Jim Lawyer has spent his career proving that the best salespeople don’t sell — they connect. For nearly four decades, he has trained, coached, and inspired thousands of professionals across North America, teaching them how to move beyond the pitch and anchor themselves to the power of trust, emotion, and story.

Jim first made his mark in the automotive industry, where he helped launch innovative platforms and trained hundreds of media sales representatives to sell into one of the most competitive markets in the world. His expertise has been sought after by dealerships, dealer groups, and Fortune 500 companies alike, giving him a front-row seat to how people buy — and why they don’t.

Today, as the founder of Pitchman Pens, a handcrafted luxury pen brand with a global following, Jim blends artistry with authenticity. His pens have become potent symbols of success, anchoring milestone moments for leaders and companies around the world. That same anchoring philosophy now drives his keynote speaking: stop selling, start connecting, and create bonds that endure.

Known for his contagious energy, powerful storytelling, and ability to connect with audiences in seconds, Jim’s keynotes leave people fired up, inspired, and equipped with tools they can use immediately. His platform, built on seven pillars, challenges professionals to rethink sales, leadership, and human connection itself.

Because, as Jim often says: “People don’t resist buying—they resist being sold. The way you show up makes all the difference.”
