“You know your business better than anyone else” - Stacey Calder, Founder of The Awards Training Company.
There are several reasons why businesses should not wait for others to nominate them for an award with the first reason quoted above. Stacey is passionate about this and often tells businesses to self nominate and not wait. “It’s not ‘blowing your own trumpet’ it’s showcasing your expertise!” She says.
Here are a few more reasons why businesses should self nominate and not wait to be nominated by peers, family or colleagues:
🏆 Missed Opportunities: Waiting for someone else to nominate you for an award means you may miss out on potential recognition and exposure that could benefit your business. By proactively seeking out awards and submitting your own nomination, you can increase your chances of being recognised and potentially open up new opportunities for your business.
🏆 Control: When you submit your own nomination, you have more control over how your business is portrayed and what information is highlighted. You can ensure that the nomination accurately reflects your accomplishments and strengths, and that it aligns with your business goals.
🏆 Strategic Branding: Nominating your business for an award can be part of a larger branding and marketing strategy. By highlighting your achievements and showcasing your business in the best possible light, you can raise your brand's profile, build credibility and potentially attract new customers or partners.
🏆 Competition: By waiting for someone else to nominate you for an award, you are essentially relying on competition or friends and family to identify and recognise your achievements. However, by taking the initiative and submitting your own nomination, you can position yourself as a leader in your industry and demonstrate your commitment to excellence.
