So I was a Cutco / Vector Rep in Dan’s San Jose office during the late 90’s (and witnessed first hand Jon Bergoff’s jaw-dropping push periods).  It was an amazing, unique experience, and I still use the skills I learned there today.  I think nearly all former reps feel the same way.  My wife is also a former rep, and we will probably nudge our kids into selling knives when they are old enough.  

The podcast has been a cool way to reconnect with that experience and brush up on the skills and mindset that makes Vector special.

Super Cool

So many inspiring stories! So many useful tips and information! Is a great guide for life.
