Setback to Interview Ready

A short, actionable playbook for SaaS AEs and Sales Managers who've hit a wall — missed quota, laid off, or just shaken — and are ready to rebuild their confidence and walk into their next interview prepared.

You're more hireable
than
you think you are.

A setback in SaaS sales hits differently. Your number is public. Your confidence takes the hit. And suddenly you're not sure how to talk about what happened — in interviews, on LinkedIn, or even to yourself.

You missed quota

It wasn't your best year. Maybe the territory was new, the market shifted, or the product wasn't there yet. You know you're capable of more — but you're not sure how to tell that story without it sounding like excuses.

You're doubting yourself

You've been in sales long enough to know you're good at this. But something shook you — and now every interview feels higher stakes than it should. You need to reset before you go further.

You were laid off

The decision had nothing to do with your performance — but it doesn't feel that way. You're ready to move, but the job search feels heavier than it should. You need a plan and your confidence back.

You're ready — but not prepared

But knowing you're ready and being able to prove it in a 30-minute interview are two different things. The pitch, the numbers, the hard questions. Let's fix that before your next call.

What’s inside?

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Three focused modules, three coaching workbooks, and a clear path from where you are right now to walking into your next interview with confidence.

The Truth About Setbacks

The market is hard.

That doesn't make you a bad rep.

Most SaaS sellers who have seen success, but hit a wall aren't underperformers. They're people who had a bad year, a bad territory, a bad product-market fit — and haven't figured out how to tell that story yet.

That's exactly what this is for.


Missing quota once doesn't define your career.

How you talk about it in an interview does. We'll build the answer that shows growth, not just struggle.

Layoffs happen to top performers too.

The right framing makes it a non-issue in under 30 seconds.

Confidence is something you build. Not something you have.

With evidence, stories, and a clear picture of what you've actually accomplished.

You've closed deals under pressure before.

The job search is just another demo. Let's treat it the right way.

Hi, I’m Amanda Rice.

I've spent my career in SaaS sales — as a rep, a leader, and now as a coach who's helped hundreds of sales professionals navigate career pivots, setbacks, and major transitions.

I know what hiring managers are actually looking for. I know what makes a candidate memorable — and what makes them easy to pass on. And I know what it feels like to have a year that didn't go the way you planned — and how to come back from it.

This course is what I wish someone had handed me. Everything I give 1:1 clients — the frameworks, the workbooks, the interview prep — distilled into something you can access right now, at a price that makes sense when you're in the middle of a job search.
