My Daughter the Cutco Girl

So who was this mystery Vector Marketing? We started looking more into the company and found out that we actually were quite aware of their products! Little did we know, one of our church friends had worked for the same company five years before and had sold us our knives that sat on our kitchen counter. Then the thought struck me: Oh my gosh! My daughter is going to be going door to door to sell knives! Naturally I was very concerned about this and my protective maternal instincts kicked in; but she assured me that it was perfectly safe and that there was a system of talking with the people that she knew first and asking them for recommendations.

Several months had passed with Sarah working at Vector Marketing and she was working hard, so hard that she was the top of her training class and one of the top representatives in the Bay Area! Because of her success thus far, her boss had asked her to speak on her success at a conference.

We were so proud and honored that they had asked our daughter, Sarah to do such a big thing. Though she was nervous about this big task ahead of her, she was willing and honored to do it. Finally, the day of the company conference came, and I watched as my daughter got ready in her professional business attire and prepared herself for this exciting day. She had done very well in the past two weeks sales competition with the company, but it didn’t matter how well she had done, I knew all she was thinking about was her speech she was to give at the conference to over 1,000 people! 

We followed her out the door, kissed her on the cheek and assured her we would be there for her speech in a couple of hours. It finally came time for her to give her speech, and as we watched our beautiful daughter walk up on stage and speak like a professional to such a big audience, we couldn’t help but feel immensely proud of all that she had done and how she had changed the predicament of the crash in her life journey's several months before into such an amazing accomplishment!

When she concluded her speech, she was given a standing ovation from the entire room as she thanked the crowd and walked down the steps of the stage with a beaming smile on her face. She walked to the back of the Conference hall where we were standing with tears in our eyes and it is then that she whispered to us “This is what I want to do mom and dad, this is what I want to do with my life! Inspire others, Business, marketing, it all makes sense and feels so natural. I know that this is where God is calling me at this point in time, and I am excited that I have been able to find it!”
