What People Are Saying
“These are skills Mr. Williams says he has touted in every job search he’s conducted and used every job he’s worked in. What’s more, he and others say, the experience has caught the eye of recruiters and interviewers.”
-Sarah E. Needleman, Wall Street Journal
“Successful people credit Cutco, the company that recruits college kids to sell knives, with teaching them business lessons that last for life”
-Mark Abadi, Business Insider
“One way or another, successful entrepreneurs need to be able to convince other people to do stuff — aka ”sell.” Whether it’s getting a venture capitalist to invest, an engineer to quit their day job to join your startup, a customer to buy your product or your co-founder to agree with your decision, a solid grasp of how to pitch and close is handy, if not fundamental.”
-Chester Ng, Entrepreneur
“Vector Marketing for Cutco creates a supportive, innovative and positive working environment for students.”
-Lauren Robers, College Magazine
All-American Scholarships
Every year, we give away a total of $50,000 to full-time undergraduate students who excel at selling Cutco. In the fall and spring, the top 25 students qualify, and during the summer it's awarded to the top 50.
Don't worry, no essay is required. But, it takes a ton of hard work and persistence to earn this.
Why Students?
We are one of the largest student recruiters in the country, and with good reason. Our schedules are flexible, sales experience helps in any field of study and getting paid weekly is awesome when you're on a college budget.
Flexible Schedules
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 while other are looking for a full-time career opportunity.
Professional Training
New sales representatives participate in a two or three-day training session at the local office or virtually. 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.
