In response to the question posed above, the answer is: either Y. Lee Abbas from Hokkaido, Japan; Todd Herman from Edmonton, Canada; or Eric Polins from Tampa, USA.
These are the three talented finalists who have beaten off competition from over 230 entrants in 12 countries to have a chance to win the coveted title of ‘The World’s Greatest Salesperson’ when they travel to Cannes on Monday 2nd June.
Their three winning video submissions can be viewed athttp://www.youtube.com/ogilvy.
They will appear at a special seminar at the International Advertising Festival, where the audience will vote in real-time for the ultimate winner who will receive a three month fellowship with OgilvyOne to help craft the sales guide to the 21st century.
“We’re excited by the overwhelming interest in salesmanship and the caliber of talent that the contest has attracted. We look forward to working with the ultimate winner to redefine and reinvent selling for the 21st century,” said Brian Fetherstonhaugh, Chairman and CEO of OgilvyOne Worldwide.
Because the standard of entries was so high, another eight contestants from countries including India, Germany, the USA and our very own UK, have had their highly commended videos included on an ‘Honour Roll” which can also be viewed at Ogilvy’s youtube channel.
