Jim Mathers is a Vice President Sales at Ames Taping Tools at Ames Taping Tools. He possess expertise in sales management, sales, sales operations, contract negotiation, leadership and 37 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Mentor” and “Coach” are the first two words that come to mind when describing Jim Mathers. We met at a Strategic Sales meeting in 2001, after his prior company had been acquired by Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation. Jim made a presentation outlining the stratification of our customers across various revenue buckets, drawing conclusions leading to his targeted sales plan (he was rolling this out through North America). To say that this was a compelling presentation would be understatement; it was the first time a new sales strategy had been supported by such powerful, well assembled quantitative evidence. Combine this with Jim’s presentation style (He is arguably the most dynamic speaker I have ever seen) – and the results were guaranteed. Even the most cynical in the audience were motivated and excited leaving the room that day – and success followed. As a result, over the years Jim developed a very large “following” among people he worked with, and I’m proud to say that I was part of this group. From Sales Strategy to recommended reading or just good, pragmatic advice, Jim was constantly coaching his team to success, at the same time setting a solid example of “Put in the work and the results will follow”. It was truly my pleasure to work with Jim for the past 8 years." and "Jim is one of the most forward-thinking dynamic marketing/sales managers I've worked with in my 23 years in sales."
