We could help you get the prestige of winning awards whilst improving the performance of your organisation and resultantly winning more awards in the future.

 

Winning an award is great PR.

awardIt certainly impresses your customers (especially the bigger ones) and raises you profile enormously.The amount of free publicity generated can be priceless. Is your business an excellent performer? Would you like to receive public recognition?

We can help you pick up prestigious awards that recognise your efforts and success, preparing the application and performing the presentation with you. In the last few years we have helped our clients pick up many prestigious awards, including National Business Awards, CBI Awards and Green Apple.

Winning awards is motivating for all your staff, lets you know you are on the right track, and generates great PR. It also generates confidence in your customers and boosts customer loyalty. In a survey 81% of business to business buyers said they were influenced by awards.

A great additional benefit is that there is often feedback from the independent impartial judges that helps you identify areas that need working on. We have used this effectively by coming back and winning the year after missing an award after instigating specific improvements on the basis of feedback. It is an unfortunate fact that no matter how good you are if you do not present yourself properly you have no chance. Our expertise can be the difference between success and failure.

Deriving organisational improvements is more important.

It undoubtedly gives everybody working in the organisation a great boost when you win an acclaimed award and customer tend to get very impressed, but that shouldn't be the main reason for entering. You should have entering awards as part of you fundamental business strategy because it is a great way of improving business performance.

Just filling in the application form should force you to ask yourself some fudamental questions and possibly look at the business in a different way. We believe in taking this opportunity to identify shortcomings, and then not just try to paper them over, but try to make subtle changes that will increase profits and subsequently help that business win future awards. This is often reinforced by feedback received from the judges.

The procedure

  1. Review business (Optional)

This makes the process more strategic and capitalises on what should be the primary reason for entering an award- strengthening the business and increasing profits. That's right: entering an award should be a profitable exercise.

Our mission is not to help businesses win undeserved awards, but to help mould a business to become the best and present itself properly so that it gets the recognition it deserves.

 

  1. Complete submissionsDavid bellamy

 

It's a sad fact of life that the best doesn't always win. To win an award you have to give the judges what hey are looking for.

Preparing your submissions in-house can be a costly and frustrating process. You will need to have senior people working on it and it will take them a long time. Time when they are unable to do what they are being paid for.

We have the expertise to win you the prestige awards that really matter. You simply appoint your own liasance contact for us and that person simply sends us the info we need to complete the submission. We then send a draft to you for comments and corrections, then we produce the final copy ready for submission.

 

  1. Prepare PowerPoint presentation

With the vast majority of awards thats all there is to it. Some very prestigious awards (such as the NBAs) require a presentation to the judges if you are shortlisted.

The presentation should tell the same story as the submission but the way it's put across is vastly different. We can prepare a high impact Powerpoint presentation and help with putting it accross by coaching your people in its delivery. We will start by presenting it to you and taking it from there.

 

We specialise in the difficult to get high prestige awards such as National Business Awards. It’s a time consuming and often frustrating experience for a member of staff to prepare entries. We make it easy and improve your chances of winning.
