Lions’ Den ChannelNext Central 2021 – Who Will Win?

View and Vote for Lions’ Den best pitch for October 2021 at the recent ChannelNEXT In-Person event in Toronto.

Any MSP can vote from anywhere. Check them all out. Vote for the one that you feel is the best and for whatever reason you choose. If you want to receive more information from ANY of the listed vendors just select them before submitting and you shall receive.

The voting closes Tuesday October 26 and the winner will be announced on Wednesday October 27. All those who voted will be put into a pool and one name will be randomly selected to win a $500 “THANK YOU FOR VOTING” Prize.

The Lions’ Den is a unique activity in the channel that allows vendors to make their best pitch to the channel community in under 3 minutes in anyway that they choose. They can be live or they can submit their video pitch virtually. The goal is to help channel partners of all types to check out many vendors in the shortest amount of times to gauge if there is a potential fit. You can then ask for more information through the platform or connect directly to the vendor. Your choice! You can share the videos as you wish and you may also share with your colleagues to also vote.

The vendor with the most votes win. They also receive a “Digital Sales Warrior” Award. It is not easy pitching your company in-person or virtually in under 3 minutes, but it is a necessary skill that is required in the digital-first world in which we current live. No one likes to sit through a 30-minute presentation only to find out that there is no fit.

“Many may enter the Lions’ Den but only one can come out victorious!”
