I like to envision someone ringing a doorbell while holding a large carving knife and then wondering why no one ever answers. I bet the first rule of Cutco sales school is "don't take the knives out until you're in the house, and even then that's not a good idea".

To be fair, a cousin of mine got into Cutco right after high school and literally made millions off of it. They really are good knives despite the fact that they're like $200 each, and he lived in a pretty wealthy area in Florida. He's a good salesman, so he managed to make a pretty reasonable wage doing it.
But he's smart enough to know where the real money was and aggressively pursued a "management" job after a year or two. Regardless of what that says about his morals, he was raking in ~$100k/month at one point.
He eventually got out, moved to Colorado, and started a marijuana lifestyle magazine.
But anyway, the point is that these kinds of things usually DO result in SOME people making money. It's just usually not the masses.
