If you’re considering entering awards for your business, how do you choose which awards your business should enter? There are hundreds of awards you may be eligible to enter in Australia and around the world. It’s little wonder the process of simply identifying relevant awards and awards categories can be so daunting, let alone taking the next step to enter. At Green Door Co we undertake awards research every week for our clients and make recommendations on which awards they should enter. Here’s a handy checklist of what we look for when narrowing down a list of suitable awards for clients. Learn More ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gj8HQUs3

Calling all Scottish Families Businesses!! Tomorrow at 6pm is the deadline for the 2024 The Herald Scottish Family Business Awards in association with Business Gateway. ⏰Don’t think you have time to enter?? Let me tell you why 30-60 minutes out of your day tomorrow will be a great opportunity for you and your business. ❓Entry forms ask questions of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. They prompt you to take stock of you and your teams achievements, something we rarely get the chance to do. 🤝It’s an opportunity to put forward what makes your business great and have this reviewed against other entries. Its an opportunity to find out how you fair against others in your sector. And more importantly on the night share best practice and learn about how other Family Businesses are succeeding or growing. 🗣️Lastly, you get to shout about your team. Family businesses are made up of the fabric of support, be that from generations of past or by those who choose to join your family (business) and support you and the business goals and values. It’s a fantastic opportunity to say well done and thank you!! So, as we come into the latter part of 2024, grab a cuppa, set some time aside and look back on all you’ve achieved. ☕️ Information on how to enter is below 👇🏼

Happy Monday! A week or so ago, I was judging the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. Now the tables have turned, as I started this week by finalising my submissions for the 2024 ROAR Awards. When I first started my business, the idea of entering business awards made me feel ick. But now I see the value of entering them. They're definitely a great way to review the ups and downs I've had in my business. Do you enter business awards? #businessawards #businessowner

Are You Ready to Stop Playing Small? Enter the Wellingborough & East Northants Chamber of Commerce Awards Let’s cut the fluff: If you’re not putting your business out there, you’re missing a massive opportunity. The Wellingborough & East Northants Chamber of Commerce Awards are more than just a chance to pick up a shiny trophy—they’re your chance to step up, prove your worth, and get some serious recognition for the work you’ve been putting in. I hear too many business owners moan about “not getting the attention they deserve.” Well, here’s your wake-up call—this is how you get it. By entering. By showing up. By competing. It’s not just about winning (though that doesn’t hurt, does it?); it’s about demonstrating to your customers, competitors, and even your team that you’re not content with staying in the shadows. Think about what it says when you put your business forward: 🏆 Visibility: You get eyes on your business that you’ve never had before. 🏆 Credibility: Just being a finalist can be a game-changer for how people perceive your brand. 🏆 Momentum: Win or lose, the PR, the buzz, the networking—it all counts towards growth. So, are you going to take action and showcase the real impact your business is making? Or are you going to sit on the sidelines while others claim the spotlight? And listen—if you’re thinking of not entering because “it’s just not your thing,” that’s your ego talking. Leave that nonsense behind. This is the perfect chance to push your business to the next level. You’ve got nothing to lose—just credibility, connections, and potential clients to gain. The deadline’s looming. Get your entry in and stop playing small. #WellingboroughChamberAwards #BusinessGrowth #Recognition #NoExcuses
