• We are one of the largest student recruiters in the nation.
• 85% of our sales reps are students.

• Since our sales reps are independent contractors, your work schedule is entirely up to you. Whether you want to schedule five appointments in one day or just a couple in one week - it's your choice.
• Many of our sales reps work part-time during the school year and full-time during the summer or winter break, but whenever you're able to work, we'll provide you with the training and support you need to successfully sell Cutco®.
• Not a student? No worries! Some of our reps are just looking for an opportunity to make up for a lack of hours at another job.

• New sales representatives participate in a two or three-day training session at their local office. While training is unpaid, most participants consider it to be a worthwhile experience and a productive use of their time. Basically, it'll teach you how to sell Cutco®. Our experienced managers will show you things like business strategies, demonstration techniques, and what you can look forward to as a Cutco sales rep.
• Don't worry about prior experience - whether you're a sales pro or you're just starting your first job, we'll teach you everything you need to know!
• We value learning. One of the ways we encourage our reps to build upon their Cutco skills is to make the most of our year-round training resources. You'll have an opportunity to participate in team meetings, attend regional conferences, and regularly meet with your local manager.
