This will convince any boss!

This page contains a template email you can email to your boss (scroll down). It also contains ideas to help you achieve success.

Ways to Convince the Boss

Idea #1: Play the “ideal outcome” game: Say to your boss, “what would be the ideal outcome for my marketing results in 2019?” If they say, double sales, or increase leads, or something similar then you are in a great position.

Now ask, “Are you willing to invest in my training so I can get us there?” If they say yes, you are ready to present the solution: Social Media Marketing World 2019.

Idea #2: Switch the conversation from expense to investment: Think about this. If you purchase something that generates more value than the cost, it’s actually an investment NOT an expense.

With the All-Access ticket you’ll get the recordings of all 120+ sessions–they’re included with your conference ticket. That means you could spend a full year going through about 12 sessions a month. It’s like a conference that you can turn into course material.

So take the price, divide it by 12 and say this: “Would you be willing to make a training investment in me for less than $XXX per month?” If they say “yes,” then simply explain, “Great, we just need to pay up front.” (The earlier you register, the lower your price will be).
