Hello!

Would you argue that you are the best at what you do? If so, I want to hear your story.

I'm Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief at Inc., and I'm writing because we have not yet received your company’s submission for our 2024 Inc. Best in Business Awards. The final deadline to apply is this Friday, September 13, at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Applying for Best in Business is a great way to tell Inc., and the world about your biggest accomplishments over the past year. The goal of this special issue, online and in print, is quite simple: Tell us what your best-in-class business case is, how you set yourself up for success, and how your particular approach represents excellence in your industry.

We’ll be honoring organizations, people, and ideas responsible for a wide array of achievements across 68 unique industries and company demographic categories, including but not limited to:

• Launching a new product customers loved
• Leading a social media campaign that went viral—and produced results
• Increasing your market share
• Developing top-tier solutions for customers/clients
• Making a leadership move that changed the game; and more!

We’ve simplified the application to three essential and easy-to-answer questions that shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete. Go to inc.com/apply/BIB to submit online.

If you have any questions at all, just reply directly to this email and someone on my team will get right back to you.

Best regards—and good luck!

Mike
