Vector Marketing Success Story:
Fi Mazanke
It’s hard to comprehend that one small act can change the course
of a person’s life, but that’s just how leadership coach Fi Mazanke
feels about a phone call she made to a CUTCO office in 1984.
It was that brief call and what happened next that helped her develop
the strong groundwork she builds her life upon today, she said.
As a CUTCO sales rep and assistant office manager she set appointments,
met with potential customers, generated referrals and ran an office.
Those responsibilities helped her improve her communication skills,
become a more confident woman and face the challenges that held
success at bay.
"With Vector I saw so many skills and values that laid the foundation
for my life," Fi said. "It was my experience with CUTCO that gave
me the opportunity to really face my fears that may have been a
roadblock to creating success."
A 19-year-old dietetics major at Eastern Illinois University, Fi
started as a sales rep for Brekmar Corp., a CUTCO distributor that
merged with the Vector
Marketing Corp. in 1986. She was promoted to assistant office
manager, district manager, then to sales promotion manager in the
Central Region office. Lastly she was Vector’s first leadership
coach, a concept she introduced to the company in 1999.
Today a wife and mother of two, Fi has been a running her own coaching
business, Finomenal Leadership in St. Charles, Ill., since 2002.
As a coach she said she helps people live their dreams by teaching
them to overcome the roadblocks preventing them from being successful.
