Vector Marketing...what is it and is it a scam?

Vector/cutco marketing a scam?

• i just got a job with vector markerting and i thought it was funny how about 15 people showed up for the interview and only me and one other person got "accepted." the whole thing seems fishy to me and i have already completed one day of training, and according to what i have read on the internet this is a scam and im considering not going back tomorrow. i also think its funny how the "mangers" for vector got promoted to that level in just a year or less. its fishy, and my mother told me id be losing more money then i'd make. can anyone relate to this? is this true? anyone worked for vector that knows...??

• Answer:

  Vector Marketing/ Cutco is definitely not a scam, but for one thing it is not as fabulous as they make it seem and they slowly give you all the information over time. The thing that people don't like about Cutco is that it is a sales job, and you must find your own clients to sell to. Therefore, truthfully it is no different from selling something like Avon. A couple years ago they used to make you put down a deposit for what you what borrowing to show other people, but now most offices let you borrow it for free. It's not a scam but it is definitely for people who have the personality to get out there and constantly try to sell things. To answer your question it is not a scam, but it is definitely a forward independent sales job.
