Vector Marketing opened a new sales office in Bremerton operated by Vector District Manager Jake Schmitt.

The Kitsap County office is located at 2817 Wheaton Way, Suite 210. Sales representatives market Vector’s product, CUTCO Cutlery, through in-home presentations and use the sales office as “home base.”

As an independent contractor, Vector district managers individually own their Vector sales office. Being a Vector district manager allows Schmitt to be an entrepreneur while having guidance and support from corporate headquarters. All managers begin as sales representatives.

After first working as a sales representative, Schmitt worked his way up through the company, holding several managerial positions before receiving his most recent promotion. He is a graduate of Oregon State University.
