The ones where you need to buy the product and then harrass all your families and friends to do the same? My initial reaction is to talk my friend out of this, but I figured I would ask the world first.

This a cutco knives deal...what do you think?
2006-10-02 15:10:47 · update #1
lol
cutco, i think that was the first job i got hired
but i didn't take the job
knowing that it's only paid on commission and you have to pay for your own knives to display to other people
i think the company was vector or something
anyway, don't ever take the job
useless, meaningless
i don't think chefs would use those knives
and those knives are expensive...no one would buy them

I almost did this while in college. I remember a few things from the training:
The price of the knife set was $611.00 He told us to say it like this - "Your price today is just six-eleven" - not six hundred and eleven dollars. What a bargain!!!
Also, I remember that I could cut a penny with the scissors that come with the knives. Just in case you want to make this a hobby.
Well, I only made two phone calls and decided it wasn't for me. That was the summer (1988) that I ended up working as a security guard. I guarded a sewage plant for most of the summer!
I think my current knife set costs about $20.00 at Wal-mart.

I think so, I know my buddy did it - it's sort of a racket though, they make you write down 200 names of people you know, and then sell all to them, and then you are done.
I know I have cutco knives, and they are great knives - I can't say they are poor quality, so it's not like you are selling garbage.

It's a sales job. Like any sales job, one sells to their "warm and fuzzy" market first. Then you have to depend on the leads that your happy customers give you ("prospecting").
If you're good enough to make good money selling knives, you'll want to move up to selling exotic boats, mansions, etc cause the skills are the same.
