2. Show Qualified Customers
3. Have fun!
Send a confirmation email to your customer after booking your presentation (or as soon as possible)
Send a reminder text to your customer the morning of your presentation
Do your best to see husbands and wives together. If you'd like to see a spouse alone, talk to your manager.
Be energetic and smile!
Collect stories and written testimonials from past customers
If your customer asks for prices in the middle of your presentation, say: “I don't want to give away the end of the movie, I’ll go over all the prices at the end!”
Be patient with any technical issues
Follow this manual word for word!
Still do the FULL presentation. It’s great practice for you and many customers forget the important details!
EX: “As a reminder, we’ve been around since 1949, we’re dishwasher safe, and we have a Forever Guarantee..."
Cutco owners love upgrading to sets, adding accessories, and buying gifts!
(Recommended 5-10 minutes)
(Get to know your customer and/or catch up with them)
(Ask several questions before getting started!)
How has your summer/fall/winter/spring been so far?
How do you know [the person that referred them?]
Have you and your family done anything special this summer/fall/winter/spring so far?
Do you have any trips coming up?
Do you have any kids? What are their names?
Where are you from? Where did you go to school?
Thank you so much for taking the time to see my presentation—it really means a lot...
By the way, did you download "My Cutco Rep" app from the text message I sent you?
If yes: Great, thanks! We will use that toward the end of the presentation.
If no: It helps me with anonymous feedback on my presentation, would you mind downloading that real quick?
Our company created a very simple App called "My Cutco Rep", which is only available and used by Cutco Customers, like yourself.
Do you have an iPhone or an Android device Mrs. ______?
This app allows the company to get some very simple feedback from you on me and my presentation and also eliminates all of the paperwork to make everything easier and faster. To get started, I'll need you to download the App real quick and then I'll give you my 8-digit Rep # and our 4-digit Meeting # to enter to make this appointment official. (meeting # can be found in your Vector Impact App)
Here is the link to get the app...(text customer link from VectorImpact. It is in the second confirmation text you send to them after booking the demo).
I just messaged you with the link Mrs. _____.
For iPhone: After downloading the app you'll have to click on SETTINGS Mrs. _____. then General, then Device Management and then Trust/Verify MyCutcoRep. We're a Certified App Developer for Apple and this is a private app that's only used by Cutco customers, it's not on the app store since it has no use other than for someone who's seeing a Cutco presentation. Let me know when you finish doing this step, thanks!
For Android: After downloading the app you'll have to click on SETTINGS Mrs. _____. then "Give Chrome Permission to Install". Since we're a Certified App Developer for Android and this is a private app that's only used by Cutco customers, it's not on the app store since it has no use other than for someone who's seeing a Cutco presentation. Let me know when you finish doing this step, thanks!
Also, at the end of our presentation there will be a way for you to help sponsor me to my goals in the company too! Thanks so much for your help Mrs. _____!
Okay go ahead and open the app.
My rep # is ___ and the meeting # is ____. Please go ahead and answer the first two questions for me and once you get to the product knowledge section you can put your phone aside...
Let me tell you a little bit more about myself... (school, major, hobbies, family, dream job)
Mrs. _____, do you mind if I share my goals with you?
I’m working with Cutco because... (skills / experience / resume / future)....
I just started my Fast Start Contest and I have a goal to complete ______ presentations and sell $_______ in my first 10 days on the job. This goal is really important to me is because... (share why your sales goal is important to you)
Also, if I sell enough Cutco, I can earn a President’s Club letter, which would look great on my resume. It's a hand-signed letter of recommendation from the President and CEO of our company!
As a student, I have a chance to win an All-American Scholarship to help pay for school, too. Earning this scholarship would... (share how the scholarship will help you in the future).
Mrs. _____, like I said on the phone, you don’t have to get anything. I get paid $17 just to do this presentation. But, if you see something you're interested in—which most people do—not only would you be getting a great product, but you would be helping me out toward my goals, as well!
By the way, I only work through referrals, so my main goal today is that you like Cutco enough to tell some of your friends about me.
Mrs. _____, I'm here to show you Cutco, the world's finest set of cutlery.
We have been in business for over 7 decades (1949)
We're a product enjoyed by over 16 million customers
Cutco products are made here in America at our factory in Olean, NY
Fun fact: Cutco is a family company! The population of Olean is about 13,000 and 800 people work in the Cutco factory. The average length of employment is 20 years!
We are the top selling American-made brand in the United States with annual sales of over $200 million.
Additionally, Cutco is a proud sponsor and producer of KA-BAR Knives, which are the knives used by the United States Marines.
Mrs. _____, bottom line; Cutco is awesome! You can buy sets or pieces and we have tons of accessories and gifts, too.
I'd like to show you a short video that illustrates the quality of Cutco. It's about 10 minutes long, and I think you'll love it. After that, I’ll show you the pieces in our basic set.
A few things to know:
1) These are real customers. Some of them have had CUTCO for decades.
2) The Forever Guarantee is what makes Cutco a top-selling brand in North America. Essentially, if anything ever happens to your Cutco, you can send it back to the factory and they'll sharpen, replace, or refurbish it for free!
Now, please click "full screen" and make sure your volume is up. We'll watch it together!

Now, before I show you our product line, I'd like to get to know your cooking style a little bit.
(Write down your customer's cooking habits in a notebook)
Do you prepare food because you have to, like to, or love to?
Would you say you typically prepare food 1-3 nights a week, 3-5 nights a week, or 4-7 nights a week?
What are your favorite vegetables to prepare? Fruits? Meats?
Do you typically buy all of your fruits whole? Or do you buy them pre-cut?
What is your favorite meal to prepare for your family?
What's the hardest thing in your kitchen to cut?
Do you ever cook with anyone else?
Great! Thank you for sharing, _________. With that information, I'm going to start by showing you the pieces in our most popular set which is called the Homemaker...
(Scroll Down to "Homemaker Set Pieces" Slideshow, Go "Full Screen")
Mrs. _____, you can buy individual pieces, but most customers agree that over a lifetime, sets are a much better value.
It’s important to have the right tool for the right situation because of safety and efficiency.
We have two larger set options for customers who love to cook, called the Ultimate and Signature.
But, I’m going to start with the pieces in our BASIC SET, which is the most popular. It’s called the HOMEMAKER+8. It has the minimum number of tools to do 100% of the jobs in your kitchen as efficiently as possible.
It’s the best value for the average family and it starts with your...

Everyone needs a good paring knife. Cutco’s “air knife” has a long handle, and makes peeling and paring very comfortable.
________, you’ll use this knife for small jobs in the air like peeling and paring apples, strawberries, and bananas. But, you'll rarely use it on the cutting board. That’s why you have your trimmer.
Tip: in the video, you'll see pictures showing some additional uses for each knife. Point them out if you can!

This is your “small utility knife” for small fruits and vegetables. You’ll never smash a tomato again!
It's also great for cucumbers, oranges, lemons, and limes, and for slicing raw chicken into strips.
Everyone loves the versatility of the trimmer, but it’s never really used for spreading or serving. That’s why you have your spatula spreader.
(Next slide)
(5d)
The wide, flexible DD edge on this piece allows you to cut, spread, and serve sandwiches, bagels, lasagna, and cake!
It's perfect for getting peanut butter and jelly out of a jar with super smooth spreading or getting brownies out of the pan... But you’ll never use it on meat or large vegetables, that’s why you have your...

This “Large Utility Knife” is your everyday meat knife for chicken and small roasts. It’s also for large summer fruits and tough vegetables. Wait till you see this one glide through a pineapple!
The Turning Fork has three sharp tines make it easy to turn meats and veggies and get things out of jars. None of the pieces so far are used for larger foods, that’s why you have your...

This “Heavy Duty” knife disjoints large meats and is also great for melons and squash and separating frozen foods like hot dogs and hamburgers. It protects your other knives because it's the only piece in the basic set strong enough for those jobs... But it’s not a chopping knife, that’s why you have your...

The high knuckle clearance makes it comfortable & safer for dicing, mincing, and chopping. This “Delicate Chopper” is great for the 6 S’s—soup, salad, stir fry, stew, stuffing, & salsa! Chef knives are for chopping, not slicing; that’s why you have your...

It’s the best bread knife in the world, and the long DD edge makes it great for cutting cakes, shredding lettuce, and slicing boneless meats. But it’s not for anything with a bone; that’s why we have your...

It’s like your “Spare Tire”. You won’t use it every day, but you’ll be glad you have it!
Do you ever BBQ or host family dinners? You’ll need it for BBQ, big roasts, and family occasions.
Having both forks in the set is important; the turning fork picks food up while the carving fork holds meats down and is wide enough to go around the bones.
(Next Slide)
So, pretty much, the basic set is just four little knives, four big knives, and two forks.
Can you see how over a lifetime of cooking you’re going to use every tool in your basic set?
To complete your set, your Table Knives are used for every meal: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The wide blade and rounded tip makes it safer and great for spreading, but with the Double-D® edge, it cuts like a steak knife!
We recommend two Table Knives per family member so you don’t have to wash them after every meal.
Let’s see how our Table Knives work on some tough leather...

For customers who like the feel of a larger "steakhouse style" STEAK KNIFE, our two larger sets- The Family Set (Signature) and Complete Set (Ultimate)- they both come with the option of steak knives instead of table knives.
The Family Set (Signature) comes with 10 table knives or 10 steak knives and the Complete (Ultimate) comes with 12, so these sets are perfect for the holidays or when you have company over the house, or if you just don't want to run the dishwasher constantly you'll have some extra table knives or steak knives.

Mrs. ______, it would be dangerous to have really sharp knives floating in a drawer. Our sets come with a solid oak WOODBLOCK, which looks great on the counter. We also have STORAGE TRAYS for the drawer or on a wall.
Our sets come with a free cutting board. It’s important to use a soft plastic cutting board. Glass, granite, and marble cutting boards are too hard and will dull your knives.

To complement your Homemaker Set, we also have incredible KITCHEN TOOLS & GADGETS.
The 5-Piece Kitchen Tool Set matches the rest of your set and comes in a wood block for easy storage.
Our 4-piece Entertainer Pack has comfort-grip handles and is, of course, forever guaranteed.
(Next Slide)
It comes with our 4 most popular gadgets all in one pack. We're going to play these short videos one at a time starting with the...
Peeler- it peels in both directions! (Play video)
Ice Cream Scoop- it goes right through rock hard ice cream and is also great for getting the seeds out of melon (Play video)
Pizza Cutter- The blade comes out for easy cleaning (Play video)
Cheese Knife- Has holes so the cheese doesn't stick to it- it's also great for potatoes, apples, and pepperoni. This thing is awesome! (Play video)
Mrs. _______, let me review why so many people choose to invest in Cutco:
You’ll always have sharp American made knives that are comfortable, safe, and sanitary.
Cutco is guaranteed to last forever so it would be the last set of knives you’d ever buy.
And Cutco saves a lot of money! Most customers who buy Cutco eat out less...
If that saves $60 a month, it's $720 saved this year -- Over 25 years you'll save $18,000!
There are several reasons why so many customers choose sets:
Cutco sets have the right tool for the right job.
Cutco sets have a built-in discount.
Sets come with a FREE cutting board and other FREE STUFF.
Sets are much SAFER because they come in a block or tray.
And we have interest-free monthly investment options so you don’t have to pay for it all at once!
(Scroll Down to "Set Options" Slideshow, Go "Full Screen")
As I said earlier, our Homemaker+8 is our most popular set. It's perfect for families that cook 2-4 times a week. It has the ten basic tools I explained earlier, 8 Table Knives, the wood block, Cutting Board, and a sharpener for straight edges.
We also have a Homemaker set without Table Knives.
If you were considering a set of Cutco, would you prefer the set with the Table Knives?
The great thing is that it doesn't cost $5,032. In fact, it doesn't even cost as much as the Wusthof price of $2,930.
The Homemaker+8 Set is only $1,715 paid in full, which includes shipping. But most of our customers take advantage of our 5-month, interest-free, easy pay option which is only $343 today.
BUY NOW BONUS: We have a bonus where, if you buy now, I can give you the entire Kitchen Tool Set, the Entertainer Pack with those 4 popular gadgets, or a pair of Super Shears for FREE!
________, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask you: Would you like to try out the Homemaker Set today and get your FREE gifts?
