The Best Product Person of 2011 nominations have begun!

To nominate someone you think should be recognized as The Best Product Person of 2011:

Submit your nomination’s…

  1. name,
  2. a paragraph as to why you think they are The Best Product Person of 2011, and
  3. how they can be contacted.

You must know the Product Person, as they can expect to be contacted by me to speak with them further for consideration as The Best Product Person.

And, yes, you can nominate yourself.

At the end of the year, the winner will be selected and they will receive “something special” (to be announced very soon).

Submit your nomination today!

I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out. And, do spread the word of this new contest — the more the merrier for everyone involved.
