How Does the Awards Process Work?
Step One: Get Nominated
A fortunate few are nominated without their knowledge. For the rest, there are other simple methods. Method 1: Rely on the business principle: if you want something, ask for it. Ask someone to nominate you. People are often happy to nominate but simply did not think to do so, were not aware of the award, or did not understand how closely the award related to your business. Clients, peers, family members, friends, financial counsellors - these are the people that know your business best. The nominator will feel honoured that you chose him or her. Method 2: In many situations, you may self nominate. Isn't self nomination kind of cheesey - perhaps even hubristic? Not at all. Awards are PR strategy - like any advertising mechanism. Beside, self nomination is very common in the awards circle - and only the awards committee knows the who nominated you. The nomination part is usually very simple. Nominators simply fill out a form, supplying the name, contact information, and category of the award, along with their reason for the nomination.
