Business Leads Challenge: Help Wazoku Find Its Next Customer

OVERVIEW

Wazoku is on a mission to change the world through innovation – and we need your help to find the right people to speak with. If you know of a company that could benefit from our software and services, submit a qualified lead and you could earn up to 5% of the Total Contract Value (TCV), up to US$10,000, if the business signs with us.

We’re looking for relevant, real connections that can unlock new customer opportunities. Share a contact’s name, title, business, and email – and if you can help make the introduction yourself, even better.

This is your chance to help drive innovation and be rewarded for your network.

By taking part in and submitting to this Prize Challenge you are granting Wazoku a right to use (but not own) your submitted lead information.

This Challenge requires a written submission, and rewards will be subject to satisfactory meeting of the terms of this Challenge and a conditional agreement signed between Wazoku and your lead's business, with strong verification of your role in referring the lead.

Submissions to this Challenge will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Please review the later Participation Guidance section before submitting a proposal.

THE CHALLENGE

Background

Wazoku offers a suite of innovation tools and services, including:

• Idea Management Software - To capture, evaluate, and implement ideas across employees, customers, or partners.
• Open Innovation/Crowdsourcing - through our Wazoku Crowd, we run problem statements ('Challenges') to source and solve real-world opportunities.
• Ecosystem Management - tools that help businesses manage, evaluate, and engage with their customers, suppliers, or others in a unified platform. It's a CRM for innovation!
• Consulting & Implementation - we offer expert services to help organizations activate innovation programs, engage stakeholders, and drive measurable ROI.

In the last year alone, we've: facilitated a $10m prize in water for GPID, connected leading solutions to A2A with the help of our partner BlueThink, and powered the UK Civil Service's OneBigThing initiative for civil servants to make small, impactful changes that spark innovation across departments.

We're now looking to expand our sourcing of leads to the Wazoku Crowd's contact lists - and you may know just the person who needs our services.

The Challenge

Do you know a decision-maker or influential buyer who would benefit from Wazoku’s software or services?

We want you to:

• Identify relevant business leads – individuals who are positioned to purchase or strongly influence the purchase of innovation software, open innovation services, or ecosystem engagement platforms.

• Share their contact details.

• Bonus: Help us make contact via a warm introduction or endorsement.

The ideal lead is someone working in innovation, strategy, sustainability, transformation, operations, procurement, or similar functions within medium-to-large enterprises, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or government bodies.

You may submit as many relevant leads as you like. If a lead converts into a paying customer, you’ll be eligible to receive up to 5% of the Total Contract Value (TCV), up to US$10,000, of the initial sale, subject to our terms and verification.
