New Programs, Features, and Partners Help LiveCoach Achieve Membership Milestone
Results exceed expectations with over 10,000 members joining LiveCoach's pilot online community over a 90-day period.

CHICAGO, IL, September 08, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- LiveCoach Professional Development LLC ("LiveCoach") today announced the company's three-month pilot program for developing an online community on its flagship website has resulted in over 10,000 individuals registering for free membership.

Primarily comprised of senior executives and managers, LiveCoach's members can access discussion forums regarding various industry sectors, participate in live, interactive webcasts, and catch up on the latest posts from certified business coaches and subject matter experts.

"Our expansion of site features has certainly helped attract and retain members during this pilot", said Eric Nicole, LiveCoach's VP of Membership Marketing. "However, the most critical factor has been the addition of the new MemberPerks program, and the 30+ partners we have added to provide complimentary products and services to our members".

The MemberPerks program enables LiveCoach members to receive non-monetary points when they take advantage of special offers from partners-- ranging from consumer electronics and software manufactures to luxury vacation destinations to ticketing vendors. MemberPerks points can then be redeemed by members in LiveCoach's certificate programs or to purchase thousands of books and organizational products from the online storefront, MemberShoppe.

Also helping attract members is LiveCoach's new strategic partnership with leading career search provider, RiseSmart.

"Our recently established relationship with RiseSmart has generated a tremendous amount of interest from members who are actively looking , and those who are planning to look, at new opportunities to build their careers", said Keith Knutter, LiveCoach Chief Operating Officer. "During this trial program we have incorporated RiseSmart's Transition Concierge service into our certificate programs so that our members can start to realize the networking opportunities and personalized job referrals immediately upon completing their professional certification."

LiveCoach plans to use the results of the pilot program as a basis for expanding the marketing and promotional efforts to attract members throughout all 24 global markets where the company has regional presence.
