Who runs Coached Into Debt, and why?
Coached Into Debt is a public-information site about the pressure tactics used in coaching, mastermind and live-event sales rooms. It is for anyone about to be sold, or just sold, a program in a room built to make them say yes today. An independent, non-commercial project publishes it. It names no one and is not legal advice.
Who is this site for?
Coached Into Debt is for anyone who is about to be sold, or has just been sold, a four- or five-figure program in a room designed to end in a yes. It is also for the people who sit beside them: a partner, a friend, an accountant. It is written for anyone in that room, and first for women building a business.
What does this site do?
Coached Into Debt names the moves, cites the science behind them, gives you a checklist for the room and a plain map of your options afterwards. It also gives you a consented, moderated place to tell what happened. The pages are The Room, The Playbook, The Science, Before You Sign and After You've Signed.
What does this site not do?
Coached Into Debt names no company, coach, program, event, venue or person, and it does not say any particular seller uses any tactic. It does not judge what anyone intended. It does not label any business. It is not legal advice and cannot resolve your dispute. It sells nothing. Where a regulator has made an allegation, the site says "the FTC alleged", not that it was found.
How are the facts on this site checked?
Every scientific and legal claim carries a source in the text and a source list at the foot of the page, with the date it was read. Where a finding is weak or contested, the page says so. Legal status lines say "as of" a date, and each page shows when it was last updated. A claim that cannot be sourced is left out. If you find an error, write to hello@coachedintodebt.org with the page and the line, and we will check it against the source and correct it.
Frequently asked questions about this site
Answers on sales, trust and affiliation.
Does this site sell anything?
No. It has no products, courses, coaching or paid placements. It carries no ads, affiliate links or sponsorships.
Can I trust a site that names no one?
Check the sources, not the author. Each claim links to a dated source, such as a regulator, a statute or a published study, so you can read it yourself. Where a source is a news report or a lab study, the page says what it can and cannot show.
Does this site endorse or oppose any coaching business?
No. It names none, so it can neither endorse nor oppose any. It describes tactics and what they are built to do.
What can you do next after reading about the site?
