Friends of the Arizona Cancer Center Auction

2009-03-22T20:48:00.001-07:00

We had a great night March 14th, 2009 working for the Friends of the Arizona Cancer Center "Evening in the Park" event. It was an honor to work with my dad Gary and brother Noah, who both did a great job. We were in charge of selling the items on the "Big Board" during the silent auction/mingling portion of the night. If you don't know what the big board is, it's like the "Price's Rite" where bidders come up and tell us which item they would like to bid on and where they would like to start the bid or up the current bid. We would then add or erase the lower bid and write in the new one. At a specified time we have an open call for bids on each item in a live auction format. Some people like to bid early on the items and some like to wait until the live auction. I like this method as it gives people a good warm up to the live auction and it gives us auctioneers a starting price for each item. It also gives us some time to warm up to the crowd and to really discribe what items we are selling and what the charity is all about. I kind of felt like Bob Barker the whole night, I guess he is a Bobby B! Great auction and turn-out, thanks to all the bidders and the Friends of the AZ Cancer Center having us back, looking forward to next year!

Smiling Equals Sales!!!

Smiling Equals Sales!!!

Who guessed it? Thats right, smiling equals sales, its a great sales tactic. I try to smile the whole time I am auctioneer or interacting with the buying crowd. Sometimes we get wrapped up in our own world that we forget to smile. It is so important because it lets people know you are comfortable in your enviroment and situation. A smile also creates a fun atmosphere and a fun atmosphere let bidders feel more comfortable to bid. So at your next auction or event, remember to SMILE!!! :-)

Using a Professional Auctioneer in these economic times

2008-11-11T13:11:00.001-08:00

It is extremely important in these economic times to use a professional auctioneer to guarantee success at your auctions. True professionals have the training, experience, enthusiasm, and dedication to help generate the highest returns possible. There are many fly by night auctioneers who spout off how good they are, how fast they talk, and how sweet their song is. What is really important is if the auctioneer has the skills and drive to work with the auction patrons to lift that bid card or to raise their hand in open bidding. A successful professional will create an open bidding atmosphere that generates more and more bids with each call of the auction. Bidders are very fickle with their wallets these days and by creating this comfortable atmosphere, they will feel free to spend and in turn increase the returns of the auction. True professionals know timing and the correct sales tactics to create this atmosphere and gives the bidder freedom to raise the bid. All bidders have gathered at the auction to bid, but some are scared or apprehensive to do so, it is our job and duty as a professional auctioneer to ease these tensions and let the bidder do what they came to do and that is to bid!
