Mobile, AL, November 9, 2006 - TeleVox Software, Inc. was recently named a Finalist in the Software Sales Organization of the Year category in The 2006 Selling Power Sales Excellence Awards.
The new awards are jointly presented by Selling Power magazine, the leading sales management publication with 145,000 subscribers in 67 countries, and The Stevie® Awards, which have been hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" by the New York Post (April 27, 2005). The first annual awards will be presented on December 4 in Las Vegas.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word "crowned," winners will be announced during a gala banquet on Monday, December 4 at the Westin Casuarina Hotel, Spa & Casino in Las Vegas. Nominated sales executives from around the world are expected to attend.
More than 300 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories, including Best Run Sales Organization of the Year, National VP of Sales of the Year, and Sales Training Program of the Year.
"We're truly honored to be considered for Software Sales Organization of the Year," said Neil Armentrout, TeleVox President and CEO. "We take great pride in each TeleVox associate's high level of commitment to ethical sales practices."
Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie Award winners this week from among the Finalists. Finalists were chosen by business professionals worldwide during preliminary judging.
The elegant Stevie trophy was designed by R. S. Owens, the same company that makes the Oscar and the Emmy.
"Being named a Finalist in The Selling Power Sales Excellence Awards is an important achievement," said Gerhard Gschwandtner, founder and publisher of Selling Power. "It means that independent business executives have agreed that the nominee is worthy of international recognition.
