James W. Obermayer, executive director of the Sales Lead Management Association (SLMA), announced  that the association is calling for world-wide nominations of the 50 most influential people in the field of sales lead management for 2010.  This is the 2nd year the nominations and voting will occur.

 SLMA co-founder Susan Campanale said, "This list will be created in a two-stage process: nominating and voting."

• Nominations:  SLMA members may nominate one or more professional individuals for consideration until October 23rd, 2010, a week after Sales Lead Management Week (October 11-16, 20).   Nominations are accepted from SLMA
members only.  Nonmembers, however, may nominate someone once they join SLMA, and membership is free.

• Voting:  Any member or non-member may vote for candidates listed on the SLMA site on October 28th, 2010. The ‘50 Most Influential Sales Lead Management Professionals’ List will be published on December 6th, 2010.

Mark L. Friedman, SLMA’s executive vice president, said "We encourage nominations for individuals in B2B and B2C companies, CRM, marketing automation, sales lead software, sales force automation, telemarketing, direct marketing, and database management firms, as well as lead management firms, consultants and authors.  The rules for nomination are posted at the SLMA site."   Last year’s winners are also listed on the SLMA site.
