Course Name: Vector Marketing
Instructor: Al DiLeonardo
Price: $0
Overview
Vector Marketing is a direct sales company, often associated with Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) practices, that primarily focuses on selling Cutco kitchen products. The program is widely known for recruiting young people, particularly college students, to sell these products and potentially recruit others to do the same. While there is no upfront cost to join, the structure and focus on recruitment raise concerns similar to those associated with MLMs.
Content and Structure
The Vector Marketing program involves two primary components:
Product Sales: Participants sell Cutco products directly to consumers, typically through in-home demonstrations or personal networks.
Recruitment: While not explicitly an MLM, the program encourages participants to recruit others, who then become part of their downline. This can lead to earning bonuses or commissions based on the sales and recruitment efforts of those they bring into the program.
Instructor
Al DiLeonardo is affiliated with Vector Marketing, and while not a traditional "instructor," he represents the leadership behind the company's training and recruitment strategies. The program positions itself as an opportunity for young people to gain sales experience and earn money through direct sales.
Price
There is no upfront cost to join Vector Marketing, which can make it appealing to young people looking for a flexible way to earn money. However, participants may need to purchase sample products or sales materials, and the earnings are commission-based, which can vary widely depending on individual sales success.
Pros
No Upfront Cost: The program is free to join, which lowers the barrier to entry for young people interested in sales.
Sales Experience: Participants can gain valuable sales experience, which may benefit them in future career opportunities.
Flexible Schedule: The program offers flexibility in terms of when and how participants choose to work.
Cons
MLM Structure: Although it’s not officially an MLM, the focus on recruitment and building a downline mirrors MLM practices, which can be concerning.
Targeting Young People: The program often targets young, inexperienced individuals who may not fully understand the challenges and risks involved.
Inconsistent Earnings: Earnings are commission-based and can be highly variable, with many participants struggling to make significant income.
Pressure to Recruit: Participants may feel pressured to recruit others, which can lead to strained personal relationships and a focus on recruitment over product sales.
What’s My Solution?
I think Vector Marketing teaches a decent business model in theory. However, “theories” often don’t pan out.
For example, with the MLM / Sales business model you’ll find yourself struggling with...
Competition
Annoyed Customer Base
Overpriced products that you can buy cheaper somewhere else
Yeah, those are just a few of the things that gurus like Al DiLeonardo don’t really tell you about the business.
Which I totally understand, if you knew those things... you’d probably reconsider buying from them right?
Unfortunately, they know that too... which is why they don’t say anything.
See, they’re mainly just concerned with you handing over your money (I’m talking gurus at large here) and wishing you luck.
When their system doesn’t work... it’s not their fault... or their systems... it’s your fault.
It’s something you did.
That’s the reason you’re not making full time passive income...
Ugh.
I hate that they deal with people that way. Too much psychological manipulation and once you see it... you can’t unsee it. It makes you sick.
At least it makes me sick...
See I’ve tried a lot of things throughout the years myself. But I’ve also had family members try real estate from their favorite guru, they’ve tried Amazon FBA, drop shipping, running an agency, even credit card programs.
It has never ended well.
You see, I learned that it is almost impossible to do any one of these “side hustles” full time unless you have a lot of money or have come from a rich family.
Gurus will tell you otherwise, but we all know why that is...
So in my online journey I was going to make sure that whatever it was I did was 1) viable and 2) only takes an hour or two after work to work on.
I didn’t want to get stuck in the constant hustle and burn my life away trying to chase after the guru version of the hamster wheel.
Screw that!
I want to be able to work hard, have a job (which isn’t as bad as gurus say), and have some side income.
I’m not greedy.
I’m not looking to get super rich.
Just something honest and simple.
I found that to be something called Local Lead Generation.
No ads, No crazy tech skills, and no real sales skills either.
All you do is build a little website like this:
Rank it to the top of Google like this:
And call up a guy/gal in town who can do the work.
After they’ve made some money, you just ask for a finders fee (super common in the contracting space) and boom... you’ve created a nice dependable side income.
Have I known people who do this full time with hundreds of these sites?
Sure... but they’re pretty stressed out!
People with 5-10 of these though?
Super relaxed from what I’ve experienced myself and seen from others.
And we’re after the least amount of stress possible right?
That’s what I’m thinking...
Full time secure job, 401k or IRA retirement account, and side hustle income leads to a pretty cushy life.
Gurus won’t tell you that because they want to pull on your greed strings.
I’m sick of the industry though, and just want to be straight with you.
There will be some hard work involved. Not everything will be peachy from the onset. But it will be worth while.
