Template

Hey {BossName},

I recently came across an online web development course called Component Odyssey, which focuses on building reusable component libraries. I believe this course would be a valuable investment for both my growth and the team’s long-term efficiency. Could you consider purchasing this course as part of my ongoing professional development?

Course Overview

This course offers a comprehensive guide on building a reusable component library from scratch. It covers everything from writing components to publishing them for others to use. The course teaches how to build reusable components compatible with any web development framework, making our codebase more maintainable and easier to scale.

Key Benefits

• The course focuses on native browser technologies, which will make me a more well-rounded web developer.
• It teaches how to build components that work with any web framework, allowing us to use different UI frameworks without rewriting our entire component library.
• By building a component library, we can reuse code across multiple projects, leading to huge savings in time and resources in the long run.

Costs

The course has a one-time cost of $99, including tax. I’m convinced it’s a great opportunity for professional growth and will positively impact our team’s capabilities.

I appreciate your consideration, and I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts

Best regards, {YourName}

P.S. I think this course would also be valuable for other members of the team, especially {ColleagueOrTeamNames}. We can reach out to hello@component-odyssey.com for some pretty sizeable bulk discounts.
