1. Why the Gold Programm Is So Talked About

A recurring pattern among many experts: professionally brilliant, but practically invisible. You deliver great results, your clients love you – and still you’re more of a “insider tip” than a visible authority brand. This disconnect between expertise and market visibility is exactly the problem the Gold Programm claims to solve.

Hermann Scherer positions his seminar as a business accelerator that helps you transition from “hidden champion” to sought-after specialist. In this Gold Programm test and review, we wanted to know: can four extremely intensive days realistically trigger a business turnaround – or is it primarily a cleverly staged event with a lot of show?

2. Who Is Hermann Scherer?

To fairly judge the Gold Programm, it helps to look at the person behind it. Hermann Scherer is far from a theoretical trainer; he is considered a heavyweight in the German-speaking expert and speaker scene.

• Over 3,000 keynotes delivered worldwide to more than one million people
• Author of around 60 books, many of them bestsellers, translated into numerous languages
• Founder of more than 30 companies – he has built and scaled several businesses himself
• Former lecturer at universities in Jena and Berlin

His guiding principle is “being bought instead of having to sell”. The idea: by positioning yourself so clearly and attractively, you attract inquiries instead of chasing clients. In German-speaking countries he is seen as one of the leading practitioners in the field of positioning and visibility. This practical background plays a clear role in the design of the Gold Programm, which – important to repeat – is held entirely in German.

3. Who the Gold Programm Is (and Isn’t) For

Our experience-based assessment shows: the Gold Programm is not a fit for everyone. It’s intense, fast-paced and requires a high willingness to perform. Based on our test and review, the following participant profiles benefit most:

• Coaches & consultants who want to justify and achieve significantly higher fees
• Speakers who need professional stage videos and want to gain real performance experience
• Entrepreneurs and service providers who want to be perceived as leading experts in their niche
• Specialists / experts who are excellent at their craft but still largely invisible online
• Authors and aspiring authors aiming at building an expert brand around their book

Less suitable, according to our experience report, is the Gold Programm for people who:

• are looking for a “get rich quick” formula without personal effort
• expect a relaxed workshop with lots of free time and little pressure
• have major issues with the German language – remember, this is a German-language seminar

If you’re willing to work intensively on yourself and your positioning for four days, the program can be a powerful catalyst. If you’re hoping for a magic pill, you’re likely to be disappointed.

4. Inside the Gold Programm: What You Actually Get

One of the central promises of the Gold Programm is a clear, structured concept: a 10-step marketing and positioning framework. In our test and review, we looked at how this is implemented in practice.

The 10 Strategic Modules

1. Market: Clarifying your market environment, competitors and untapped opportunities – where can you realistically dominate?
2. Positioning: Sharpening your personal brand so people immediately “get” who you are and what you stand for.
3. Fees & pricing: Moving away from underpricing toward a fee structure that fits your value.
4. Profile: Developing a brand image that secures you a memorable place in your audience’s mind.
5. Books & media: How to use books, interviews and media presence as credibility multipliers.
6. Performance: Stage impact, storytelling and presence – “stage brings stage”, as Scherer likes to say.
7. Social media: Translating your positioning into online content that actually generates inquiries.
8. Client acquisition & sales: Designing your business so that ideal clients find and choose you more easily.
9. PR & public relations: Working effectively with press, podcasts and other multipliers.
10. Monetisation: Turning your ideas, know-how and performances into scalable revenue streams.

In our user experience, these modules aren’t treated as abstract theory, but are consistently linked to practical exercises and direct implementation steps.

Evening Events: Where Theory Meets Adrenaline

A distinctive part of the Gold Programm – and often mentioned in participant experience reports – are the evening formats. They are intense, sometimes challenging, and clearly designed to push you out of your comfort zone.

• Silent Speaker Battle: Several participants on stage at once, the audience listens via headphones and decides. A tough but effective training for focus, message clarity and performance.
• “Light your fire” night: An evening dedicated to breaking internal barriers. Emotional, confronting, and for many a turning point in their self-image as an expert.
• Speaker Slam: You have only a few minutes – typically four – to deliver your core message, often in front of cameras and livestream. Enormous pressure, but also an immense learning experience.
• Gold Night: Formal evening, certificate presentation and high-level networking in a glamorous setting. For some a bit “showy”, for others a milestone moment in their expert journey.

Our review shows: these evenings are a core element of the user experience and strongly shape how transformative participants perceive the Gold Programm to be.

5. Our Practical Experience & Test: How Does It Actually Feel?

During our Gold Programm test and research for this review, one aspect stood out clearly: the speed of implementation. This is not one of those seminars where you collect a notebook full of ideas and then get stuck in everyday life.

Instead, you typically leave the event with tangible assets that you can directly use in your marketing:

• Professional photos: Several photo shoots in different settings (stage, portrait, action) for your website, press kit, and social media
• Video and audio content: Interview recordings, stage footage and often podcast-style segments that you can use for visibility
• Business contacts: Access to publishers, agencies, media partners and, of course, other high-caliber participants

Our honest impression: the days are long, the nights short, and the schedule is packed. For many, this “positive stress” is exactly what they need to finally get out of planning mode and into execution. Those who prefer a very gentle, slow learning environment may struggle – but in our experience report, that intensity was a key element of the perceived value.

6. Price–Performance: Is the Gold Programm Worth the Money?

No serious review can ignore the price. Attending the Gold Programm, especially if you book at the regular rate, is a substantial investment.

• Standard price: Often quoted at around 9,990 € and in some configurations even significantly higher when additional coaching is included
• Promotional price / deals: Frequently available around 4,990 € plus VAT, including conference package for the event days

From a cost perspective, you’re not paying for “four days of seminar” in the narrow sense. You’re paying for:

• an intensive strategy framework for your positioning
• professionally produced media material (photos, videos, interviews)
• access to an established expert network and press contacts
• a strong credibility signal (“I’ve been through the Gold Programm with Hermann Scherer”)

In our experience report, the decisive factor is the Return on Investment (ROI). If your refined positioning and new visibility help you land even one substantial client project, the fee may already be recovered. Taken in isolation, high-class photo and video production plus PR support easily reach similar cost ranges.

7. Advantages and Disadvantages – An Honest Balance

To give you a solid decision base, here is a condensed pros-and-cons list from our Gold Programm test and user experience.

Advantages

• Execution instead of theory: You leave with finished marketing assets, not just slide decks and notes.
• Strong peer group: The participant level is generally high – valuable for cooperation, referrals and inspiration.
• Direct access to Hermann Scherer: His energy, speed and practical experience are a real driver for many.
• Credibility boost: Certificate, media material and the Scherer brand can significantly strengthen your external perception.

Disadvantages

• Very high intensity: Long days, short nights – physically and mentally demanding.
• Staged show factor: The glamorous staging (red carpet, Gold Night, etc.) may feel “too much” for some personalities.
• Price barrier: Even with discounts, the investment is substantial and requires a clear business case.
• Language requirement: As a German-language program, it’s only suitable if your German is strong enough to follow complex business content.

8. Gold Programm Criticism & Seriousness

In our research for this review we also looked at external experience reports, ratings and criticism. The key question: Is the Gold Programm legit?

Based on our test and the many testimonials, our conclusion is: yes, it is a serious and established program. Hermann Scherer has been active for decades and his brand is closely tied to measurable results and client success stories. On rating platforms, the Gold Programm consistently receives high to top marks.

The main criticism that occasionally appears concerns the “hype level” and aggressive marketing style. Our view: if someone teaches visibility, loud branding and strong positioning, it would be strange if their own marketing were quiet and restrained. The program delivers exactly what it promises: a massive increase in visibility – provided you engage with the process and implement consistently.

9. Final Verdict: Our Recommendation

After an in-depth test, reviewing participant feedback and evaluating our own impressions, our verdict on the Gold Programm von Hermann Scherer is clearly positive – with the important caveat that it is not a casual feel-good event, but a high-intensity business boot camp in German.

If you are:

• an expert with real substance
• ready to work very hard on yourself and your positioning for four concentrated days
• committed to using the resulting media material and contacts strategically

…then the Gold Programm can be a real accelerator, effectively shortening your journey to a strong expert brand by months or even years.

From our perspective as reviewers, the combination of concept, implementation and practical output justifies the price – for those who come prepared and treat the seminar as the starting point of a strategic visibility plan rather than as a one-off “event experience”.

Overall rating: Very good – especially for ambitious, German-speaking experts who want to scale their visibility quickly and sustainably. ⭐
