Re: Cutco Knives
I sold cutco knives and made a lot of money. If you are a salesperson it is for you. If you're an anti-social idiot find something else....

Since the usual employee is college age, they do rely on friends and families to get started. Since it is a referral based business, the first few weeks end up being filled with family, and friends of family. It's just the nature of this kind of direct sales. Once you get more and more references, you get into the world of complete strangers. This is where you realize whether or not sales is something for you. You are completely self-sufficient, generating your own leads and scheduling your own appointments. This kind of freedom can be very enticing to college kids. If you are a decent salesperson, dedicated, and hard working, there is a good amount of money to be made. I did this back in the summer of '90. I lasted about 10 weeks, and did not do well. I was a slacker who had trouble motivating myself to this type of environment. I do know 2 people who made over 20k in the ~4 months of summer vacation doing it. They busted their humps to do it though. If you are motivated in this way, sales can be very rewarding and this is a good way to get experience. However, don't be sold yourself. Since it's 100% commission based, the company doesn't really have much at stake. Good friggin knives though....
