WHAT WE DO

Our sales representatives meet one-on-one with potential customers either in-person or virtually. The sales rep's job is to show CUTCO and help those customers find the perfect set that fits their needs. Most people buy, but some don't. And, that's okay. We give our sales reps a guaranteed commission each time they show CUTCO to a qualified potential customer whether the customer buys or not. Our reps receive a guaranteed base pay of $22 when they show CUTCO to a qualified potential customer. So they get paid whether or not the customer purchases.

How We Work

There's a reason why we pay our reps regardless of sales results. We don't want a sales rep to ever feel pressure to make a sale in any way that's pushy with a customer. We think CUTCO is pretty awesome and want customers to buy it because they love it. How can we pay people even if they don't make a sale? Frankly, most people who see CUTCO buy something, so we can afford to create this safety net for our reps.

Because our reps are independent contractors, they enjoy real flexibility and control over their own schedules. They set their own appointments based on their availability day-by-day.

Our sales reps pride themselves in providing ridiculously awesome customer service and enjoy representing a truly incredible (and useful) product. And, it works. Over 15 million homes in North America alone have CUTCO in their kitchen.

 

What’s It Like?

While each day is different, daily activities might include:

  • Scheduling appointments with potential customers.

  • Presenting CUTCO products in a customer's home or online with a customer.

  • Filling out and submitting order forms to the local office.

  • Reviewing sales performance with a local office manager.

  • Attending an optional weekly team meeting.

Local Program

The Local Program is for anyone that is accepted to work with Cutco currently living in the Tuscaloosa or Birmingham metro area. If you are hired to work with us, you get to participate in the Local Program. 

This program is going to consist of going to clients’ residences and doing in-home presentations. You will start out with people you know and then our training programs will teach you how to get referrals and recommendations. We do this because we don’t want young adults doing door to door, telemarketing, or cold calling.

Virtual Program

The Virtual Program is for anyone accepted to work in our Tuscaloosa office. We work with mostly students so no matter the current place of residency, or if you don’t have a current way of transportation. We have an online presentation that our representatives are allowed to use to present to clients that don’t have time to do in-home presentations.

The Pay

Security with the base rate ($22), opportunity to make much more through incentives.

Our reps receive a guaranteed base pay when they show CUTCO to a qualified potential customer. So they get paid whether or not the customer purchases. Our reps are not pushy, and we don't want them to be. The guaranteed base pay takes the pressure off our reps so they never have to be rude or forceful with potential customers.

But, you ask, "How can they pay reps when a sale is not made?" Great question. Since most people who see CUTCO choose to purchase at least one knife, we can create a safety net for all of our reps. We want to encourage and provide incentives to our reps to put themselves out there and try to make a sale. You're not always going to make a sale with a potential customer, and that's ok.

While our reps are guaranteed to make a base pay each time they show CUTCO, they can earn more than what's guaranteed through incentives from completing a sale. Additionally, we pay on a weekly basis, so you'll receive earnings for your hard work at the end of each workweek.
