Surprising Results: Selling a 5" Utility Knife at My Shows!

[PCMelissa]

I do not know why, but I was surprised at how many people bought the 5" utility knife at my shows... I don't know why. I didn't mention it at my first and no buyers, than the second and third I mentioned it was the "Try Me"Piece, and that really worked, several people are "trying" it. Amazing how just following the PC training actually works

Melissa - I love that piece and sell a ton! Bring a potato to your shows and as you are telling them about the quality and specs of the knife, allow them to cut the potato with it - when they try it - they will by it or book to get it free or discounted!!

A tomato works great, too. I sold several when I showed how thin it could be sliced (you could almost see through it). Once they tried it, they were hooked. Congrats on qualifying!

This is my #1 used and most favorite knife! I always pass it around so folks can feel how well made and how balanced they are...

I LOVE the utility knife! Even my roomate (the PC skeptic) loves it.

I have an old self-sharpening knife with an old style cover. The knife itself is the same. Do you think that I should bring it to my next show so they can see the difference between the two knives?
