My typical work day begins with getting up between 6:30 and 7AM and eating a healthy breakfast of oatmeal and fruit with my husband, Mike. I usually read a few pages of my book or Newsweek. I then get ready, check my email briefly, then head out of the house around 8 or 8:30AM to either meet with a realtor or mortgage lender or present Cutco gifts at a realtor sales meeting.
I usually do a 7-minute presentation about Cutco engraved closing gifts at 2-3 realtor offices per week and book my day with appointments and phone calls until 5 or 6PM each day. I average between 4 and 6 appointments per day. I like to end my work day by 6PM, when I usually go for a run in downtown St. Louis then cook dinner with Mike. Sometimes we meet friends out for dinner, go to a Cardinals baseball game, or visit with my siblings, parents, and 2 nephews, who all also live in St. Louis.
I usually do 2-5 residential appointments per week; I love my past customers over the last 8 years or so! I spend most of my work days meeting with realtors, lenders, and business owners. I transitioned from residential selling to more business selling in 2007, and I love it. Selling engraved Cutco gifts to businesses not only helps them brand themselves better with their gifts than gift cards and food items, but it also provides us representatives with a tremendous opportunity to gain a residual income selling Cutco knives.
