Testimonials

Hi Sal,

" Being a manufacturer rep for 19 years I am impressed with CMT management, products and the marketing materials are second to none.

Sal Taro our National Sales Manager with CMT had been great to work with, his experience, knowledge and eagerness to help and educate us on the product is second to none amongst the people we work with, one of the strongest, most dynamic Sales Managers I have ever worked with.

CMT simply put is the one of most well rounded manufacturer in industry. There selection of tools for cutting, shaping and boring wood is the broadest in the industry. With that they have become recognized as a go to company for high quality tools and service. "

Sal,

I have had the pleasure to represent CMT for over 10 years. It is an important part of my overall sales. As a team, they are one of the most professional organizations when it comes to Customer Service. Their responsiveness when issues do arise is exemplary and they are always customer-focused which ensures we help our customers win in the market. Individually, Sal Taro, our National Sales manager, has been an absolute asset as a leader for the team and for the representatives, like me, and for building CMT’s success with our customers and within the market.

Take it from one of his supervisors regarding a CMT line review:

From: Ray Geiger Sent: Monday, August 7, 2023 9:20 AM

"After many attempts by Sal Taro (National Sales Mgr) to convince PG Tool Sales Agency to become their reps for the Mid-Atlantic states, we accepted their agreement on May 1, 2022. If it wasn’t for Sal’s dedication to CMT and his persuasive nature, PG Tool may have missed one of its best opportunities in many years. Sal asked us to give it a year for CMT to prove its worth on our line card. In the first six months we achieved a 40% growth, signing many new accounts with the joint efforts of Sal supported by the CMT customer service team. Since Jan 2023, our territory is up 135% and still going strong! Sal’s leadership has been a key sales driver for our success. His enthusiasm and professionalism are infectious. He is truly a manager you enjoy working with, and we know he appreciates our efforts. "

" Some other exceptional experiences:

CMT Literature is first class. We’ve always had enough to support our sales presentations.
Promotions: Consistent, on-going, and effective promotions that get orders.
Samples: We are believers in the “show and sell” process. Sal makes sure we always have product to put in the hands of our prospects.
Displays: From design, CMT displays are first class and showcase their products with impulse.
Terms: CMT takes care of their distributor partners with attractive offers and rewards.
Service: CMT does not over-promise and under-deliver. Shipments are easy to receive and ready to get placed on display.
Friendly: An experience with a touch of Southern charm.

We would strongly recommend CMT as a great place to work and to represent their company and products."
