive, to freedom and relaxation, I've made my own decision how to utilize this opportunity. Whether cultivating business skills, or focusing on outside goals, Vector has been a vehicle that's allowed me to live the life I want to live. That opportunity is available to all those who understand that everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom... can you?"

"Vector Marketing has given me the abilities to experience the business world first hand and at the same time have a ton of fun all while making a very solid income. The beauty of Vector is I can set my own schedule, allowing me to work around my classes and other various activities that I'm connected to. The growth in my personal and professional life that I have experienced in the last couple of years with Vector has been truly amazing and I would highly recommend this job to anyone who is a college student.

"My experience with Vector has been the most exciting and rewarding experience of my life. The Vector opportunity is of unlimited value. I have enhanced my personal communication skills, organization, persistence and time management. In addition, I have learned the importance of goal setting and that through hard work, determination and belief in myself, I have been able to achieve things I never thought possible. I have learned to think big and to never give up if you want to excel in anything."

"Words cannot describe the amazing opportunity I have been blessed with. Life-long relationships with phenomenal people, confidence and courage that has spilled over into every aspect of life, and the development of critical skills are just a few outcomes from the Vector/Cutco experience. Working for this company has opened more doors for me than I could have ever imagined. Most importantly, I learned the value and importance of being purpose-driven. In a society that generally discourages risk-taking, Vector's positive atmosphere is a breath of fresh air. Anything is possible if you're committed. God wants the best for us. Don't settle for less."

"For me, Vector has been about the realization of my potential. I have never encountered a program in which your results directly reflect how hard you work. With Vector, you can achieve any goal you can imagine; all you have to do is follow the program and commit to the process. If you truly want it, you can have it. That, my friends, is the Vector opportunity."

"Vector has changed who I am and has helped me realize that I really don't know how much potential I actually have. If you would've asked me three months ago, I would have expected to have quit by now. I never know what to expect next. The amount of pride I feel knowing that I work for a company that offers so many opportunities fills me with excitement. I have proved that I have no limits and the only thing that can stop me is myself. I feel assured that for however long I continue to work with Vector, I will never limit myself in any aspect of my life. Vector encourages and recognizes every success, no matter how big or small..."

"Make sure you set goals for yourself. By forming a personal challenge, it makes meeting and exceeding the task a lot easier overall. Have fun on all of your appointments because if you're not, neither is your customer. Being your own boss in this company leaves it completely up to you as to how high you want to shoot."

"I feel extremely fortunate to have been introduced to Vector while I was attending school. I cannot imagine graduating without the knowledge and experience I have obtained from this company. I now know what it feels like to have a passion for what I am doing in my life, and the confidence to perform at it to the best of my abilities. I have learned not to settle for anything. Only the people that have ever sold Cutco know that it is not only about the product, it is about how the entire experience of pushing your own limits to sell the product leads us to be more passionate, happy, and productive human beings."

"Working with Vector has literally been a lifechanging experience for me. This summer, I really went for it, just to see what I was made of. I ended up discovering that what you put into this job truly is what you get out of it. It is amazing how this job facilitated such great change in me both personally and professionally. Vector enabled me to develop a tenacious work ethic, which will serve me well for many years to come. I also now possess an excellent ability to overcome obstacles and am able to proficiently problem solve with ease. My public speaking skills have even drastically improved and I also now have a ton of confidence, in and out of Vector."

Richmond VA

"Vector has changed the summer job experience for me entirely. I came home from school without a summer job set up and mentioned to my friends that I would work hard at a job that would pay me for how much work and time that I put into it. One of my friends told me about selling knives and how motivated he was working with Vector. Well, I was quick to overtake my buddy in career sales. I just let Vector take me for a ride. I learned the system well and ended up with incredible success. I have a wide range of customers now and I enjoy the success that I continue to have with Vector."
