About the Company
Experience Matters Consulting was founded on a single, critical observation: too many business owners are trapped in the daily grind, leaving no room to work on their legacy. Originally established in 2012 by Nick Metheny, the firm rebranded in 2026 to reflect a sharpened focus on high-impact strategic advisory. We leverage over two decades of cross-industry insights to help businesses transition from "stuck" to "scalable."
About The Founder
Nick Metheny brings a rare 35-year dual perspective to his clients, blending high-stakes corporate leadership with the grit of independent business ownership.
Executive Tenure & Entrepreneurial Success With a foundational background in Business Administration and Marketing, Nick spent 17 years mastering the mechanics of recruiting and direct sales. This period served as the launchpad for a 20-year career as a serial entrepreneur, during which he founded and scaled multiple successful startups and franchise locations.
Corporate Leadership & Scale Beyond his own ventures, Nick has held Director and C-level positions within the Franchise Corporate Structure. His most notable impact includes:
-
Strategic Coaching: Personally coaching over 40% of top 20 franchisees of a $150M franchise system.
-
Global Training: Leading professional development for groups of up to 500 attendees, ranging from account executives to C-suite peers.
-
Academic Contributions: Serving as an instructor for 400-level sales courses at Purdue University.
The Mission
Today, Nick leverages this vast experience to provide deep-dive, one-on-one consulting. He is dedicated to helping business owners transition from the role of "operator" to "visionary," ensuring that their businesses are built to thrive—not just survive.
Nick’s training system streamlines business growth by providing sales and management teams with turn-key, high-impact operational models.

"I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working alongside Nick for a little over 30 years, and over that time I’ve come to admire not only his professionalism and expertise, but also the kind of person he is.
Nick has always had a unique ability to connect with people, build trust, and bring calm, thoughtful guidance to even the most challenging situations. He listens carefully, leads with integrity, and genuinely cares about helping others succeed. Those qualities are rare, and they are a big part of why so many people enjoy working with Nick and continue to seek out his advice and leadership.
What makes Experience Matters Consulting such a fitting name is that Nick truly brings a lifetime of experience, perspective, and wisdom to the table. But beyond the experience itself, he brings authenticity, kindness, and a practical approach that makes people feel supported and confident moving forward.
I feel fortunate to have known and been friends with Nick for so many years and have seen firsthand the positive impact he has had on colleagues, clients, and friends alike, myself included. I have no doubt that anyone who works with Nick will quickly understand why he is so highly respected and trusted.
I recommend Nick wholeheartedly.
Heidi Heigel (Denver CO)
Director of Business Development
"I worked with Nick for seven years and found a lot of success due to his guidance and his encouragement. He helped me in working through both the nuances of that franchise opportunity and in just becoming a business owner that left the “safe harbor” of a corporate profession. With patience and a smile, he was always willing to go over topics we’d already discussed times in the past for which I simply needed reminding and his sales training is full of techniques I still use to this day. I’m very thankful we had the opportunity to work together."
Craig Hixon- Carmel Indiana
Chief Operating Officer
Ultimate Technology Group
"I have had the pleasure of working with Nick intermittently for years. Four years ago i was named the Big Dog Award winner (top franchisee) for the N2 Comany. The next two years were both record breaking years, but I worried about being able to continue to surpass previous years' production, so i reached out to Nick for coaching. The result? Another record, by a large margin. Nick is one of those people who can always find a way to motivate people and coax them to reach new levels in their business. I highly recommend him as a mentor or coach!"
RC Smith (Dallas TX)
Franchise Owner

"What sets Nick apart is how he coaches. He doesn't hand you the answers- he guides you to them. That approach helped me develop real confidence and ownership in my work, because i was learning how to think, not just what to say especially when it comes to sales, decision-making and marketing."
Heidi Platusic (Indianapolis IN)
Stroll Franchise Owner
"Nick has a unique ability to turn complexity into simple, digestible ideas that are actionable."

"Nick was instrumental in helping me launch my first business back in 2013. He taught me a lot about sales, building a sales process, and making smart decisions as the business started to grow.
He’s great at simplifying things and helping you focus on what actually matters. I’m very grateful for the impact he had on my journey as an entrepreneur and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow their business.
Evan Winters (Lansing, MI)
CEO & President of Able Eyes
"Working with Nick is truly a great experience for business owners who are serious about getting better and want someone who can share valuable advice and insights and hold you accountable to doing the hard things that bring about the changes necessary for growth. If you need a business consultant that will be honest with you and hold you accountable to change, I highly recommend Nick Metheny.
Jeannine Johnson (Savannah, GA)
Business Owner
"I have worked with Nick several times to grow my business and I always find his advice extremely beneficial. He is very knowledgeable in advertising and business development. I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick for anything related to business process and/or growth
Jeff Dettwiler, DC ( Indianapolis IN)

"Nick and I worked together for many years. Nearly two decades. I watched him train business owners to improve their sales skills and give them the confidence needed to succeed. He has traveled to countless cities to spend time with these business owners face to face, to really understand how they were running their operation, and then make suggestions on how they could improve. He understands the psychology of selling, handling objections, building value in the product or service, and closing the deals. For any business to succeed, it must be able to sell its product or service. Nick truly understands this process and is able to teach it.
Duane Hixon Wilmington North Carolina
Co-founder of The N2 Company
"I’ve been very fortunate throughout my sales career to work with mentors and coaches. No matter how seasoned you become, having a coach has always benefited both me and my business.
When I started with N2, I was new to the sales presentation and the quicker sales cycle. Nick worked closely with me to fine-tune my presentation and quickly identified that my area in Miami was truly an international hub. With a few strategic adjustments, I immediately began closing more deals and felt significantly more confident.
One of his greatest strengths is his ability to quickly assess what needs to be adjusted, allowing people to pivot efficiently and reach their goals much faster than expected.
Jennifer Squillante (Miami Florida)
Franchisee
"Nick has had a lasting impact on the way I approach leadership, especially by helping me recognize, and fully tap into, my talents and abilities to lead others. Through his guidance, I became more aware of my strengths and how to apply them in a leadership role. Nick consistently encouraged me to trust my instincts while also challenging me to think more strategically, which helped me grow into a more self-assured and capable leader. He wasn't afraid to push me beyond my comfort zone in shaping my leadership style into one that was firm, yet fair. Nick unlocked the vision of balancing accountability with empathy which has made me more confident in articulating my ideas and leading with both authority and approachability"
Katie Redding (Baton Rouge, LA)
Launch Manager
Franchise Owner
"I've known Nick since I started my venture 13years ago with the N2 Company and have always looked up to him because of his roles in leadership with the company. He’s a great family guy, business owner and is well respected in the sales community.
