Part Time Sales Representative at Vector Marketing

Vector Marketing No longer available

Job Description

Vector Marketing is looking for sales reps to join our team. Basic responsibilities include working with customers one on one, explaining our American made products, and writing up any orders. There is a great starting base pay (paid weekly) that isn’t based on sales or results, but incentives are possible based on performance.

We work with Cutco products that are used in the home focusing on the kitchen and some gardening tools as well. Previous experience & knowledge about home goods isn’t needed. We work with a lot of people who are looking to build up their communication and networking skills. We provide all the training needed for success.

Benefits

  • Reps are paid weekly - $22.00 base-appt, not based on sales. We have a commission structure set up based on performance. There is an opportunity to make more, but there is still a fallback for the sales rep to make an income even if they have an off week.
  • Solid training – We’ve been training people to do well for over 40 years. Even if someone doesn’t decide to stay with us long term, the sales & communication skills they build are needed for any field.
  • Flexible scheduling – Schedules can be arranged around classes, full time jobs, travel plans, and family commitments.
  • Location – Sales reps work locally after training, meetings and training are held in the office.

Requirements

  • Enjoy working with people
  • All ages 18+ or 17 and a high school graduate
  • Conditions apply 

What makes a great candidate
This entry level position is a good fit for people who are looking for a part time or flexible work opportunity. If you are a student looking to work around classes, someone who just needs a flexible schedule, or is looking to supplement their full time job we have opportunities for you. It doesn’t matter if you have a Bachelors Degree, an Associates Degree, or no degree at all – we can train you to do well with us.

People who do well with us have experience in just about every field you can imagine - customer service, sales, marketing, receptionist or clerical work at a local law firm, hospitality, as a server, bartender, a line cook or other restaurant work, housekeeping, babysitting, as an administrative assistant, worked in an warehouse, advertising, cashier, retail, stocked shelves in a grocery store,  or food services

Seriously – just about anything you can think of! It doesn’t matter even if you have no experience at all, we can train you to do well here. We encourage applicants of all ages and experience, as we do not discriminate on the basis of an applicant’s age.

If you think you would be a great fit for our sales team, fill out the contact information and a receptionist will follow up with you about setting up a virtual interview with a manager.

Don't let hiring headlines mislead you—focus on concrete offers. Your leverage may be less durable than it appears—move decisively.
