Summary

Each week, James Bissell and Rich Washington compare notes from the front line — what they're actually seeing across tech, sales, and growth. Two topics, ten minutes each, against the clock.


No theory. No fluff. Just real-world insight from two practitioners who are in it every day — one on the enablement side, one on the talent side — breaking down the most interesting, challenging, and important things happening right now, and what it actually means for you.


Set the chicken. We're on the clock. 🐔

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

    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.


    Set the chicken. We're on the clock.
