" That’s really the first, most important thing I learned. Confidence is key."


Vector Marketing Success Story:
Joe Dominick

Joe Dominick said he got to where he is today because of the strong start he had in the business world selling CUTCO Cutlery while a student at Western Maryland College.

Working as a Sales Rep, Branch Manager and a Sales Manager for three summers, the 22-year-old Baltimore, Md., man said he developed his business savvy, learned goal-setting and communication skills and, most importantly, gained the confidence it took to get in on a business that is expected to bring in $1.5 million in 2004 – its second year of operation.

“That’s really the first, most important thing I learned. Confidence is key,” he said. Being a successful Branch Manager (#2 in the division one summer) “gave me a lot of confidence.”

So, when Joe’s college friends came to him with the offer of getting involved in their corporation, Nustin Industries LLC, parent company of t-shirt broker Mr. Merch Graphics, he jumped on the offer. The “great start” Joe got selling CUTCO through Vector Marketing helped him think big when thinking big was exactly what an upstart business like Mr. Merch Graphics needed.

“My friends had a great system set up for the business but they weren’t thinking as big as I was,” he said. A few great ideas and about a year later, Mr. Merch Graphics is the preferred t-shirt vendor for Virginia Tech and expects to bring in $1.5 million this year.

Joe started selling CUTCO after his freshman year at Western Maryland. Soon he’ll be graduating from the University of Phoenix and has been accepted into Loyola’s MBA program where he’ll be a part-time student.

Joe believes that selling CUTCO opened doors that would not have been open to him otherwise.

“I was getting job offers from places that listed qualifications I didn’t have, but they decided to look past that because of my CUTCO experience,” he said. “CUTCO opened up other opportunities that helped me grow as a sales person. It’s a great a place to start.”

While he’s no longer selling CUTCO, Joe still considers himself a CUTCO guy. He “recruits” people for the job and recommends it to anyone looking to develop a strong personal and professional foundation.
