Your Benefit Auctioneer?
DOE'S YOUR BENEFIT AUCTIONEER:
Meet with your committee continually from early in the planning process? Make himself available to take phone calls and answer questions? Bring new ideas, both his and from his network of Benefit Auctioneers? Have a list of vendors that may offer assistance to your Gala? Offer auction supplies? Know how and when to change bidding increments? Sell your items with an "auction chant" or do a monologue, tell jokes and just ask for bids? Help you organize the order of the live auction items? Suggest items that sell and don't sell in live auctions? Suggest additional revenue enhancing ideas? Have experience and stage presence? Facilitate the entire evening, making announcements and closing silent auctions? Add your Benefit Auction announcement to his web site? Help you put your items into online bidding? Meet with you at your post-auction meeting?
These are only a few of the questions you should ask yourself when deciding on who to trust to help with your annual fund raiser. This is your one night, your organization is depending on the proceeds to help their programs.
An Professional Auctioneer is trained to sell, that's how he earns a paycheck. A "Professional Benefit Auctioneer" is not only trained to sell, he has taken the time to study the art of Benefit Auctions, networks with Benefit Auctioneers across the country, regularly helps plan and conduct Benefit Auction Galas throughout the year and does all of the above list and "more"
