Vector Marketing Scam or Not? 07/14/2009
![]() You probably just heard about Vector Marketing and you're wanting to know if it's a scam or not. Well, let me share with you my experience with this company and maybe afterward you can make an informed decision about weather or not you want to make the trip to that interview. My interview with Vector Marketing I was first introduced to Vector Marketing a while back when I was job hunting online. I was in desperate need for a job and needed to quickly a way to make some income so I could keep up with my bills. I found Vector on Snagajob.com (I'm sure you probably found them on a similar site). What did I learn about Vector Marketing? So, after 90 agonizing restless minutes with the head of the local Vector Marketing branch, I learned that there were some VERY interesting facts about this company that weren't shared with me before the interview. Vector Marketing Secret #1 - When I first seen their advertisement on Snagajob.com I thought what any other person would think, that they were a regular company looking to hire regular employees. However, Vector Marketing is a marketing company for CUTCO knives/kitchen ware. To put it simply, they market and sell culinary untentials. What does that mean? Vector Marketing Secret #2 - As I mentioned my first impression of vector online was that they are looking to hire regular employees. In fact, since they are a marketing company for CUTCO, they're looking to bring on independent reps to market and sell their products for them. Now, you may or may not be familiar with the above terminology, but just in case your not "independent reps" (or representatives) are usually persons who join a company as an independent distributor, purchase an portion of the companies inventory and distribute and market the companies product by means of talking to people you know locally i.e. (friends and/or family) Vector Marketing Secret #3 - One of the questions that probably went through your mind is "I wonder how much the pay is"? That's a good question. Vector has what they call a guaranteed base pay and incentive payment plan. That means that you don't get paid by the hour, nor do you get paid off of commissions, nor do you get paid by salary; you get paid on a per appointment basis. So let's look at it like this, Vector Marketing pays $13/per appointment that you set up + incentives if you make a sale. Now let me stop right here for a second. To understand the way Vector pays their representatives you need to understand the way vector's business model is set up. CommentsLeave a Reply |
