Sales Navigator Customer Contest - Official Rules

 
  1. No Purchase Necessary; Entry Instructions. No purchase or payment of any money is necessary to enter.  A purchase will not improve the chances of winning.

    To enter the promotion, between 6:00 am Pacific Time on December 13, 2017 and 11:59 pm Pacific Time on December 31, 2017 (the “Entry Period”), existing users of LinkedIn’s Sales Navigator product should post a story on LinkedIn or Twitter describing the success that they have had using the LinkedIn Sales Navigator product and including the hashtag “#RealSales”. There is a limit of one entry per individual per platform (LinkedIn and Twitter). In the event of a dispute as to any entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address or Twitter username associated with the entry will be deemed to be the entrant.

    All entries must meet the following criteria:

    ● Your entry must not contain confidential information of any entity or individual;
    ● Your entry must be original, exclusively created and owned by entrant, and the entrant must have all rights necessary to post the entry. This includes getting all necessary permissions from any person or company that has rights in the entry;
    ● Your entry must be submitted in English;
    ● Your entry may only be submitted by posting on Twitter or LinkedIn using the hashtag “#RealSales”.

    LinkedIn Corporation (“Sponsor”) reserves the right to reject any entry for any reason. The Official Rules of this promotion will be sent free of charge to any person who requests it. By entering this contest, you give consent to Sponsor to “like” or “retweet” your posted entry on LinkedIn or Twitter. By posting an entry, your entry may be modified, such as for spelling and grammar, before being used by Sponsor. The Official Rules are subject to change at any time.

  2. Entry Period. All entries must be received during the dates and times specified in the Entry Period.  Sponsor will make awards based on skill – this is not a sweepstakes.  Odds of winning the promotion depend on the number and quality of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. Sponsor’s computer is the official timekeeping device for the Entry Period.

  3. Eligibility.  In order to be eligible, each entrant must be (i) at least 18 years old and the age of majority in his or her jurisdiction of residence, (ii) a legal resident of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada (excluding Quebec), Australia, France, the Netherlands, Spain, the Republic of Ireland, India, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Denmark, Mexico, Colombia, Poland, New Zealand, Argentina, China, Finland, Austria, or Norway, and (iii) an existing, i.e., registered, user of LinkedIn’s Sales Navigator product prior to the beginning of the Entry Period. Employees of Sponsor and its parent and affiliate companies as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and household members of each such employee are not eligible.

  4. Winner Selection and Prize. Sponsor will select one winner. Sponsor will notify Winner within approximately ten (10) days following selection. Sponsor is not responsible for any delay or failure to receive notification for any reason. Winner must then respond to Sponsor within fourteen (14) days. Should a Winner fail to respond to Sponsor, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify that Winner and select a new one. The winner will receive an Apple Watch (ARV: USD $329).

    The Winner will be determined based on the following:

    ● Showing impact to bottom line that can be attributed to Sales Navigator - 50%
    - For example: "Sales Navigator increased our pipeline by 3x! We closed 3x more deals with Sales Navigator!" 
    ● Successfully articulating favorite feature - 50%

    The Sponsor's decision is final and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into regarding the selection of Winner.
