Subject: Approval request: Pure Procurement membership
Hi [Manager's name],
I'd like to expense a Pure Procurement [Premium / Supporter] membership at [$199/year / $25/quarter / $10/month].
Pure Procurement is an independent, practitioner-written publication on procurement and procurement technology. You can see the public site and articles here: https://newsletter.pureprocurement.ca/
The membership gives me [practitioner-built playbooks and templates for policy, process modeling and KPIs / in-depth deep dives on procurement technology], which I'd use for [current project or goal, e.g. updating our procurement policy or evaluating S2P vendors]. It will also help us:
Avoid building key assets from scratch
Avoid expensive traps and mistakes in our digitalization efforts
Stay current on procurement technology trends
I'm happy to share what's useful with the team. Group subscriptions are also available (10% off at 5 or more seats) if we want to use it across the team. A receipt is issued with every payment.
Would it be OK to expense this to our team budget? I think it would help us meet our objectives faster.
Thank you,
[Your name]
Buying for a team of 5 or more? Group subscriptions are 10% off. Choose "Group" above the pricing cards on the upgrade page.
