Todays guest is a man who is simply brilliant at knowing how to build relationships in business. Instead of doing what every other person does when they try to build connections, and valued connections, our guest knew that he had to step away from the crowd and do things a little differently. He started his entrepreneurial life whilst attending Malone University, when he started selling world famous Cutco Cutlery. And for him it was a job that he was good at, but it took a chance request by a father of a girl he was dating that exploded his success. Her Dad asked if he could engrave his name on a knife, which took a standard knife and turned it into something more persoanable, different and valued by the recipient. This one action showed him the power of giving value to building relationships. In five short years, he then went on to break nearly every sales record for Cutco distributors and landed himself in a different hall of fame – the Cutco Hall of Fame. He did it all before graduating and is now Cutco's No. 1 distributor of all time, out of over 1,000,000 distributors in the company's 60 year history. And with success breeds success and with the confidence achieved of doing things his own way, he then created as co-owner of Ruhlin Partners, a small private equity firm with interests in various companies (including Ruhlin Promotion Group). He is the co-author of the best-selling book "Cutting Edge Sales", a husband, a father and is a sought after speaker on the topic of relationship development and strategic gift giving. So had he planned to go this route when he started out, or did he have different dreams of what he wanted to achieve? Did he have people around him that supported his efforts, or was it all down to himself? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr John Ruhlin.
