Other Jobs To Apply

Vector Marketing’s entry level sales positions provide valuable real-world work experience and are a strong addition to any resume. With a busy year ahead, you could benefit from a part-time position that offers weekly pay and a flexible schedule.

Primary responsibilities include selling our Cutco products used in the home, primarily focused on kitchen items as well as some gardening tools, answering customer questions, and placing orders. Previous sales or work experience is not required. Representatives enjoy the flexibility to set their own schedules.

Position Details:

  • Excellent pay – We offer a commission structure based on performance. There is an opportunity to earn more, while still having a fallback option to ensure income even during an off week. Representatives are paid weekly.
  • Solid training – We have been training individuals to succeed for over 40 years. Even if someone chooses not to stay long term, the sales, networking, and communication skills they develop are valuable in any field. Since most representatives start with no experience, they appreciate beginning with people they know and building referrals through trusted connections.
  • Flexible scheduling – We assist our representatives in creating a schedule that works best for them. Some work as much as possible, some choose a part-time schedule, while others look for flexible work around other commitments such as full-time jobs, internships, sports, classes, or family responsibilities.
  • Location – Sales representatives work locally after completing training. Meetings and training sessions are usually held in the office.
  • Advancement – Representatives who stay long term, even part time, have opportunities to pursue different paths, including management and professional sales roles.

Basic Requirements:

  • Enjoy working with people
  • At least 18 years old, or 17 and a high school graduate
  • Conditions apply
  • Able to start within the next 7–10 days
  • Willing to learn and apply new skills

Who would do well:

Since the role involves working with people, we have seen strong success with representatives who have experience in admin, retail, fast food, cashiering, administrative assistant roles, receptionist duties, office work, serving, landscaping, and many other fields. Some have had no prior work experience. We welcome applicants with a positive attitude who enjoy working with others.

This entry level sales position is a great fit for individuals looking to work around their schedule. Whether you are seeking immediate work or flexible part-time opportunities, this role can adapt to your needs.

If you believe you would be a good fit for our sales team, complete the contact information and a receptionist will send you a text to schedule a virtual interview with a manager. We encourage applicants of all ages and experience levels, as we do not discriminate based on age.

Work should be fun.

What's It Like?

So, what's it like to actually be a Cutco representative?

While each day is different, daily activities might include:

  • Scheduling appointments with potential customers
  • Presenting Cutco products through virtual appointments
  • Submitting their orders online and through our app
  • Reviewing sales performance with their manager
  • Attending an optional weekly Zoom meeting

How We Work

Our sales representatives meet one-on-one with potential customers through in home or virtual appointments. The sales rep's job is to show Cutco and help those customers find the perfect set that fits their needs.

Most people buy, but some don't. And, that's okay.

We give our sales reps a guaranteed base pay each time they show Cutco to a qualified potential customer whether the customer buys or not.

There's a reason why we pay our reps regardless of sales results. We don't want a sales rep to ever feel pressure to make a sale in any way that's pushy with a customer. We think Cutco is pretty awesome and want customers to buy it because they love it.

How can we pay people even if they don't make a sale? Frankly, most people who see Cutco buy something, so we can afford to create this safety net for our reps.

Because our reps are independent contractors, they enjoy real flexibility and control over their own schedules. They set their own appointments based on their availability day-by-day.

Our sales reps pride themselves in providing ridiculously awesome customer service and enjoy representing a truly incredible (and useful) product.

And, it works. Over 15 million homes in North America alone have Cutco in their kitchen.
