Volunteer Auctioneers
Some groups use “volunteer auctioneers.” The auctioneer might be a Board member, the local mayor, or a gregarious Dad.
Chances are, your volunteer is happy to help but nervous about the role.
To boost your volunteer’s confidence and ensure he or she shines to the best of his or her ability, we offer coaching.
| “We were committed to using a volunteer auctioneer for our school auction, but we recognized the need to have some professional guidance. In four hours, Red Apple Auctions provided us with many ideas which improved our logistics, boosted our yields, and really impacted our bottom line. And, our guests loved the changes!” Westminster Academy (Fort Lauderdale, FL) |
