What happens when a lowkey, down to earth guy from Louisiana drops five $50K+ pushes without a silver cup or flashy event booths? You get Alex Noel—the Demo Demolisher, the bayou king of in-homes, and one of the most slept-on killers in the Cutco game.

In this episode of the No Base Pay Podcast, Alex pulls back the curtain on how he's quietly built a million-dollar Cutco business off pure referrals, old-school appointments, and a belief that where you're from doesn’t define what’s possible. We talk mindset, daily routines, emotional resilience, how he turned “doing demos” into a six-figure career post-college, and why CSPs need to stop sleeping on their most profitable sales pillar.

He drops tactical scripts, advanced referral psychology, push strategy, faith-based motivation, and how he's using Cutco as a launchpad for financial freedom. Plus: gym discipline, family impact, saving vs. spending, and why most reps burn out after a win.
