First year raising funds for a new organization…effectively same audience as last year Their efforts last year from live auction were approximately 10k. This year, after consulting them pre-event on various live methods of fundraising and run of show, the group landed on doing Heads or Tails to kick off the live portion of the event, followed by live auction of 8 items and then a mission moment story with a paddle raise. The heads or tails raised $2050. Live Auction raised $36,600 Paddle raise did $26,200 Total live brought $64,850 vs the $10,600 last year! 6X their live total of previous year = one happy customer!! Needless to say, the event is won prior to event night.

Had an event last week, 2 items and a fund-n-need raised around $120K. Had 2 the week before 6 & 8 items raised over $100K!

November 14th, Palm City, Florida and Chapel Hill, NC. Who might be available?

I am so excited for our newest coaching option...I can tell you she's a STAR! You can book time directly with her:) Any guesses?

When I’m teaching bid calling I tell the students that as the bid calling process becomes more natural they need to begin putting 4-7 word selling phrases into the process. Selling breeding females “EXTREMELY FEMININE”, “THEY’LL LOOK CHEAPER WITH BABIES BY THEM””!”. Selling furniture “, “NICE MARBLE TOP” or “CABRIOLET LEGS”. Used in place of a standard filler. With some thought this can be applied to any type of auction.
