We’re well into October now and the end of the year is fast approaching - know what that means?
It’s awards season!
After a successful run last year, we at SEC have been hard at work planning the next edition of our Sales Enablement Awards and we’re delighted to announce our shortlisted nominees.
While there can only be one winner in each category, every nominee listed here is worthy of recognition for their dedication, hard work, and ability to stand out in a really talented enablement field.
