"Our judging panel has greatly enjoyed meeting and reviewing all of the companies that submitted this year. Now we're down to the final stretch and we can't wait to see what the rest of the CRM community thinks," Greenberg said in a statement. "Ultimately it's up to the end users and a much larger judging panel to decide the winner. That's why this portion of the competition is so critical."
Each finalist will now create a five-minute video about its company and product. From November 16 to November 30, the videos will be exposed to two kinds of voting: a popular vote and extended judges vote. When the voting closes on November 30, there will be a five-day period for tallying the votes. The winners of the 2012 CRM Idol competition will be announced on December 5.
