This would be an amazing premise for an online course.

  Really? I'm very interested in hearing why you think that.

    Most content/courses lack that 'real world' feel where students learn by doing something that interacts with the real world in a way that's meaningful to them. Even project-based courses don't really give students 'real' feedback: paying customers (or users paying with attention) tinkering with creations, asking for things, breaking it, etc. This online sales dynamic you described feels 1) 'real' in that the interactions occur outside the course with customers and 2) scoped and digital-first as to make it easy to curate or coach the student (inputs/outputs seem easy to gather/parse as they are chats/emails/prices/copy/etc). I'd imagine something like: 1. Students select products or themes they are interested in outside the course (example: computer peripherals like, mics/cams/headphones for streaming). 2. Set a budget to get started (real skin in the game!). 3. First purchase, make approach using course tips/tricks. 4. Get feedback from course instructors on form/copy/negotiation tactics 5. Rinse and repeat Would be awesome to streamline like a guided tutorial/checklist as you see more and more cases and can solidify best practices with data from student's results.

      Huh. Very interesting, thank you! You've given me some things to think about.
