The Anxiety Epidemic in Sales: Why Going Back to Basics Beats Chasing Technology

What's really happening inside sales organizations right now? According to Tom Batchelder—sales coach, painter, and Tuesday video creator—there's an anxiety epidemic running through companies that no amount of AI or automation can solve. In this candid conversation, Bill and Tom dissect the current state of sales coaching and what salespeople are actually dealing with beneath the surface. Tom shares what he's seeing: professionals anxious about getting attention, worried about world events, and frantically searching for the next technology to save them. But the real problem? They haven't mastered the basics. Tom breaks down the difference between clients who can admit they're anxious versus those who hide behind questions about technology and pipeline. He shares his "back to basics" framework that starts with calming down and focusing on what you can control.
