She was an enabler.  She was telling him that he was a good salesman

Linda's role as Willy's wife is to enable Willy's dreams about his job and about his relationship with Biff being repaired. While the role Linda plays in Willy's life -- devoted helpmate -- isn't considered the norm now (whether it ever was or not), it's still true that dreamers like Willy need and crave someone who will pretend to believe in their dreams. It is because Biff no longer believes in Willy's dreams -- that he's a successful salesman and a good father -- that their relationship ruptured.

Linda: You’ve got too much on the ball to worry about.

Willy: You’re my foundation and my support, Linda.

Linda: Just relax, dear. You make mountains out of molehills
