PODCAST: Benefit auction secrets – One DISadvantage of a large crowd

benefit auction secrets - Disadvantage of large crowds

Over 1200 guests attended this 2012 event in Washington, D.C.  Managing a crowd this size isn’t easy!

Just because your benefit auctioneer knows how to manage 250 people doesn’t mean he’s ready to oversee your gala of 1,000 guests.

His ego, enthusiasm, or lack of money in the bank might have him saying, “I can do this!”

But his experience level might suggest that he needs to stick with smaller groups for a couple more years (or longer). 

If you move forward, you’re taking a risk.  In today’s podcast, learn how to negotiate those risks.

Listen to the podcast below.
