Bio
Bill Walker
If James Dowdall was ever looking for a job I would hire him immediately. James possesses all the traits needed to be successful in business and in life. He brings a Partner/Customer first approach to every strategy, behavior and activity. He has the ability to engage with empathy and align Partner/Customer pain with resolutions and delivers value every time. His mastery of Digital Sales Motion has lead not only to his success but through his initiative drove meaningful pipeline and revenue with and for Partners. It was a pleasure to be part of the beginning of his career and I look forward to seeing his continued success.

I worked with James at Yellow Pages for some time. James started after myself in the same role as a Media Account Consultant position. As a veteran, I recognized James' talent almost instantly. No sense in using any buzzwords, he was simply a great salesman. Well spoken, clear, concise, and stayed away from the snake oil pitch that trips up so many. He sold the right solutions. I'm happy to say James and I enjoyed quite a bit of success together, and I believe I learned as much from him as he did from myself. I don't see any reason why James wouldn't succeed in any sales role, especially as he continues to grow and develop.
