notice NOBODY mentioned missing a paycheck on this thread til then? HUGE RED FLAG RIGHT THERE, KIDDIES! Apparently, even getting your paycheck for the stuff you actually DID manage to do for them is gonna be a hassle.

yeah, that's how business works. Only sale to those you know o_0 Where exactly did you get that financial model from? Tyrone on 14th Street SE, I'm betting LoLz

Whelp, I'd have posters put up around town and prolly would put word out on the net - so even MORE ppl would show......................but that's just me LoLz. Dont think businesses do that "advertising" thing anymore, do they? o_0

they will also tell you that it's better to have a stable, STEADY income if you have committments you yourself need to pay off.
KIDS, DO NOT TAKE THIS JOB IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A "JOB"
Vector is cool if you want to sharpen yr sales skills...........................but NO , this is NOT a "job", it is a set-up for you to be a contractor for this company and sale their crap at YOUR expense, not theirs. They make $$$$ off yr ass, not theirs.
Not a scam, per se - they are a "legit" company, same as Kirby Vacuums. But You dont want to be the guy/gal at the bottom of that barrel unless you have a LOT of ppl with disposable income.
I will say that
IF you DO have connections, or if you are a smooth talker (can sale ice to eskimos, that sorta person) - you can make out like a bandit doing this, no joke. The knives are legit good, not crappy knives at all. Overpriced? Sure. But they work as advertized, I will give them that :)
But yeah, kids - dont take this job thinking it's a REAL job. It's not. It's a fly-by-nite job that you wont be doing in a year, ok? It's hard work, you are going to hear "NO" and "GO AWAY" a lot, and there are a TON of better, more stable paying jobs out there for you.
Again, if you want to sharpen yr sales skills, then THIS IS THE JOB FOR YOU!!!!
But if yr looking for a steady paycheck, THIS AINT IT! RUN AWAY!
hope that helps you (and other kids like you), OP
Thank you, Stephanie...............for the humour, that is :)
