Congratulations to all the winners who, with the exception of the Hall of Fame Inductees, were selected by a combination of votes by the public and votes by an expert panel, each weighing in at 50% of the final score.
Are there winners that you don’t feel deserve to win or some that you feel should have won that aren’t on the list? If so you can be sure and correct that next year by participating in both the selection of finalists by nominating your favorites and the winners by voting for them.
I recommend you head over to TopSalesAwards and get to know all of the winners as they are all worth knowing.
