VIDEO: The one thing to NEVER say on stage at your auction

Sherry Truhlar 2 Comments

When it comes to benefit auction ideas, sometimes the simplest tips are worth thousands of dollars. This is one.

Experience has taught me to never, ever say or reference this when you’re on stage at the auction.

Watch the video below.

 

Fund a need DVD and bookletWhat else should — or shouldn’t — be said when you’re on stage?  

Well, if you’re running a Fund a Need at your gala, there is an art and a science to it.  It’s a process unto itself, often replete with videos, speakers, someone “asking” for the money, and a sub-process for properly collecting all that cash.

In Fabulous Fund a Need Secrets, you’ll get transcripts, sample videos, and more. Get details here.
