A Cutco Demonstration gone wrong

[jasons49]

i hope tha doesnt happen to me while i work for Vector!! O_O

[wppdoes]

He was holding the twine the wrong way. The district manager is supposed to train you how to hold it so that can't happen, you NEVER use the tips of your fingers like that.

[zeze40video]

That wasn't funny.

[jinn13]

Tried this when a youngster. One applicant next to me in the group interview was drunk and reeked of alcohol, still remember that.

[dogbadgereye]

wow why does everyone rag on this company. Look they provide jobs to college students, a job that gives very flexible hours and great pay as well. you dont have to be a master salesman to do it. The product sells itself in the end. Ive been working for the company for about 3 weeks and have made 1000 already and ive only done like 12 demonstrations. so 12 hours of work for 1000 dollars thats pretty damn good in my opinion

[Billprime]

I went out for a job, applied online for Vector (not knowing what it was at the time) and was called in for an interview about 15 minutes after, where i wasrun around in circles and had absolutely none of my questions answered. I finally told the little prick behind the cherrywood desk that I wasnt interested and he still went on like some kind of sales pitch. Sorry, im with the majority here.

[swampdog597]

For all those people hating on CUTCO,let me let you know something. I was a sales rep for about a month,sold over 6,000 worth of knives,made about 2 grand and then the office moved and i didnt want to go with it. I believe that CUTCO's value is not with the money that you get, its with the experience with people,the sales training,and the print on your resume for a young adult who hasn't had too many jobs. I can put that on my resume and other companies are gonna see that. PS i only had 6 nosale

[swampdog597]

and for those who are loving the money. save some,tax season comes around sooner or later

[pirballer]

you can claim just about everything as a tax write off including, gas, food, even business apparel.

[bigdaddykenkuo]

It's only 10k a year if you can sell it constantly. Vector is a bogus company.

[RuBixKuber07]

as a college student, that's pretty fucking good.

plus, if you're actually good at it, you can make well over 10k a year. you probably just sucked =]

[bigdaddykenkuo]

When I worked at Cutco I managed to sell $500 worth of products in my first weekend. I only left because I felt used and underpaid. Was that good? I don't know, nor I give a rat's ass about it anymore.

You sir are just a tool and their prostitute. If you don't sell well you'll get fired and replace quickly.

[pirballer]

hahah yeah right, my last paycheck was for $976.34 and that was for 4 days of work. no to mention that i just started two weeks ago. people like you don't deserve to be in our company.

[bigdaddykenkuo]

To be in a company that exploits college students and teenagers for their own sake of mass profit while you get a miniscule fraction of what they get?

You sir are right. I don't deserve to be in that low company. I can, and will, always do better.

[JmasterJr]

A job is a job they offer you great experience and great job opportunities in the future my first 2 days i sold 2k and tonight hopefully another 2.

It comes down to if you want to work for yourself and make decent money to great money with great job opportunities or have a low income job that you don't get raises at and your manager is a dick vector seems like a win win get over it

[spacepope87]

Doesnt every company do that?

Look at it this way. Working at Mc Donalds were they sell thousands of dollars a day on food and you dont make more than $70 a day.

[spacepope87]

The problem with Cutco is that it depends on YOU and also LOCATION. If one is missing, your sales will be weak.

[pirballer]

That's not true, i live in the metro area of detroit, which happens to be the hardest hit area by the recession, most of my friends parents have been laid off. and yet i still was about to go out and sell more that 15,000 worth of Cutco in a month. If your determined enough you can easily make a huge profit. Selling knives is what's getting me through college right now.

[spacepope87]

You also have to consider that not everyone cares about safer knives which is a huge selling point for cutco. A lot of people would much rather buy cheap knives and keep sharpening them, or just leave them be. I know. I am a knife enthusiest. People are really stupid when it comes to knives.

[lilgirlsj]

bt even a word sorry?

[44sk8erboi]

oh wow uh ya bro you gotta have the cuttin board in front of them with the knives so they play with them and fall in love with them even more but sorry about your finger i hope you learned

and that it gets better bro . haha but idk knives from cutco are obviously the sharpest and i cant believe you let her do that like that but better luck next time dewd

[Jiggalojoe25]

Hell ya i work for vector now its the best pay you can imagine im making 1000 plus a week

[pirballer]

hell yeah for comma checks!!!

[magdizzle18]

Ive worked for vector for a while now. the pay is amazing and it isnt a scam. I mean really at 18 we you bringing home 500-1000 a week? oh wait most of you probably dont bring that home every two weeks. :) cant make money sellin knives

[Kibasreincatnate]

I was making about $700/wk working about 20-30 hrs a wk, at my old job before they relocated, and I didn't go with them.

[msheale0]

This is the worst type of bussiness that anybody can be in.If your looking for a part time job go to UPS or some other well known company. At least the work you do in those companies your guarenteed no matter what ,great pay

[FanGirl182]

vector offers a base pay of about 17 a demo no matter what so that is a great pay considering each demo last 30min-1hour

[mlbmark888]

scott, stop lying on youtube and commenting on cutco loser

[WrIsTsTr0nG]

make me messsage me cuz i gotta tell you something serious

[Julio765]

good for you have fun making your higher ups money, if you were hired in college.

[wolfdragon1209]

i just quit because they wanted the $150 for the sample kit and that's a scam because they didn't just give me the sample kit and they didn't pay me for training and they're supposed to.

[moviefreak09]

you can get the money back when you are done with the kit. i returned all mine at the end of the summer for a full refund. they're not just gonna give you hundreds of dollars worth of knives.

[DEMODICK35]

thats stupid. you should have sold the set in one last demo and collected full price for the homaker

[pirballer]

i made back that money the first day i was selling. It's not a scam, they make you pay so that you go out and sell more. It's security on there part so that punks like you just don't get hired and then quit with $500 worth of knives for free.

[TinsleyCarmichael]

you don't get it do you you fuckin nunts? 150 bucks for a set and they hire EVERYFUCKING PERSON that comes through the door. if it was a real sales place they would have a boiler room and be making calls with different products not just ONE FUCKING knife set. they don't count on 75% of the people to keep on working there, but it doesnt matter because they already got you 150 bucks and the money of the poor family and friends you sold it to

[pirballer]

no you don't get it you fuck. the set that they give you is valued at well over $500. so why in the hell would they just hand a set of knives to everybody they hire without making them pay some sort of deposit on them. and if you weren't so god damn nieve you would know that if you turn your set back in you get your $150 back. get a clue.

[TinsleyCarmichael]

i'm sure that's what they tell you buddy :)

[pirballer]

no that's the truth asshole. look it up.

[TinsleyCarmichael]

you would believe that

[pirballer]

no it's fact. i got my $150 back when i turned in my set. your nothing more than another lowlife who can't make any real money.

[TinsleyCarmichael]

your selling knives door to door, and i'm working as a nurse. who's the lowlife? lol

[pirballer]

i'm also a freshman in college making $1000 + a week while taking 15 credits. face it i'm making more than you working half the hours.

[TinsleyCarmichael]

that's it? lol chump change kiddo

[pirballer]

hah you must've missed the part where i said i was still in college, taking classes, working probably 7 hours a week. you do the math

[TinsleyCarmichael]

anybody can make money in college. and that's a complete lie lol. good try though sport

[pirballer]

hahah if you only knew. it's ok suffer at your job.

[TinsleyCarmichael]

haha. suffer? 3-4 days of work a week, 65 an hour, bonuses on top fo bonuses... okay bud

[pirballer]

hahah that's pathetic, cause you know that's a 12 hour shift. i can make $300 in one hour, and that's only at 30% commission bud :) hence me working 7 hours a week. bud :)

[iamtheteam]

haha nice. Tinsley, you can suck my 5-figure summer income... and thats before i actually sell. AM is da way to go.

[CrazyHorseInvincible]

It's been a month, now. Are you in the NFL club yet? Kind of sucks now that you've alienated friends and family by liquidating your relationships into their cash value and sending it to Cutco, keeping a few scraps for yourself.

[wiltiam5]

did she buy anything tho?

[cjohn126]

I've never been cut on a demo, but yeah customers are funny when they test the edge and cut themselves. some of my reps tried to miss the rope in training though. It's about paying attention.

[worksuxs]

lol have them with there free hand hold one end and you hold the other lol u might not get cut then XP

[Conren]

Can you imagine trying to sell these knives in dangerous cities like LA and Baltimore ROLF, be careful if your local vector is in any of those!

[surdartsid]

Lulz! So far I haven't Cut myself in any of my demos...but I've had people cut themselves with my demo set...they are like LOOK IT WONT CUT YOU and then SLICE -_- it's still a knife people lol

[Mhotchki]

good thing that wasnt a cutco!!! His finger would be gone!!! reppin the GJ CO OFFICE!!!!

[keysha0427]

the piece of rope was supposed to be longer anyway

[PrinceNightFox]

What office was this out of?

I ran the Grass Valley, CA office last summer.

[k8drennan]

it was the Fairfield office

[PrinceNightFox]

Ah, DM Richard Brown, huh? What was your role?

[k8drennan]

yup Richard Brown, I was a sales rep.

[mattywash]

Why hold your fingers so close to the knife? Haha see why you should have cutco. Those bad knives she cut him with don't go forward.

[lcromy]

Women + ANYTHING = disaster!!!

[goorackerelite]

women + knives = danger

[azzyxsays]

you should see us with power tools.

[ionamailbox]

...no you shouldn't. Haha.

[AbunaiBijin]

And that is why they have us as reps hold only ONE end of the rope while the customer holds the other. It prevents accidents because they will be more careful.

And not even with a CUTCO knife no less.

[PrinceNightFox]

I had my reps hold both sides of the rope but they were also to instruct the customer to *only* pull back and not push forward. Never push a knife in the direction of a person.

[samuraij89]

You need a longer piece of rope methinks.

[thedeprivedwriter]

it did not even Cut...that's not Cutco and it's serrated, which isn't even sharp...

[k8drennan]

yeah we we're just comparing knives that's all. and he didn't even get hurt

[ProViz]

OUCH!!!!!!
