I mean unless you had an unlimited supply of brand new customers you could go to and how they required you to get customers, by referral and acceptance of referral only, it is not a great way to make money since their products are actually decent. I still have everything from my demo kit except my steak knife, I think an ex took it, and besides the chef knife, I have not sharpened anything and it still cuts well. The sheers even still cut pennies.
I never saw it as a way out. It was a quick job I tried and then moved on to something vastly more promising(IT).
My mother bought a set off of my sister during her brief stink as a Cutco saleswoman.
My youngest was about 7 at the time, and my mom warned her when they were delivered that she had to be really careful because the new knives were really sharp. And this girl dead ass grabbed one, ran it across her palm, and then turned to my mom and said “wow, these ARE sharp!”
(And she grew up to be a delightful and well adjusted human being.)
lol I did the same thing 20+ years ago! Once I sold out to family and friends over the summer it was done, it was always just a summer job. I did manage to sell one of those elite kits with every knife in it that was like $2k. That couple hundred dollars lasted a whole month back then 😭 got caught smoking weed at that “retreat” they had over a weekend. So much fun, would recommend 10/10.
In a round about way found my way to IT also, congrats! I also have my like the chef knife, shears, two of those flat spread-then-cut knifes, one steak knife, and bread/filet knife. I wish I still had the cleaver, that thing was seriously badass

I’m not tired of working, but I am tired of being poor despite the fact that I’m working.
