[Editors’ Note: We’re reposting this to the top of the order because Endeavor and snowboarding in general need your help now. Max Jenke is currently in second place (to a sign printer no less) in the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award race and voting ends at 9 AM PST on Tuesday morning June 11, 2013. That means we all only have two days to tip this vote for snowboarding. Click here to vote every day! Your vote could mean $100,000 to an independent snowboarding company.]
Endeavor Design Inc’s Max Jenke is up for the Business Development Bank of Canada’s BDC Young Entrepreneur Award thanks to his work with Endeavor Snowboards. Sure, it would be nice to win the title, but the title comes with a $100,000 prize that Max hopes to blow on beer and nuts use to move Endeavour and Air Hole into the US market, according to a story in the Vancouver Sun.
Jenke would use the award money for time management and customer service software, and to engage established, on-the-ground sales agencies throughout the U.S. Having credible agencies that already represent compatible brands is crucial, he said. . . “You really need to be down there to make an impact,” but selling “hard goods is hard,” Jenke said. “It’s like selling cars. There’s a lot of work for not a lot of return for the sales reps.”
This is where we all can help. Max needs us all to vote for him. Max is currently in 5th place and we need to move him right on up to number one. Sign in with Facebook and get your vote on now. Do it for Endeavor. Do it for snowboarding! Vote! Then, vote again.
