Cutco

I first learned of Cutco when my friend called about there ad in the paper for a job. On the phone he set up a time for an interview in a city about an hour from where we live. When he got back from his interview he was so happy about how he got the job, especially since he was competing with a bunch of other people for a limited number of positions. He then in the following weeks drove back to that city for a series of training sessions.

Well what is Cutco? Cutco is company that sells fine Cutlery. Other wise known as knives. These knives are very expensive but good.

Why am I talking about this company? Well I'm not quite sure that Cutco is an MLM. Since it mainly teaches its reps to sell and not recruit. Though it is possible to recruit other people into Cutco. Cutco is known for using a lot of deception in its hiring practices and sales pitches. One such deception this company uses is when you call the number in the ad, you think you are getting interviewed for a job. In actuality you are not. You are being signed up as an independent contractor or salesman. You also think you are competing with others for only a few available positions. Also not true, the company will sign up almost everybody that comes for an interview. These new reps are then given lots of misinformation about the product they are selling and the competitors products. Also there is a big misinformation on the amount of money you can earn. Or you can have my friends misfortune and not get paid at all for most of the products he sold. For more on Cutco's misinformation, visit this site or do a quick search for Cutco on google.

According to the site mentioned above, not all branches of this company are bad. And I'm sure you can at least make some alright side cash from it. If you can find someone that can afford to buy there products from you. Be sure to research the information you are told by them.

Now on to the knives themselves. I've used them many times and they are very good, but they are way over priced. These knives will more than likely last your entire lifetime and maybe your children's. But when these knives sell between $500 - $1500 for the different sets available. (You can also buy them individually.) While they are of very high quality, they are not the best quality of knives you can buy like you are told by a sales rep. Something to do with the difference between stamped and forged steel. The average person does not need a set of knives like these in there kitchen. Why do I need a knife in my kitchen that can cut through a thick piece of rope or a penny? What am I possibly going to be cutting in my kitchen that is that tuff? Most people will do just find with decent set of knives from a local retailer. You really cant go wrong buying them, they will just cost you an arm and a leg. It also should be noted that you can only purchase Cutco's products through sales reps.
