Friday, November 13 is the entry deadline for the 4th annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. The competition is open to all organizations worldwide, and features 27 customer service and call center categories and more than 40 sales categories.

You'll find the entry kit online at

EntryKit.html

The entry kit lists the categories you have to choose from, and explains the submission requirements for them. Most categories require the submission of an essay of up to 500 words.

Sales categories will no longer be part of The American Business Awards or The International Business Awards, so if you're a sales professional and want to win a Stevie Award for your achievements, this is your only opportunity!
