Hey [insert your boss’ name],

I’m interested in enrolling in Product Marketing Alliance’s Marketing Certified Masters course and would like to inquire whether you’d be willing to offer financial support for me to do so.

This course will improve the synergy between our product marketing and marketing teams, help us understand how to collaborate on OKRs and influence high-level marketing campaigns, and clearly establish the career path from Head of Product Marketing to CMO.

The training provider, Product Marketing Alliance, is a respected company, and they only work with the best. The course is by an assortment of industry experts, each of whom has honed their marketing skills at universally respected companies.

The course is completely self-paced, therefore, it won’t interfere with my working hours, and upon completion, I’ll receive official certification, providing I pass the mandatory exams.

The course curriculum is split into five modules and covers fundamental marketing topics, including:

  • How product marketing and marketing should work together
  • The OKRs and KPIs product marketers should share with marketing
  • The road from PMM to CMO
  • Operational marketing knowledge
  • Time management

What’s more, I’ll also have access to the course materials for life, so I’ll be able to revisit the curriculum and remain on top of my game.

I have no doubts that this course would be a great investment and I’d be more than happy to discuss this opportunity with you in more detail.

If you’d like to do a bit more research of your own before we meet, you’ll find all the information you need including what’s in the syllabus, here.

Let me know if there’s anything else you need from me at this stage.

Thanks,

[Your name]
