In this post: a little learning and a nice opportunity.

Whether or not you consider yourself a “salesperson,” you’ve got a sales process.

You’re working to engage, influence, and move people from one place to another – in one form or another.

For reference, consider Daniel Pink‘s To Sell Is Human (read it in 5 minutes, see a 20 minute video).

As formal or informal as your sales process might be, you’re reaching out to people to connect and communicate.

• To build trust, rapport, and relationship.
• To provide opportunities and to follow up on those offers.
• To give assistance or make requests.
• To move people to thought or action.

If you’re using BombBomb, you’re likely using it in your sales process. And we want to hear your story.

The Goal: to provide value for the entire BombBomb community through your story and those of others who send them in … and to have some fun doing it!

Learn how you can share your story and, perhaps, claim an iPad Pro (32GB, 12.9″) or Amazon gift card.

Tell Us How BombBomb Supports Your Sales Process

Basics

• Record and send a video email to Story@BombBomb.com
• Send it by Wednesday, August 17, 2016.
• Tell us who you are, where you’re from, what you do, and how BombBomb helps you win more opportunities.
• You might include a specific story, the single most effective thing you do with BombBomb, or the various ways you use it. Some why is always good, too.
• See more than 100 examples here.

Judging Criteria

• We’re looking for videos that tell compelling success stories, ideally with specific outcomes.
• We’re looking for videos that will help and inform other people in the BombBomb community.
• We’re not looking for high production value – it definitely won’t hurt you, but it’s not a primary criterion.
• We’re not judging on length, but it should be a relatively concise story (under 3 minutes or so).
• The stories/videos with the most points win

Award Process

• A subcommittee of BombBomb team members will narrow all entries down to the top 10.
• The top 10 will be watched by all BombBomb team members.
• Each team member ranks his or her top 3 stories/videos.
• 5 points are awarded for first, 3 for second, and 1 for third.
• The stories/videos with the most points win.

Prizes

• The person with the top scoring story/video wins an iPad Pro (12.9″, 32GB) and a BombBomb t-shirt.
• Each of the top 5 runners up wins a $100 Amazon gift card and a BombBomb t-shirt.
• NOTE: we don’t make many t-shirts; they’re relatively rare!

Fun fact: this is a photo of the exact iPad Pro we’re going to send out.

ABOVE ALL

• Have fun.
• Provide value.
• We want to bring helpful stories to the entire BombBomb community.

Will Anyone See My Video?

I’ve Sent a Video Before – Can I Send Another?

Yes! We’d love to see you. We’d love to hear what’s new. We’d love to send you an iPad Pro.

But I Don’t Have a “Sales Process” – Is This for Me?

Yes! See the Daniel Pink links above! We’re all in sales. Share a story or talk about ways you use BombBomb to communicate more clearly, connect more effectively, and win more opportunities … even if it’s not a “sale” of a specific product or service.

I Made it All the Way Here – Can This Post End?

Yes! Remember to send your video by Wednesday, August 17, 2016!
