Jim Keenan
KEENAN is known as "The Finder of the Elephant In The Room" and his fiery passion sets him apart as a globally recognized sales acceleration strategist, author, and speaker. He is the founder, CEO, and Chief Antagonist of A Sales Guy, Inc., a top-tier sales consulting and recruiting firm.

Forbes named Keenan amongst the Top 30 Social Salespeople In The World. Top Sales World Magazine has listed Keenan as a Top 50 Sales and Marketing Influencer every year since 2012.
Keenan's passion for problem solving reaches well beyond the sales and business world. He is the celebrated author of Not Taught: What It Takes to be Successful in the 21st Century That Nobody's Teaching You. The 21st Century has ushered in the information age, and with it a new set of rules for success. Not Taught shares how the rules of the industrial age no longer work and that if you want to be successful you must learn the new rules for success. Forbes calls Not Taught "an achievement, [buzzing] with electricity...with the narrative equivalent of a car chase." Chris Brogan, author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal Best Seller, Trust Agents, says "It's Red Bull for the brain!" The same characteristics can be said for the author himself.
Driving Keenan's success as a change creator, speaker, and lifelong learner is his unparalleled passion for embracing and thriving on change. His purpose: to get more out of people than they can get out of themselves and expand the boundaries of their possibility. His promise: to educate, motivate, inspire, entertain, and CHALLENGE his audience to greatness.
