The Trust Recession: Why Coaches Must Sell Differently in 2026


Listen Later

If you’ve been side-eyeing social media, this one will feel like a deep exhale. Amanda Walker—“the coach that coaches coaches” with 25+ years of experience—breaks down how to get clients in a skeptical market by building trust that sticks. We talk about why posting more isn’t the answer, what RGAs (revenue-generating activities) actually look like, and how small-buy offers + radical transparency speed up buying decisions. She also shares the real story behind taking 55 days off social while bringing in $52K, and why you’re only ever 80% certain—so ship the B+ work and move.

We’ll unpack:
  • Why social is a nurture channel—not your primary client source
  • The trust recession (and how to sell with transparency)
  • RGAs: the under-the-iceberg moves that actually create revenue
  • How small-buy offers accelerate trust + conversions
  • Messaging in 2025: hyper-specific who + problem
  • The mindset reframe: you’re only ever 80% certain—decide and move
