Fact: Auction checkout will be the most challenging process you’ll face in your benefit auction.

- Some guests never pay for items; others are charged twice.
- And the stress! At night’s end – when 200 guests line up to pay for purchases – it’s overwhelming. Your volunteers are running a complex process most will only oversee once in their lifetime.
This 50-minute FREE audio training is perfect for first-time benefit auctions or those using minimal technology and struggling with auction check-out.
