In this episode of the SaaS Sales Performance Podcast, host Matt Milligan sits down with Tanvir Bhangoo and former college football player turned commercial leader, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Pro Business Mindset.

Tanvir is the Founder of TBX Digital, where he helps organizations unlock elite performance under pressure by applying principles from sports to business.

Together, they explore how sales and revenue leaders can build resilience, sharpen execution, and lead teams through market turbulence by focusing on process, mindset, and fundamentals, not just pipeline velocity.

✅ Why "training camp" fundamentals matter more than ever in tough markets
✅ How to reset your mindset and team habits during a downturn
✅ What true leading indicators of enterprise performance look like
✅ Why in-person connection is becoming a competitive advantage again
