Entering business awards is a great way for Australian businesses to showcase their achievements, gain recognition for their hard work, and promote their business. However, it's important to be aware that the award submission process can be very time-consuming. This is because there's more to entering awards than simply writing a submission.

Part of our value-add is to recommend which awards would be suitable to enter now and which might be better to enter down the track. We even advise you on potential areas to work on to improve your suitability for an award.

You know people who say they want to win the lottery yet never buy a ticket? The same goes for Business Awards! If you want to win, you need to submit an award entry! Many people think that businesses and individuals just randomly get chosen as finalists and winners for business and industry awards, but this is not the case. Whilst some awards may not require you personally to enter, all awards programs require nominations to define their candidate pool. Completing submissions for multiple awards increases your chances of winning, as it allows you to tailor your award entries based on the successes of different departments within your business. Make 2024 the year you stop making excuses and start finally entering awards! (We can help with that!) ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g-B2d59j

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

The #SCA awards in Victoria have been opened for nominations re: #stratamanagement . There will always be a debate over the value of an award and the energy dedicated to the process. Winning an award looks great on a new business proposal and company website, an email signature and the individual awards are an amazing recognition of staff. And the awards SHOULD count for something. But how do we make them count for more WITHIN the industry? Many business operators I’ve spoken with lean towards being dissuaded in participating because of the trending correlation between state board members and the winners each year. And this happens in various states. Several also don’t like the poaching that appears to happen following an award. It’s hard to say why staff leave and it’s not really anybody’s business to be honest. But the crazy surge of contact after the awards each year is definitely a thing. And perhaps most frustrating is the lack of transparency and questions of conflict surrounding the voting. Suppliers who receive work facilitated by management companies have votes on the award submissions, with no visibly disclosed conflicts. Those same suppliers sponsor the SCA and mingle with the parties that they vote upon, deciding who wins what award. This is the sort of post that doesn’t get a tonne of engagement because of perception within the #strata community that associating with the post paints a target on your back within SCA circles. At least that is what people message me - fear of retribution. Thankfully, there’s an easy fix for most of this - make the submissions public, and the voting too. If that means less proprietary information is included, that’s fine. That information shouldn’t be privy to voting panels anyway. It always tends to leak, breaking commercial confidence - a fascinating game of Chinese-whispers from primary school. But I digress… There are I don’t know how many management companies in Victoria. Let’s say 2-300 of those are genuine (presuming we count franchises individually as the awards do). Why is it that so few submit for the awards? Once again, sometimes math is just math. Sam Osborne and Susan Chandler are going to put on a fantastic event this year. Let’s support that more. #ownerscorporation #bodycorporate #property
