Vector Marketing Success Story:
Paulette Tucciarone

When Paulette Tucciarone graduates medical school in 2004 it’s her Vector Marketing experience that has fully prepared her to accept the responsibility of the doctors’ Hippocratic oath.

"It (Vector Marketing) inspired me to consider ethics in my life, long-term goal planning, the power of positive thinking and the ability you have to impact and help others," Paulette said.

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences student said it’s the Vector experience that will give her an edge as a doctor. She attributes her Vector Marketing experience with giving her the ability to talk with patients confidently and clearly and communicate her plan for their health care to their satisfaction.

"It’s clear how it (Vector Marketing) has helped me – I think about that all the time," she said.

In addition to delivering on communication and customer service skills, Paulette also recognized that selling Cutco knives full-time for a year as a sophomore in college offered her a unique career opportunity. At 19 she worked side-by-side with bright polished professionals and she didn’t have to wait until mid-life to "earn" that right.

"I have an edge because I’ve been there. I did it early," she said. Paulette said that not only were these professionals top-notch, but they were caring and encouraging. All ideals she plans to carry with her in her work as a doctor.
