Jim S. HinshawJIM HINSHAW | President & Founder of SIP Inc.

Upon graduating from the University of Missouri at Rolla, Jim started his career with the Trane Co. After several sales positions, he moved to Phoenix, where as manager of Trane’s residential division, he enjoyed a 50% market penetration. Jim’s background includes positions as President of one of the oldest and largest air conditioning companies in Arizona, residential start-up specialist for a major manufacturer, and an officer in a Carrier owned service agency.

For nine years Jim served as Vice President of a 23 year old residential and light commercial service and replacement company, running their sales and installation division. During his time there, his division grew 300%, replacement sales topped $3,000,000 per year, and company closure rate exceeded 60%. So how good is Jim? Even though Jim’s price was always 10% to 50% higher than his competition, his closing ratio on replacement systems averaged a phenomenal 80%! He enjoys training sales, technical, and management team members with companies that want to increase profits and grow to the next level.

Jim has provided high-results training for clients from Calgary, Canada to Adelaide, Australia. Jim retired from the contracting business in 1999 when he formed his own training company, Sales Improvement Professionals, dedicated to bringing his real-world experience to help enhance your sales and marketing efforts.

Testimonials

I've known Jim for nearly 20 years, since his days with Climate Control. He was ahead of the curve in his sales approach then and that continues to this day. Several times I called on Jim to serve as a speaker to share his knowledge with other contractors. Jim was always gracious and generous about helping others and is a terrific speaker. He's since moved on to become a top consultant and sales trainer in the world of in-home sales. He's enthusiastic, upbeat, and high energy as a trainer. He's got a load of real world lessons from the trenches to share, making him highly credible with any group. He'll deliver!
