  • Champion Burnout & the Culture Metric | Field Notes Ep. 2
    2026/05/21

    Two topics. Against the clock.


    James opens with something he sees constantly — deals that look live and aren't. He gets into why champions burn out mid-process, why buyers go dark on the people they like most, and what the research says is the single biggest factor in whether a deal closes or dies.


    Rich follows with a metric most businesses aren't tracking, even though it takes five minutes to measure and will tell you more about the health of your culture than any employee survey ever will.


    New episodes every week with James Bissell and Rich Washington.


    Set the chicken. We're on the clock.

  • Pipeline Bloat & the Leadership Trait You Can't Find on a CV | Field Notes Ep. 1
    2026/05/14

    Welcome to the first episode of Field Notes.


    Two topics. Against the clock.


    James opens with something he's seeing across almost every sales org he works with right now — pipelines that look healthy and aren't. He gets into why it keeps happening, and what needs to change before you spend another penny on training.


    Rich follows with something two of the most elite EMEA Sales VPs he's ever interviewed both said, word for word, about how they ran their teams. One phrase. Two completely different companies. And a hiring insight that most sales leaders are missing entirely.


    New episodes every week with James Bissell and Rich Washington.
