Vector Marketing Success Story:
Mike Meditz

Mike Meditz, a systems engineer with a communications company in California, believes much of his business success today stems from his experience selling Cutco cutlery as a college student.

Mike's experience began when he saw an advertisement. He inquired about the opportunity on the flyer and began selling knives in his first semester of college. At the time, Mike was a typical struggling college student, so the potential for earning income with Vector really caught his eye, but his parents "liked the fact that he was at least excited about something." As Mike's experience with Vector continued, his family began to share in his excitement. They went to conferences and, according to Mike, say that the Vector experience is, "The best thing he could have ever done for himself in college." Mike agrees.

Mike will tell you, "I was just an average sales guy that did seven appointments a weekend - I never worked during the week." But this "average sales guy" ran three branch offices that were in the national top 20 three summers in a row. Mike liked selling Cutco through Vector Marketing because he enjoyed being around people who were positive and excited about life.

Mike says his business experience with Vector helps him today. Public speaking and time management skills and the ability to approach strangers are big benefits he gained from his time with Vector. "And the people skills," Mike proclaims, "I learned a lot about building friendships and respect – people have to trust you and you need to know how to give them self-confidence." Currently Mike finds his customers need him to be responsive, hard-working and to follow through - all things he says he learned selling Cutco.
