John Ruhlin Biography

John Ruhlin is a relationships speaker and the founder of the Ruhlin Group. Holding the record as the #1 seller in Cutco's history, he not only excels in sales but also in transforming the art of gifting into strategic relationship building. His profound understanding of gift-giving as a business strategy has made him a sought-after keynote speaker on topics including Employee Engagement, Marketing, Relationships, Sales, and Strategy.

Having started his career influenced by "Attorney Paul," Ruhlin mastered the art of leveraging generosity to seal the largest deals ever recorded by Cutco from among 1.5 million other representatives and distributors. His approach extends beyond mere transactional interactions to include thoughtful considerations of clients’ personal connections, such as their families and assistants. This unique strategy has paved the way for him to share his insights on prominent stages across the country, educating sales and marketing teams on building impactful connections.

Today, Ruhlin and his team not only craft specialized gift packages for some of the most renowned companies and professional sports teams globally, but they also passionately serve mid-sized, privately owned businesses to elevate their relational dynamics. His book "Giftology" encapsulates his philosophy and practical applications that have proven successful across various industries. Ruhlin's expertise is further showcased through his keynote programs like "STORM THE CASTLE: Opening Doors With Your Dream 100 Clients" and "RELATIONSHIP ACTION PLAN."
