Follow-up questions they answered

Is Vector Marketing a scam or a pyramid scheme?
Ava MacDougall clarifies that Vector is not a pyramid scheme because representatives only earn money from their own sales and demos, not from others they work with. She also notes that pyramid schemes are illegal in Canada and that Vector has been a legitimate company for over 35 years. — Ava MacDougall
Do I have to pay money to start working at Vector Marketing?
According to Ava MacDougall, representatives do not have to pay anything to get started. The company provides free training and gives representatives Cutco cutlery to use and borrow for free while they are sales reps. — Ava MacDougall
Why does Vector Marketing require you to start with friends and family?
Ava explains that starting with a personal network is a 'confidence booster' for new reps who lack prior sales experience. It allows them to practice in a comfortable environment, which helps their nerves go down as their skills improve. — Ava MacDougall
Are most digital marketing agencies scams?
Elliott Feldman initially believed most marketers were 'scam artists' who made big promises but lacked strategy. He found Black Box Social Media different because they implemented legitimate top, middle, and bottom-of-funnel campaigns rather than just playing arbitrage. — Elliott Feldman
Can an agency handle an ad budget over $30,000 a month?
Feldman noted that while many agencies are only comfortable with $1,000 to $5,000 monthly spends, Curt and Nick at Black Box have specific experience managing six-figure monthly budgets and keeping CPMs stable during that growth. — Elliott Feldman
How does professional ad management affect a business owner's workload?
By trusting Black Box to handle the technical setup and strategy, Feldman was able to take his 'hand off the wheel' of marketing. This freed him to focus on recruiting, training, and growing his legal team. — Elliott Feldman
