Who are you going to nominate for Telstra Business Awards?
Jess | 16 March 2010
Do you know of a small to medium business that consistently goes the extra distance to provide a better service to its customers? Have you thought about ways to help it get the recognition it deserves? Would you nominate it for a business award?
Well, if you have answered “yes” to all three questions, you now you have a chance to do your bit. The 2010 Telstra Business Awards are now open and your favourite small to medium business has a chance to share in the fantastic opportunities that have been benefitting Australian businesses for the past 18 years. And for the first time this year, all entrants have an opportunity to receive a business health check to help them plan for tomorrow, encouraging them to keep up the good work.
I’ll be coordinating our support of the Sensis Social Responsibility award category. While sustainability is at the core of our Sensis’ business strategy, we recognise that embracing sustainability can be a bit scary for small and medium sized businesses. So, this is an opportunity for us to recognsie and support those businesses we believe are giving it a crack and to celebrate their efforts. And through their success, we hope to encourage more businesses to do the same.
The Telstra Business Awards give small to medium businesses amazing networking
opportunities, media exposure and business development prospects.
Every year, the awards get me thinking about the small and medium business owners I know and who I’d like to nominate. There’s a fantastic beautician I go to in Prahran, but then there’s also that amazing breakfast place on Gertrude St, Collingwood. And I can’t forget about my hairdresser in Fitzroy. The one thing they all have in common is that the owners and their teams are all putting their heart and soul into making their businesses the very best they can be.
While a lot of large businesses have their own internal rewards and recognition programs in place, who is there to pat the small and medium business owner on the back and say, “Well done. You’re doing it right. Keep up the good work”?
The Telstra Business Awards give them that and also provide them with amazing networking opportunities, media exposure and business development prospects – not to mention the serious prizes getting around.
So, a final question for you. Who are you going to nominate?
