Excellence in Action Awards | The semi-finalists are in. Now it’s your call.
Why does your vote matter?
We asked Showpad customers and partners to show us the impact they’re driving in the field. And they delivered. From revenue growth and AI-driven selling to buyer experiences that moved deals forward, this year’s semi-finalists represent the best of what revenue effectiveness looks like in action.
Now it’s your turn to help decide who advances to the finals.
Your vote determines which semi-finalists move to the final round, where a panel of Showpad leaders will select one winner per category. Every vote counts, and every category needs your input.
Voting is open from August 26 through September 9:
- Sign in or register for the customer community, the Rev

What do winners receive?
Your vote helps put these teams on the biggest stage in revenue enablement. Once voting closes, finalists move to judging — and the winners will be announced in October 2026. Here’s what’s waiting for the winners:
- A trip on us. An all-expenses-paid trip to an upcoming 2026 Excellence in the Field event in their region. Partners not eligible for this benefit.
- Thought-leadership opportunities. Invitations to speaking roles at events, webinars, media interviews, and customer stories.
- Recognition across Showpad channels. Mentions on Showpad.com, LinkedIn, The Rev community, and event programming.
- A winner digital toolkit. Badges, branded social assets, and internal communications materials to share across their organization and network.
- Excellence in Action Award trophy. A physical award to display at their office (because some things are better in person).
Who makes the final call?
A distinguished panel of industry experts will analyze the top 3 candidates per award category, determined by the peer voting. Judges will use a formal rubric to ensure a fair and balanced decision-making process. With deep experience across revenue enablement, sales, and marketing, this panel is committed to recognizing excellence and innovation.

What else should you know?
Who can vote? Anyone with a verified email address can vote through The Rev. You don’t need to be a Showpad customer, though we encourage the broader enablement community to participate.
How many times can I vote? Once per category. You can cast a vote for as many categories as you’d like, but each category only accepts one vote per verified email address.
How were semi-finalists selected? Showpad reviewed all applications for eligibility, account health, and story strength. Semi-finalists represent the strongest submissions across each category.
What happens after voting? The top three vote recipients in each category advance to a panel of Showpad leaders, who evaluate finalists against a rubric focused on strategy, execution, innovation, and impact. Winners are announced at Excellence in the Field: New York on October 8.
Can voting results be influenced by company size or network reach? Community voting determines which semi-finalists advance, but final winners are chosen by the judging panel based on merit. This ensures that strong applications from smaller organizations aren’t disadvantaged by network size alone.
I voted. When will I find out who won? Winners are announced publicly at Excellence in the Field: New York on October 8 and across Showpad’s channels shortly after.
