Do you love the idea of joining the Social Media Marketing Society, but don’t think your boss will feel the same way?
We’re here to help!

On this page, we've got some ideas for you and an email template you can send to your boss (just keep scrolling down).
Start Here: Simple Ideas to Convince Your Boss
Idea #1: Play the “dream outcome” game
Chat with your boss and ask, “What's the dream outcome for our marketing results over the next 12 months?” If they mention doubling sales, increasing leads, reducing ad costs, or something along those lines, you're in a sweet spot.
Then, ask, “Are you willing to invest in my training so I can get us there?” If they say yes, pitch an annual membership in the Social Media Marketing Society as the perfect solution.
Idea #2: Change their perspective
If your boss is all about the numbers, present the Social Media Marketing Society as an investment, not an expense.
With a Society membership, you'll unlock 100+ on-demand workshops, new monthly workshops, and a super supportive community full of marketers just like you.
So, take the quarterly membership fee of $166 and ask, “Would you be cool with investing less than $166 per quarter in my training?”
If they say “yes,” just explain, “Awesome, we can save even more with an annual membership (just $497 a year).
Remember, if something creates more value than it costs, it's an investment, not an expense.
