I always wanted to have my own company but didn’t know what it would be until I had one of those brilliant “aha” moments many years ago. A friend watched me in action and commented that I was “lethal” on the phone and should teach others to do what I do. That was 16 years ago when I launched my company, TeleSmart – a company exclusively dedicated to developing inside sales talent. As a thought leader in the field, I write and blog on trends, and timely topics and continue to be an advocate for inside sales. Six months ago, my book was published – which is quickly becoming the sourcebook for inside sales. 
So when the American Association of Inside Sales Professional decided to give out awards for the best Solution Provider in the field, I wanted to ask for your vote- it means a lot if you vote for me. Click here.
Here is the criteria they are basing their decision on:
