Vector is a scam, they are misleading, tell you to lie, and they tell you that you will make a bunch of money but the job is commission only, plus they make you pay out of your own pocket for your own set of knives for demonstration. They target college kids and will basically hire anyone and they make you feel good about yourself just so you will be a salesman for them
Just google the company and you will read hundreds of pages of scams Vector has pulled
Hmm..well I guess your office has more fun than the one I used to work at. I'm just curious, are these pictures of entire office events, or is this just a group of FSM's/Assistant Managers?
I don't understand the beer pong/partying pictures. I doubt these Vector people actually get together to do that, which means whoever made the collage just randomly threw them in there to make it seem more appealing than it is.
Vector is Vector, my office my district manager told us about the hard work we would need to do, "the lazy guy," i.e. me, xD, would have a hard time living to the claims my boss claims, but i see people everyday in the office doing it for real, succeeding, making money, and networking their asses off. work hard, get somewhere, be lazy, have a hard time...lol
I have no problem with vector or their marketing practices but...
In order to be successful, you have to know people who have money who know people who have money who know people who have money until you you find some who will spend a lot of money on knives.
I work in San Bernardino, one of the ghetto-ist places in the US...I also sold 46k this summer...I also made over 20k...I don't see rich folks, trust me -_-
that's not nice of you, especially if you're representing cutco(or vector), by making comments like that doesnt make you're company look good and i been in training for three days and im quiting because i dont like what the sales tactics are about... cutco may be for you, but not for me.
I'm in the Oak Brooke Office, Illinois with Danny.
Well i don't think I paid attention to the tactics, b/c i just talk about my need for money for college and helping out my parents with their "situation."
what sales tactics? you go into people's house's to sharpen their knives and they buy 2k+ worth of stuff, then you make 1k on top of that...that was my summer as a 19year old undergraduate from UCSD...notice how I chose to sell knives rather than intern with any company I wanted...legit income.
Why can't you weirdos just go back to your job and let this person enjoy putting up their pictures? I don't go to your job and tell you that your companies hamburgers are not real meat. I could never work in fast food in a million years, but just because I don't like it, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it. YOU NEED TO FIND A HOBBY...
Listen buddy- the marketing strategy of Vector depends on decieving it's 'worker bees' into thinking they're selling a top of the line product, when that is not the case at all! They start out by getting them to sell to their families and friends, and only the very strong salespeople make it past that because it's not easy to sell. There's nothing wrong with that in itself- BUT! Vector makes it look so easy, and takes advantage of thousands of college students.
Haha! Says the guy scamming people into buying shitty steel with shitty plastic handles. You're an absolutely precious darling baby boy! Now get some experience handling real steel and come back to me.
If even half the people you demonstrated to could be assed to sharpen their knives, you wouldn't have a market to scam.
real steel? you're a fucking consumer, not a supplier. don't even try to act like you know what you're talking about. I'm a fucking engineer who's actually been to the factory in Olean and analyzed all the different steps and processes they use to make the product. just because you read some shit on the internet doesn't mean your a wiki of knives
You're full ofshit. 440a is the shittiest steel you can use in kitchen cutlery and your double d edge is a fucking SERRATED blade. Since you've supposedly been to the factory then you know that they use shitty stamped steel. You want to use a stamped blade that's actually worth the price of admission? Then get a Victorinox Forschner knife. 25 bucks out the door and worlds better than the shit you're selling. The only thing you're an engineer of is your boyfriend's "caboose". Fuck off numb nuts.
Yes, my wikipedia skills. It's called the knife drawer in my kitchen.
You're awful fired up over a bunch of over-priced shitty knives. You're succumbing to the same sales tactics you were brainwashed into using on poor old ladies. Maybe you're suffering from a touch of Stockholm Syndrome from when they locked you inside their fly-by-night rent-an-office to tell you about an amazing new money-making opportunity for college students! No experience required!
well with a paycheck like mine, there's no reason not to be fired up.
my customers are actually, for the most part when I'm in the San Diego area, successful and well-educated people who are probably way better than you in all aspects of life. None are over 55 actually.
Fly by night? My office has been in the same place for nearly a decade.
From what you're saying, I can tell you were one of those chumps who weren't good enough to do something as easy as selling knives. Life fail. Homo.
Oh shit! Not you're paycheck! That's an infallible argument right there. You just convinced me! You think you can impress me with your Encyclopedia Dramatica knowledge?
Do you even understand the economics behind Vector? Do you understand HOW you are able to be payed so much? It's because the cost to produce the knives you sell is so incredibly low and the markup you throw onto the customer is obscenely high. You show them a few bs demos and nonsense pseudo-science-they'd feel stupid not to buy!
But considering the fact that you've completely ignored all my bulletproof arguments with how great your customers are because you can easily fool them into buying junk and how big your supposed paycheck is, I can see you're too far gone to help. You may be a good bullshitter to your knife buying customers but I see through you and you can't handle it. Peace.
Here's a question for you before you cry yourself to sleep: Do the people who you bought your cutlery from give a fuck about you? Do they sharpen your knives for you IN YOUR KITCHEN for FREE? Do they guarantee your stuff so if anything break, chips, cracks, etc, they'll replace it for free? I think not. This is why my customers are smart to buy Cutco, because they're wise investors. They understand the concept of value.
yeah, scam, that's exactly why I made 20k this past summer. that's exactly why an electrical engineering from UCSD who has more credibility than most people is doing this job. think hard about why someone would still be doing this job for 2 years when they clearly have many options open to them.
Wrong bud. If you put it in a store without a pushy and/or charming salesperson then you have to compete with better quality items at lower prices. When people compare for themselves, they will buy the better value. i.e. NOT Cutco. It's the same bullshit that Bose pulls. Overpriced and underperforming? Just sell your shit in a separate section of the store. Or in Cutco's case, door to door. Divide and conquer! If Cutco sold in stores, there wouldn't be 1/10th of the markup there is now.
Way to completely ignore my question that completely discredits your statements.
Have you seen some of the best reps? They are definitely not pushy, nor are they charming for that matter.
When they compare for themselves? When's the last time you saw someone being allowed to open up the knife sets and "compare" them. That's why we compare them in home, against their heckels, shun, etc. This way they actually get a better feel rather than having a guy at william sonoma who doesn't know shit.
And do you have any idea how markup works? You obvious are not well-educated and have not taken any real economic courses. Markup drives the price level up and lowers wage. The variable costs of having an indep rep is significantly lower than that of selling ANYTHING in a store. There's the fixed costs of rent, wage, misc expenses, insurance, and TONS of inventory costs. You're saying that it's gonna be CHEAPER to sell in stores? Go get some education and then talk about economics theory with me
Considering most of the markup of the knives goes to the reps wage, then yes.
I love how can't even argue within the boundaries of common sense and logic. You have to use the same nonsensical bs that's drilled into your head by your overlords. You and your customers wouldn't know a quality knife if it impaled your gullet. You keep the prices artificially higher by controlling the inventory and selling door to door. Put them on a shelf in a store and they will collect dust.
Yeah, economic theory is nonsensical to the uneducated. And yet you still do not understand the concept that the price is for more than just the knives. It is an investment, which pays for infinite coverage and service which extends to anyone who owns the knives. This means that people, especially some customers I've met in the past, can pass down their knives to the next generation and even exchange for newer models for free.
Yeah yeah and they beknight their progeny and slay dragons. Whatever. You're too far gone to be helped. You're as bad as the evangelists who blindly regurgitate the same nonsensical dogma in the face of incontrovertible evidence.
It's all good man. It's tough to make an intelligent rebuttal to an irrefutable statement about a subject foreign to you. I accept your white flag.
Just believe what you want to believe, but if you ever consider accepting the truth, let me know.
In the meantime, I suggest finding religion, preferably a Christian one. It'll bring more purpose and is more meaningful than arguing about kitchen knives.
But I don't blame you. Ignorance is uncontrollable. Some of us are just endowed with more wisdom, potential, and human capital.
And you keep assuming we sell them door to door. I've sold over 70k of Cutco and NOT ONCE did I sell door-to-door. I'm don't need to take such desperate measures because everyone I meet is someone I've been personally introduced to by my clients. People don't talk to their friends about me just because I'm a nice guy, it's conviction in the product itself.
looks like your summer with vector kicked ass! Awesome! :) Oh and we make flowers, pac mans, and texas longhorns with the pennies. That's about all i do with them that is.
im from the Fremont branch office im an advisor right now...working up to FSM..im on Key Staff tho...pretty cool stuff. We are currently the #3 branch office in the nation which is extremely cool! What about u?
oakbrook office , Had the greatest district manager, turned division manager last year before the sumr was out JUSTIN DONALD. We used to be the #1 office in the region that sumr, we opened the office back up with Chanda Mehta the new DM , and it started as ME , Allan Marcial and Omayah Atassi , John Marcial and we really went crazy on A Day and turned the office into a huge one , still have yet to achieve selling an ULTIMATE
those are not easy to sell...i have not sold one either. :) Im planning on going thru management training over the school year and AM my next summer. :)
