Additions to the Judges
- Lets give a big round of applause to Larry Ritter, Vice President of CRM for Sage Software who joins our Extended Judges Vendor Panel . Larry is a long time industry veteran who not only knows software but knows small business too. A huge addition for the panel
- Now, put your hands together for Chris Carfi, Vice President of Antseyeview and the man who just may have coined the term "social customer" with his incredibly popular blog. Chris is one of the first social influencers and one who knew the CRM market from the get go. He is also incredibly popular. He joins the Extended Judges Influencer Panel.
- Finally, we've got one more to clap those hands for and that would be Brian Vellmure, Founder and Principal of Intium, LLC. Brian is one of those Social CRM influencers who appeared about 2 years ago and just keeps getting more and more prominent. He joins the Extended Judges Influencer Panel too.\
The Latest Calendar as of 9:00am ET
The CRM Idol 2011 Americas is closed. All the slots are taken but we've put together a waiting list. However, there are a few slots left for EMEA. As of 9:00am ET and 2:00pm GMT on May 3, there are 6 of 20 left in EMEA. For all of the companies that have made it, please remember:- its provisional - dependent on your three references checking out. Once they do, we will send out notifications to everyone that will let you know the time and date of your actual slot.
- I'm traveling and the other key judges are busy and we are all human beings so we might be a little slow in responding.
- The waiting list is those Americas companies that submitted after closing of the competition. The order is based on the time stamped proper submission of the email. Any email that had something wrong with the submission has been asked to resubmit with the corrections. The resubmittal will be their actual time and date, not the original submission. Hey, it might sound sorta anal, but we haven't been asking much so reading the rules and making our lives a little easier isn't unwarranted, is it?
- We are working on a CRM Idol 2011 website that will feature a Joomla! based content management system at the backend. This will become the source for all updates and queries when its ready. Watch for it in the near to mid future.
- We are also working on a Facebook page for all you fans and friends out there.
- We are working on a YouTube channel, which as of now, is going to be the system of record for the videos though because we are at 10 minutes as a video, we reserve the right to move this channel elsewhere should YouTube rules interfere.
- We are working on the 1 hour session guidelines for all the entries so that you won't feel lost and we will see what we can do to set up a system of mentors that will be available during certains as yet ascertained period for advice for the one hours. That will be in July sometime I would reckon for the Americas and August for EMEA.
- Finally, we are continuing to provide more possible prizes and will be refining the rules for prizes etc as we go on. Stay tuned for more announcements.
