Jim Schartman is one of the country’s leading independent authorities on check printing contracts for regional and community banks. Jim was a top sales performer for one of the country’s largest check printing companies for more than 32 years. At a December, 2014 national sales meeting Jim was described as “perhaps the most honored and successful salesperson in the history of the company.” He builds extremely profitable check programs for his clients, reducing costs and optimizing fee income. Jim founded his own consulting firm, Check Printing Contract Consulting (CPCC) in early 2015. Since then, more than 175 institutions have chosen CPCC to negotiate their check printing agreement. His clients dramatically increase fee income WITHOUT increasing fees.
