Sample Email Template - Manager Approval

Hi [Manager's Name],

I'd like to use my professional development budget to enroll in Speak Software, Sell More, the only online course helping AEs and SCs uplevel technical side of SaaS—software, cloud, APIs—and how these impact our product’s integration capabilities, scalability, and value.

How this benefits me (and the team):

• Bigger wins & smoother cycles – I’ll be able to understand customer tech stacks, ask more strategic questions, and identify real opportunities earlier.

• Faster ramp & stronger positioning – With the technical foundations in place, I can pick up new features, partnerships, and product updates more efficiently.

• More trust & credibility with customers – I’ll be able to lead technical conversations and establish myself as a strategic advisor, not just another rep.

Here’s what the course includes:

• Lifetime access to 6 modules covering SaaS, software, cloud, APIs, and architecture

• THREE private 1:1 mentorship sessions (Triple Threat Training)

• One-year access to the SaaS Savvy Slack community

• Technical topic cheat sheets and glossary (lifetime access)

• 10+ real-world SaaS scenarios and use cases

• 12 curated article and podcast reflections

• Certificate of completion for my LinkedIn profile

• Quizzes and a final assessment to reinforce learning

I see this course as a direct investment in my ability to close more complex deals, increase customer trust, and accelerate both individual and team performance.

What do you think?

Best,
[Your Name]
