Improve your chances

Take the time to thoroughly review the judging criteria and guidance for each category. Understanding what the judges are looking for will help you tailor your submission to align with the specific criteria.

Avoid submitting the same 300 words across multiple categories. Instead, tailor each submission to the specific award showcasing how your contributions stand out in that category.

Stay within the specified word count for each submission. Being concise and focused demonstrates professionalism and your ability to stick to the brief. 300 words isn’t a lot, but it should be more than enough to get your point across.

Clearly articulate the reasons why you believe you deserve to win in the chosen category. Showcase your achievements and contributions to the industry with confidence.

Support your claims with concrete data, facts, and figures. Quantifiable evidence strengthens your submission and adds credibility to your achievements.

If applicable, include statements from any brokers you have worked with. Their testimonials can provide valuable insights into your level of service and performance.

Bring your submission to life by telling a genuine and compelling story. Highlight key milestones, challenges overcome, and the positive impact of your contributions.

If relevant to the category, showcase any innovations that set you apart from the competition and demonstrate how you leverage technology to enhance customer experiences and streamline processes.

Emphasise your commitment to service excellence and how you go above and beyond to meet the needs of brokers and their clients.

Life can easily get in the way of deadlines, but it is important to ensure all your submissions are made on time - the NACFB cannot guarantee that late submissions will be read.
