Talent

Before we talk about our talented roster of auctioneers, emcees, bid spotters, consultants and audio visual techs let’s take a moment to appreciate the most talented people involved in the benefit auction business: that would be you.

Make no mistake about it: without your talents as a committed, passionate organizer, a successful consensus-builder, a time-manager extraordinaire and an all-around creative, clever person, the benefit you seek to support would be challenged. If we had a Hollywood walk of fame for auction organizers, we’d put your name on it. (But first you’ll have to call us and tell us your name.)

Our house of talent includes dozens of seasoned veterans of the auctioneer craft. We call it a craft because it takes a special talent to get folks to open their wallets. It’s a high-energy, high-excitement, charged atmosphere and being experienced means our auctioneers know exactly how to manage the flow of energy, pushing it from one side of the room to another, slowing things down to clarify a moment, swinging to the folks in the back of the room who think they’ll be ignored, and ramping everyone up for a big-ticket item.

Reading the pulse of the crowd and responding to it appropriately is imperative. People are not born knowing how to do this. But watching our team of emcees and auctioneers in action, you’d never guess they didn’t start doing this at birth.

Enlisting our services means you get to review our roster of auctioneers and emcees. We’re not being secretive because we’re hoity-toity. It’s just that our auctioneers and emcees are actual people with ideas of their own and not everybody wants video images of themselves sailing around the Internet all willy-nilly. So for the time being we keep that stuff under password.
