Lazada’s Seller Ambassador Award Program is an annual award given out to only the top and best sellers in the community. This is a yearly renewable award program that recognizes the contributions made by sellers during the past 9 months to Lazada’s ecommerce platform. LazSA or City Leaders (naming in Indonesia) are frontrunners in the community, excellent seller ambassadors and willing to engage in discussion with the Lazada’s product team. This is a community of opinion leaders and seller advocates that represents the spirit of the seller community.

We want to recognize and reward the exceptional sellers who are active in their own community and role models on and off the site. On top of that, we want to build a self-sustaining and engaging community of Lazada’s exceptional sellers by inspiring them to learn and share insights from each other to improve their ecommerce business.

The Lazada Seller Ambassador Award Program has a stringent selection process. The nomination award cycle takes place bi-yearly — April & October. Potential candidates are reviewed and evaluated based on their contributions which consider 3 major criteria – business operation, operation drivers and sellers’ level of impact made to our Lazada ecommerce platform. A diverse team of internal stakeholders from different teams will review the nominations together to ensure that each candidate gets a fair representation from different perspective.

We want to ensure the best individuals are recognized for their outstanding contributions. Hence, only exceptional sellers are recruited to become a Lazada Seller Ambassador (LazSA). With the exception for Indonesia where they are called City Leaders due to a primary legacy, the naming convention across 5 countries is for better alignment with our brand and marketing consistency. This is to also help build awareness that allows our sellers to be easily and immediately recognize our brand and be associated with it.

This is a nomination-only process. To join the team of exceptional sellers, individuals must be nominated by Lazada employees, existing LazSA/City Leader or own-self nominate. Each nomination will then be reviewed based on the Lazada Seller Ambassador criterion.

The Lazada Seller Ambassador Award cycle will take place every bi-yearly — April & October. Local SE Community Team will review and deliberate the list of nominees they received. Selected LazSNCity Leader will be announced on each award cycle — namely April 1 and October 1. This goes the same for the renewal cycle process. Example: April 1,2020 awardees will be up for renewal on April 1, 2021. Oct 1, 2020 awardees will be up for renewal on Oct 1, 2021.
