About the Awards
The Trust & Transparency Awards by Endless Customers recognize companies that live out The Four Pillars of Endless Customers: They say what others are unwilling to say. They show the truth through honest, visual content. They sell in a way that puts buyers first. And they work hard to stay human when and where it matters.
The awards will serve as a symbol of excellence, helping companies highlight their commitment to serving their customers.

Submissions are open July 7 - July 31

Fearless Content Award

The Fearless Content Award honors companies that say what others won’t. These businesses are courageously transparent, publishing content that tackles the real questions buyers are asking even when competitors shy away.

- Have published at least 1 piece of content for each of The Big 5
- Publish new content at least twice per month
- Maintain an online learning center with searchable, filterable, organized, Endless Customers content
Transparency in Video Award
This award celebrates the brands that show what others won’t. These companies use video to showcase what others in their industry shy away from. They pull back the curtain, answer the real questions, and make the invisible visible. Whether it’s through The Selling 7 videos, process walk-throughs, or raw behind-the-scenes content, their videos build trust and let their audience see what others just say.
To be eligible, you must:
- Manage video production internally via a dedicated team member who is empowered, trained, and accountable.
- Have published at least five of The Selling 7 videos on your website
- Maintain a consistent publishing schedule of videos aligned with the Endless Customers System
- Have team members who appear confidently on-camera, reflecting solid training and company buy-in.
- Achieve measurable results from video content (e.g., increased leads, sales, or customer trust). For example:
- Did you implement landing page videos and see a noticeable increase in leads?
- Does your youtube channel generate revenue for your company through the partner program?
- Have you run any successful A/B tests on web pages with video v. without?

To be eligible, you must:
