This past December, we reached a big milestone: over 800,000 people are taking our online classes. We will break one million students in the coming months. I’m amazed and grateful for this opportunity.

As you may know, we have several resellers of our online classes. One reseller, whom I still adore, has become a giant business that takes a huge percentage of the sales price. You might be surprised to learn that on many of our sales, we earn less than $3 per enrollment. With the cost of course development, teaching assistants, and marketing, those three dollars evaporate pretty quickly.

People ask why I should purchase from you when I get this same class elsewhere for less. A fair question. That’s just one reason why I’ve decided to change our pricing to be more competitive, more in line with what you can find around the Internet. We’ve lowered the prices on all of our classes, and we’d love for you and your colleagues to purchase directly from us.

Purchasing classes directly from Instructing.com has a direct and positive impact on our sustainability as a business. By choosing us as your online learning partner, you’re contributing to the longevity of our platform. Direct sales allow us to invest in cutting-edge technology, hire more people, and update and expand our course offerings. Your support is instrumental in helping us provide a rich learning experience for all our students.

It’s been an honor to teach nearly one million people online – something I never dreamed would happen in my lifetime. Our primary goal is to ensure that anyone with a thirst for knowledge can access our high-quality training programs. By lowering our prices, we are removing a significant barrier that often keeps individuals from pursuing education. Whether you’re a student on a budget, a working professional looking to upskill, or someone looking to change careers, our new pricing structure makes learning more affordable for everyone.

One of the most exciting aspects of our new pricing strategy is the potential for growth in our course catalog. This year, we have some exciting goals: more people coming onboard our organization, new courses, and revamping some older courses. With more financial stability, we can develop and introduce a wider variety of courses that cater to diverse interests and skill levels. As our business thrives, you will have access to an even broader range of learning opportunities.

By reducing our prices, we aim to stay competitive in the online education market. We understand that you have many options when it comes to choosing an online learning platform, and pricing is a significant factor in the decision-making process. Our new, more competitive pricing ensures that you get exceptional value for your investment in education.

Taking advantage of our new competitive lower pricing is straightforward. Visit our website, Instructing.com, browse through our extensive course offerings, and select the ones that align with your interests and goals. Earn your PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, PDUs, and more. You can enroll directly through our platform, knowing that you are not only investing in your education but also supporting a business committed to making quality learning affordable for all.

Keep moving forward,

Trivia Time

The correct answer to last week’s trivia question: Exploiting

The term used to describe a risk response strategy where a project team decides to take advantage of an unforeseen positive event to achieve a better outcome than initially planned is called "exploit." Exploiting a positive risk involves actively seeking to maximize the benefits of the opportunity that has arisen during the project. This strategy is employed when the team identifies a potential positive event that could enhance project objectives, and instead of simply accepting it, they take deliberate actions to capitalize on it and extract the maximum value.
