CRN Sales and Marketing Awards shortlist revealed
.png)
The competition for the 2019 Sales & Marketing Awards (SMAs) has been fierce, so those that have made the shortlist should be very proud of their achievement.
Entry standards have definitely been raised this year, and the judges have had to be stricter than ever on wordcount and rewarding those that really followed the criteria and told their story in a personal and informative way.
The shortlist will now go through to the second round of judges where the winners will be decided. Their job is going to be even harder as it really is that close.
See below for the full shortlist and congratulations to all those that have made it this year.
