  • The Trust Recession Killing Coaches in 2026
    May 18 2026

    Maximilian Saal helped his clients generate over 30 million in revenue, ran a single webinar that booked 630 sales calls in minutes, and built a company that did 4.8 million euros in 2024 with one employee. Now he reveals the exact system behind it and why most coaches will not survive the next two years.


    Maximilian Saal is the co-founder of SPEEDSCALING, the Cologne-based company helping coaches, consultants, and creators scale to 100k per month without an agency or a large team. Together with his co-founder Eric Steigner, he has put more than 6 million in paid ad spend to work, filled webinars with over 150,000 registrants, and guided more than 2,000 coaches through the same playbook he and Eric run themselves.


    He shares:

    ◼️ Why his first webinar succeeded even when he was too sick to speak

    ◼️ The 15 parts every high-converting webinar needs

    ◼️ The "trial closing" technique most coaches skip and why it kills sales

    ◼️ How a single July 2024 launch booked 630 sales calls in minutes

    ◼️ The plain white €4 CPL ad that broke their records

    ◼️ The exact ROAS number that tells you to rebuild your funnel

    ◼️ Why a 5k starting budget should never go to paid ads

    ◼️ Why AI rewards operators, not creators, and what that means for marketers

    ◼️ The "trust recession" reshaping the coaching industry

    ◼️ The unsexy advice for every coach stuck at 10k a month

    ◼️ The one thing every coach who survives 2028 will have in common
