Awards season for IBM Business Partners - Apply now!!!
It's awards season!!! No, I'm not talking about the Oscars or the Golden Globes - I'm talking about the IBM Beacon Awards!! Business Partners, it's up to you to nominate yourselves for these prestigious annual awards!
I hope to see all of our IBMPartnerWorld members and Business Partners nominate themselves for the fantastic solutions they've created using IBM products and services! It's so easy to nominate yourself and the outcome is well worth the time it takes to fill out the nomination form.
Finalists and winners of the 2015 IBM Beacon Awards will gain great exposure to IBM clients and the industry, it's a great way to differentiate yourself from your competitors, and ultimately it will help you sell, sell, sell! Awards will be presented at the PartnerWorld Leadership Conference.
Finalists and winners will receive one complimentary registration to the conference as well as promotion at the conference and on our PartnerWorld website.
Nominations close November 21, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST so get started on the application ASAP!
I think this is better than a Golden Globe, don't you?
