Vector Marketing is a multi-level marketing group. Commissions start at 10%, increasing in 5%-per-promotion increments up to 30%. Promotions beyond that are monthly bonuses (10%, 15%, and 20%) which are paid only if the sales representative meets a sales threshold for the month. This bonus is then added to the rep's regular commission. Straight commission plus the monthly bonus means that the top representatives are paid at a 50% rate. Promotions are dependent upon career sales, and remain permanently; i.e., one could leave the company and, 
upon returning, receive the same commission rate. Sales representatives may refer their friends to join as a new sales reps which allows them to gain 3% of their friends' sales, and this bonus comes out of the manager's paycheck, not the friend's paycheck. The company's average order is $250, and the average conversion ratio or closing percentage is 60% meaning that representatives should typically make more on their commissions than from the base pay. The Vector Marketing company does not provide professional assistance with creating and generating formal appointments with customers.
Vector is a member of the Direct Selling Association and the Better Business Bureau. In 2006, Vector became a National Advisory Board member of DECA.
A strict promote-from-within policy[8] allows successful individuals an opportunity for advancement. Those that are selected can go through Vector's management training program after beginning at the bottom entry level position of a sales representative. Many Vector offices are managed by recent college graduates, and assistant managers are generally college students, although the company does have a Branch manager program that allows current students to open and run an office while on summer break.
Vector Marketing possesses an advisory board currently consisting of seven college professors: Dr. Joseph Hair (Kennesaw State University), Dr. Victoria Crittenden (Boston College), Dr. David Downey (Purdue University), Dr. Robert Peterson (University of Texas), Dr. Mike Williams (Illinois State University), Dr. Derek Hassay (University of Calgary), and Dr. Deborah MacInnis (University of Southern California). These board members "assist in evaluating and enhancing Vector's sales, training, and promotional programs for college students and sales representatives."
The training seminar that Vector representatives attend to start their careers is also offered as a class at universities around the country including Illinois State University, which is located in Normal, Illinois. Professor Jill Ataway, who teaches the class with help from the Chicago Division Manager Mike Muriel, emphasizes that selling Cutco gives students "the opportunity to find out what it is like to take the theory from the classroom and apply it to a real-world sales environment"
Like many direct selling organizations, the overall success of representatives is based on performance. Representatives receive a presentation booklet during the course of the training seminar, which they are not paid for, which consists of the word for word demonstration that reps are encouraged to follow in order to develop necessary skill-sets within the company.
