Coach Launch Responds to Rising Sales Resistance by Championing Virtual Events for Entrepreneurial Success
Melbourne, Australia, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As businesses navigate an era of heightened sales resistance and growing distrust driven by AI-generated content, Coach Launch, a Melbourne-based consultancy with a global client base, has announced a strategic initiative to help entrepreneurs embrace virtual events as a scalable solution to rebuild engagement and trust. The company now offers tailored online virtual event consulting designed to replace outdated sales tactics with immersive, rapport-building digital Skepticism Fuels a New Sales Era Across industries, sales teams are encountering a new form of resistance—one deeply tied to the rise of artificial intelligence and automation in marketing. Potential buyers are becoming more selective, with an increased focus on authenticity and real-time engagement. According to recent findings, traditional one-to-one selling methods are proving costly and increasingly ineffective, while automated systems often fail to create the trust needed to convert modern customers. In response, businesses are shifting their approach, and Coach Launch is leading the way by offering a consulting model that focuses on high-impact virtual experiences. Virtual Events Offer an Effective Alternative Virtual events are emerging as a vital tool in combating sales resistance, offering entrepreneurs a way to scale outreach while maintaining a human touch. These experiences create an opportunity for businesses to connect with their audiences in real-time, delivering value, insights, and interaction that static digital content cannot match. 'Virtual events have become a necessary evolution in business communication,' said Mr. Matthew White, spokesperson for Coach Launch. 'They allow entrepreneurs to demonstrate their value in real time, answer questions, and build a genuine connection. In today's environment, that's what moves the needle.' Coach Launch specializes in guiding entrepreneurs through the entire event process—from strategy and planning to execution and follow-up—ensuring each virtual engagement is structured for both authenticity and profitability. Immersive Experiences Increase Engagement The effectiveness of virtual events lies in their immersive nature. Reports such as Immersion Causes Conversion point to a measurable link between active participation and consumer response. When attendees are drawn into a live, engaging experience, they are more likely to remember the message, build trust with the host, and take action. This insight is especially relevant given data from The Rise of Sales Resistance, which outlines the declining effectiveness of conventional outreach tactics such as cold emails and sales calls. In this landscape, passive strategies are falling short, and immersive approaches like live digital events are rising in value. Scalable and Repeatable Business Growth Model Coach Launch is not merely offering one-time solutions. Its consulting services are built around a repeatable framework that enables entrepreneurs to run profitable, recurring virtual events. This system allows entrepreneurs to run profitable, recurring virtual events—accessible to businesses anywhere in the world. Unlike conventional marketing funnels, the model empowers entrepreneurs to host sessions that engage audiences, showcase expertise, and move prospects naturally toward conversion—all within a controlled, measurable environment. 'Our goal is to provide a roadmap that entrepreneurs can replicate,' said White. 'The beauty of virtual events is in their flexibility. You can iterate, adapt, and run them as often as needed without the overhead of traditional events.' Coach Launch's upcoming session will be held on April 19, 2025, with new sessions recurring every two weeks. Entrepreneurs and business leaders interested in learning more about this model are encouraged to get a free ticket and attend the next live event. Rebuilding Trust Through Connection Trust is at the heart of every business transaction, and Coach Launch emphasizes that it must be earned through transparency, interaction, and value. By replacing static content and impersonal outreach with live, human-driven experiences, entrepreneurs are reclaiming lost ground in a digitally crowded marketplace. Coach Launch's approach aligns with the evolving expectations of today's buyers, who value authenticity over automation and are more likely to engage when they feel seen and heard regardless of geography or time zone. About Coach Launch Coach Launch is a global online virtual event consulting company based in Melbourne, Australia. It specializes in helping entrepreneurs and small business owners plan, launch, and optimize profitable virtual events. As virtual event consultants, Coach Launch supports coaches, consultants, and service experts who want to run profitable virtual events in small, intimate groups with highly engaged attendees ready to buy—and do so consistently, like clockwork. With a focus on scalability, engagement, and trust-building, Coach Launch provides strategic consulting to support business growth through immersive digital experiences. Its bi-weekly events demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, offering entrepreneurs a clear path toward modernizing their outreach Event Consultants CONTACT: Media Contact Company Name: Coach Launch Contact Person: Mr. Matthew White Email: contactus@ Phone: +1 844-780-1448 Country: Australia Website: in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firms Glass Lewis and ISS Recommend that Shareholders Vote 'FOR' the Proposed Merger Between PTMN and LRFC
NEW YORK, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: PTMN) ('Portman Ridge' or 'PTMN') and Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: LRFC) ('Logan Ridge' or 'LRFC') (together, the 'Companies') announced today that leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services ('ISS') and Glass, Lewis & Co. ('Glass Lewis'), have both recommended that LRFC stockholders vote 'FOR' the proposed merger of LRFC with and into PTMN at the upcoming LRFC special meeting scheduled for June 6, 2025. In addition, ISS and Glass Lewis have both recommended that PTMN stockholders vote 'FOR' the proposals related to the proposed merger at the upcoming PTMN special meeting scheduled for June 6, 2025. In its May 30, 2025 report, Glass Lewis noted, 'We recognize the transaction would consolidate two entities that are managed by affiliated investment advisers, have overlapping portfolios of investments, and similar strategies and risks. The transaction aims at creating an entity with greater scale, a more diversified portfolio and anticipated greater market liquidity, among other benefits. Overall, we believe the entities have presented a reasonable strategic rationale for the proposed merger.' Similarly, in its report dated May 23, 2025, ISS commented, 'The strategic rationale appears sound, as the combined company will have increased scale, structural simplification, and more diversification. On balance, in light of the compelling strategic rationale, support for the proposed share issuance is warranted.' Ted Goldthorpe, President and Chief Executive Officer of PTMN and LRFC and Head of the BC Partners Credit Platform, stated, 'We're encouraged by the support from both ISS and Glass Lewis, which reflects their alignment with the LRFC and PTMN Boards' unanimous recommendations to their shareholders to vote in favor of the proposed merger. With PTMN standing as the surviving entity, we believe the combination will enhance PTMN's scale, increase trading liquidity, further increase portfolio diversification, and will generate meaningful earnings accretion for shareholders, all which pave the way for our future growth initiatives and strengthen our position as a leader in executing strategic growth transactions amongst publicly traded business development companies.' With special meetings scheduled for June 6, 2025, both PTMN and LRFC urge their stockholders to attend the meeting and cast their votes by following the instructions outlined in the joint proxy statement.

Wall Street stocks end higher on Nvidia, trade talks hopes
STORY: U.S. stock indexes closed higher on Tuesday, with the Dow and S&P 500 each gaining roughly half a percent and the Nasdaq climbing eight-tenths of a percent. Tuesday brought more mixed economic data, including a report from the Labor Department that showed job openings increased in April while layoffs also picked up. Ross Mayfield is investment strategist at Baird. "The big one for investors is going to be a pretty solid JOLTS (Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey) jobs report. There's a lot of anxiety about where the labor market stands today. We get some good data, some data that shows some cracks, and ultimately, if you're going to build the bull case for the economy, you have to bring the labor market and the consumer along. So I think getting that pop in job openings and seeing a little bit of resilience from the labor market is helping things today. And then you have continued momentum from big tech and AI-adjacent names, so that obviously is helping, given the concentration there." That tech momentum was courtesy of chipmakers Nvidia and Broadcom, which each rose roughly 3%. Broadcom hit a fresh record high after the company said it has begun to ship its latest networking chip that aims to speed AI. Other movers included Dollar General, which surged nearly 16% as the discount retailer raised its annual sales forecast after surpassing quarterly sales expectations. And Crowdstrike, up 2% at the close, shed more than 6% in extended trading, after the cybersecurity firm forecast second-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates. Meanwhile, the White House said President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are set to speak this week after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs. The Trump administration wants countries to provide their best offer on trade negotiations by Wednesday as officials seek to accelerate talks with multiple partners ahead of a self-imposed deadline in just five weeks, according to a draft letter to negotiating partners seen by Reuters.
