Association Burkinabè de Fundraising

The Acquisition International has announced the nominations for the Influential Businesswoman Awards.

As women continue to break through glass ceilings and become an important part of the economy, at Acquisition International they recognise the call to shine a light on the extraordinary people at the forefront of successful businesses.

Informing stakeholders of your participation in their programme indicates that your company is attracting attention from third parties and that your expertise and customer service are creating a buzz within competitive sectors.

As always, their programme is open to women from all over the world, regardless of their current position and the size or age of their company. They pride themselves on being a diverse publication and offer equal opportunities to all who participate.

Their rewards are based solely on merit, rather than on the number of votes received for each individual.

Their process ensures that they reward women in business based on their excellence in the industry, their commitment to their clients and their dedication to service.

Approaches

• Step 1: Gathering of candidates
  • Candidates are obtained via their online nomination form from magazine subscribers, online visitors, social media subscribers, customers and their wider circulation.
  • Nominators are invited to nominate their own firm or colleagues within their firm as well as third party firms.
  • Acquisition International is part of the AI Global Media publishing house, and the editors have also nominated candidates for consideration.
• Step 2: Assessment of candidates
  • All those who formally accept their application will be invited to submit documents for further consideration as supporting evidence.
  • They take into account the documents provided by the applicants, the information on the nominated companies available online and any information provided with the original application.
• Step 3: Research and judgement
  • Their highlighted research team will evaluate all the information presented when it comes to determining the winners.
  • The team collects information independently from a number of publicly available sources and will assess the material provided by the applicants and their original nominators.
  • They will make their final judgement based on a variety of criteria, including customer loyalty, innovation, business growth, longevity, online reputation, customer feedback and business performance.
• Step 4: Contact and announce the winners
  • Once the winners have been determined, each winner will be contacted directly.
  • Details of these winners will be embargoed until Acquisition International officially announces the winners publicly via the website and the winners' magazine.
• Step 5: Promote your victory
  • They encourage all their winners to announce their victory publicly and independently.
  • Announcements via company websites, social media channels, publicly issued press releases and local and national press are a great way to really maximise the exposure gained from such an incredible achievement.
