The sentence "Jim never did cotton to the sales side of the business" could be rephrased "Jim did not cotton to the sales side of the business", so the operative phrase is not "to do cotton to" but "to cotton to", and to cotton to something or someone means to like or to feel an affinity for that thing or person. So, the fact that Jim did not cotton to the sales side of the business means that he didn't like or understand it.
