James Ski

15+ years of enterprise sales experience.

I’ve built and exited a start-up business and been part of the growth of early-stage British SaaS companies like Huddle as well as the unique environment of hypergrowth companies like Linkedin where I was a top EMEA performer and President Club Winner

I know what it takes to build teams, own territory, build pipeline and win business across multiple functions and geographies with a consultative and strategic approach. Command of the Message and MEDDIC trained.

Over 7 years I have helped companies via Sales Confidence like Salesloft, Zoominfo, Gong, 6Sense, Demandbase, Cognism, SimilarWeb and many others build brand awareness, land sales hires at all levels and grow their revenue in the UK and EMEA. 

Now I am helping sales teams leverage AI and get into more live conversations over the phone with Orum!

I’m also the author of the book “How to Build Sales Confidence” which you can check out on Amazon.
