This topic involved being a good perspective taker and tapping into your empathy side. The reason this stood out to me is because this was something I used in product demonstrations for Cutco. Whenever I would meet with someone who cooks a lot, I would pay attention to what cutlery was in their kitchen and point out the old looking knife set or block on the counter top and keep that in mind. It is pretty common when talking to avid cooks about kitchen ware and about how Cutco’s products solved problems that they have experienced, they mention something along the lines of “oh I hate when that happens to old stuff”. I ask them to show me what they mean and often times I am presented with a dull or damaged knife. This is where I bring up the story of my own personal experience with the product. When my dad moved out of my grandparent’s house, my grandma gave him a Cutco knife because he had no silverware. That knife has only been re-tipped and re-sharpened one time in over 30 years and that very knife sits in my parent’s silverware drawer as we speak. They would usually then tell me a story about how they had a knife malfunction after a very short period of time and were unable to fix it due to how cheap it was. I recommend the same style knife my dad owns and they get one every single time. It was all about using your perception of the kitchen and the customer’s situation. If it was apparent if they were more wealthy and could afford to replace whole knives after a few years, this example did not nearly mean as much to them as people who appreciated a good long lasting product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
