Kitchen Products Sales Representative

Vector Marketing is actively interviewing candidates for part-time sales representative positions. Our representatives focus on customer service and meet with customers in calm, one-on-one appointments to present Cutco products. We offer a minimum base pay so our reps are not pressured to make immediate sales. Instead, the emphasis is placed on delivering a positive customer experience. We believe the quality of our products naturally supports the sales process. Apply now to interview within the week.

What We Offer:

Commission earnings are available based on performance. Representatives have the chance to earn additional income while still receiving pay during slower weeks. Weekly compensation is calculated based on either base pay or commission, whichever is greater.

We provide strong training before reps begin working, along with continuous guidance and additional training opportunities as they gain experience.

Our product selection includes Cutco kitchen tools and some gardening products. No prior experience with the products or sales is required.

Flexible scheduling allows reps to set their own weekly availability around school, internships, holidays, full-time work, exams, or family obligations.

Following training, representatives work within their local area. Office-based meetings and training sessions are part of the role.

There is room for advancement, including opportunities to move into long-term sales positions or management roles, even for those who start part-time.

What We Require:

Enjoy interacting with people
Must be 17 or 18 years old and a high school graduate
Conditions apply
Willing to learn and use new skills
Available to interview within 5 to 7 days

What Makes a Good Candidate:

This entry-level opportunity is ideal for individuals seeking additional income alongside an existing job. Whether you work in retail, food service, customer service, or another role, our scheduling flexibility can work with your availability. Students looking for winter break work or individuals needing adaptable hours are encouraged to apply. Educational background is not a requirement, as training is provided to help you succeed. Applicants of all ages and experience levels are welcome.

Those who perform well in this role often come from diverse work backgrounds, including customer service, warehouse positions, restaurant work, administrative roles, retail, and communications.

Our training is designed to be thorough and supportive, allowing individuals with experience as baristas, line cooks, cashiers, or stockers to succeed.

WORK FOR STUDENTS

We are one of the largest student recruiters in the nation.

85% of our sales reps are students.

Why Students?

We are one of the largest student recruiters in the country, and with good reason:

  • Our schedules are flexible
  • Sales experience helps in any field of study
  • Getting paid weekly is awesome when you're on a college budget

Flexible Schedules

Since our sales reps are independent contractors, your work schedule is entirely up to you. Whether you want to schedule five appointments in one day or just a couple in one week - it's your choice.

Many of our sales reps work part-time during the school year and full-time during the summer or winter break, but whenever you're able to work, we'll provide you with the training and support you need to successfully sell Cutco®.

Not a student? No worries! Some of our reps are just looking for an opportunity to make up for a lack of hours at another job.

Professional Training

New sales representatives participate in a two or three-day training session at their local office. While training is unpaid, most participants consider it to be a worthwhile experience and a productive use of their time. Basically, it'll teach you how to sell Cutco®. Our experienced managers will show you things like business strategies, demonstration techniques, and what you can look forward to as a Cutco sales rep.

Don't worry about prior experience - whether you're a sales pro or you're just starting your first job, we'll teach you everything you need to know!

We value learning. One of the ways we encourage our reps to build upon their Cutco skills is to make the most of our year-round training resources. You'll have an opportunity to participate in team meetings, attend regional conferences, and regularly meet with your local manager.

All-American Scholarships

Every year, we give away a total of $40,000 to full-time undergraduate students who excel at selling Cutco®. In the fall and spring, the top 25 students qualify, and during the summer it's awarded to the top 50.

Don't worry, no essay is required. But, it takes a ton of hard work and persistence to earn this.

If you feel this role would be a good match, complete the contact form and a receptionist will contact you by text to arrange an interview with a manager.
