"The Vector opportunity gives you a chance to prove your talents to yourself and the world. It offers you the support and training to develop, focus, and expand your business and marketing acumen, and it pays you handsomely for the privilege. I want to thank the many Vector people, those who have become my friends and those I do not even know, as well as my family for offering their wholehearted support for my success. Thank you, God, for my many blessings."

Pasadena

Fuller Theological Seminary

"The Vector experience makes me a better person. It forces me to manage my time and emotions better and think more critically about what I want in life. That I get paid for this is simply amazing. I can only compare the Vector experience to being a part of a championship sports team, orchestra or debate club. Any championship organization forces you to become a better person but few of them pay you along the way."

Lafayette

University of Louisiana Lafayette

"Through the Vector opportunity, I learned my true potential. My managers and fellow reps motivated me to think big and strive for my goals. By selling CUTCO, I acquired valuable attributes such as leadership, communication skills and self-discipline. These assets helped me achieve a 3.75 GPA while also being a member of UL's track team."

DeAnza College

"I've been successful this campaign not just because of my results but also because of what I learned in the process. Vector has been the catalyst for me to strive for knowledge and constant improvement. I wouldn't have reached where I am now without help from my managers. The only way for me to repay them for what they taught me is to share the knowledge and keep succeeding."

My flexible schedule helps me focus on getting my education and being able to do so without incurring debt. The Vector program has inspired me to think bigger about my goals in life. The Vector opportunity helps you gain professional business skills as well as a great income."

Walnut

"Three years ago I just graduated from high school and thought that I was ready to take on the world. What I didn't realize was that every job I tried for required experience I did not have. Luckily I found Vector. Initially, all I wanted to do was make lots of money, but I quickly learned that what I could gain from this opportunity was more than I could ever dream: interpersonal communication skills, time management skills and sales experience. I finally found the experience people were telling me about."

Pasadena

California State University-Pomona

"I never imagined that working with Vector could change my life. A few years ago, I never would have thought that I would be selling knives to help pay for my college expenses. The people I have met and the experiences I've had have been amazing. The skills I have learned while working with Vector have not only helped me with selling but in life. I know that I am more equipped and prepared for the future because of the Vector experience."

West Denver
Southwest Region
Univrsity of Colorado at Denver

"Vector has given me so much: an opportunity to succeed without limitations, a great support system, increased confidence in talking and dealing with people, and great life skills. Who would have thought you could gain so much knowledge and make so much money for meeting new people and playing with knives."

Tyler
Southwest Region
University of Texas at Tyler

"Working with Vector has been an eye-opening experience. I have developed friendships and networked with people I never would have met otherwise. I have come to the same conclusion many others have come to: The place you work is only as good as the people you are surrounded by. With Vector I have found a great place to work. The depth of business and sales skills gained cannot be found anywhere else. Vector has opened my eyes to what I can accomplish. Because of Vector, I am a better person."
