Hi [Manager Name]
I recently applied for a membership with WONDR because they have an impressive training program that I feel could have a positive impact on my work and development at our company.
Their membership includes participation in cohort-based programs, on-demand access to content across all programs, deep-dive sessions, career development events, and a community of vetted peers to help me execute what I learn.
At WONDR, top leaders, entrepreneurs and practitioners from some of the best companies and organisations in the world, are sharing their valuable knowledge with program participants, including proven strategies.
Who's behind the programs? WONDR was partnered with leaders from companies like Atlassian, HubSpot, Pinterest, and Uber to help leading tech professionals scale in their careers and at their companies. Top executives participate and share first-hand how they grew companies like Box, Calm, Credit Karma, Dropbox, Instacart, Lambda School, LinkedIn, Meta, Miro, Nextdoor, Reddit, Slack, Spotify, Stitchfix, Twitter, Uber, and more.
What does the WONDR community look like? Reforge has over 10,000 members from companies like Airbnb, Drift, Dropbox, Evernote, Facebook, Google, HubSpot, IBM, LinkedIn, Nike, and many more.
What's the cost? An annual subscription is priced at $300 per person. If two other members of our team want to participate, we each receive a $50 discount per person.
I believe a WONDR membership is an important step in my career development and knowledge, and that it will increase my impact at our company.
WONDR’s frameworks, live events, and discussions with other practitioners will help improve my performance, making the membership a worthy investment for both myself and the company.

- Position the program as an investment, not an expense.
- Research your company's learning and development budget.
- Try tapping into a conference budget.
- Include alumni reviews to add even more value.
