In part 2 of our mental health series, Bill and Bryan explore what creates genuine confidence in sales and why it starts with something bigger than yourself.

They discuss the "divine assignment" concept, finding meaning in your work beyond financial gain, and how physical movement directly impacts emotional health.

If you struggle with walking on eggshells around buyers or feel desperate for outcomes, this episode offers practical remedies including discovering your purpose and becoming obsessed with customer problems instead of deal outcomes.

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bryan Neale is joined by the VP of Growth and Marketing at Sendoso, Patricia DuChene, to discuss how intentional gifting can be used as a strategic tool in modern sales. Rather than treating gifts as swag or gimmicks, their conversation reframes gifting as a human-first way to build trust, strengthen relationships, and create influence.

Bryan and Patricia explore why the most effective gifting focuses on people, not just decision-makers, and how timely, personalized gestures tied to real moments can open doors that traditional outreach often cannot. They also break down why active listening should be a measurable sales behavior, and how capturing personal details in the CRM enables more authentic, relevant engagement over time.

The episode also looks at how gifting fits into execution — from prospecting to post-sale adoption — and why treating it as a consistent activity metric, supported by tools like Sendoso, can be a powerful tool for sales teams looking to stand out without pressure or gimmicks.

Bill and Bryan launch a vital series on mental health in sales—a topic that's rarely discussed but critically important. After Bill's month-long absence dealing with family tragedies, they dive into why salespeople face unique mental health challenges: quota pressure, identity tied to numbers, comparison traps, and the constant pursuit of an unreachable horizon.

Bryan shares his panic attack story from his P&G days (confusing a cardiologist visit for what turned out to be anxiety), while Bill opens up about avoidance behaviors and the realization that mental health issues don't discriminate based on success level.

This isn't about coddling—it's about real tools, tough love, and practical steps to tend to your mental health. They're inviting listeners to share what they want covered in the remaining episodes via the LinkedIn community.
