Vector Marketing Success Story:
Kerry Oliver
Kerry (Ritchie) Oliver grew up thinking that she could only do
one thing – she competed in sports on a national level. But when
injury took that away it was the Vector experience that showed her
that, after injury, there was only one thing she couldn’t do – compete
in sports on a national level.
"Most of my life was sports. That’s what I succeeded in. Vector
Marketing gave me the confidence that I could succeed in something
else," Kerry said.
And Kerry did succeed selling Cutco. She made $18,000 in her first
summer and by doing so began to regain confidence in herself.
Meanwhile, others in Vector gained confidence in her. They saw her
as a leader. She assumed the role of teacher and began to coach
others. Within a year she was a branch manager. And all the while
she was learning new skills.
"What I learned with Vector Marketing is still helping me today.
Vector Marketing gave me a skill set that opened up a lot of doors
for me," Kerry said.
In fact, from Vector Kerry went directly to management with one
of the world’s largest oil companies. Ironic, because when she took
the position with Vector she made the choice to sell Cutco over
working at the local gas station. Choosing the Vector Marketing
experience continued to catapult her career.
Once again, the ‘teaching’ skills Kerry learned with Vector would
prove vital in her next move. She signed on for a job that required
her to lead executive teams in new directions without the benefit
of direct authority. And now?

Selling Cutco has come full circle for Kerry. She said she’s "selling" ideas as Director
of Purchasing and Logistics for Maple Leaf Foods.
Kerry has been racking up wins in the business world ever
since her Vector days. But it was those days with Vector where she discovered something critical to the winning process
– that she was, still, a winner.
