Vector Marketing Success Story:
Corey Lilburn

Insurance agent Corey Lilburn believes his Vector Marketing experience gave him the tools to get from being a freshman in college to a professional working with a Fortune 100 company.

"It (Vector Marketing) provides life skills as much as job skills. We sell ourselves everyday, whether you’re a construction worker or a doctor, everyone needs these skills," he said.

Corey listed perseverance and discipline as just a few of the benefits to be had by going through the experience of selling Cutco. Gaining self-confidence and fully developing presentation and communications skills were other key life skills he identified.

"Many of my clients are doctors and lawyers. If I didn’t have communication skills they wouldn’t give me the time of day," he said.

So how did Corey get from college to well-paid, well-respected professional? No surprise, he interviewed. Something he said most people don’t do well. But for him it was his Vector experience that not only made him stand out from the pack of candidates, but offered him choice in the matter.

"A job recruiter sent me to a half dozen companies and they all offered me either a second interview or the position. Then I was able to choose the one I was most comfortable with," he said.

So how can you go from college to the career of your choice? Corey said take the Vector plunge and sell Cutco. He added that you may have to go it alone without full parental support and that you may even take some razzing from kids at school, but it’s worth it. His advice.

"Show Cutco to everyone you know – the initial practice period is critically important."

And hang in there, Corey said, because he believes the Vector experience has so much to offer anyone. The beauty of Vector is that you don’t have to start with experience. But, he added, important job experience is exactly what you will end up with.

Corey still uses the skills he gained with Vector today. Skills he expects will serve him for a lifetime.
