Shifting careers isn’t always linear — sometimes it’s messy, surprising, and exactly what’s needed. Trevor Grimes sits down with Amanda Hall, Account Manager at Scrappy ABM, to unpack her journey from teaching every grade level imaginable to designing products at an edtech startup and eventually shaping sales content that actually worked.
ㅤ
Amanda shares how creating simple, problem-focused one-pagers became her most effective sales enablement tool, why convincing a CEO to update messaging requires both empathy and A/B testing, and how customer feedback drove every piece of content she produced. From live demos to FAQs to onboarding guides, Amanda shows how resourceful teams can build trust and adoption through content-led strategies that focus less on features and more on real customer needs.

Listeners will walk away with actionable ideas for building content that speaks the customer’s language, avoids wasted effort, and drives both sales and long-term product adoption.
