Auction Consulting We begin the consulting process by meeting with the committee and understanding the goals for the event. Our job is not to tell the committee what to do, but to advise and consult with them on what works well, what will not work (from our experience) and what areas are likely to benefit from some experimentation. We do not want to dampen creativity. To the contrary, we want the creativity to flow - but directed in areas where it will not be costly to the process. The "basics" of your event business do not need to be invented, only managed. We help your committee understand those basics and once they have that understanding, they can be much more creative in building a wonderful event that will be the envy of those who must create their event from scratch.
Of course, we provide your committee with a step-by-step guide that’s a wealth of knowledge on benefit auctions. In the guide, they will find sample forms, timelines and milestones, budgets, job descriptions, room layout guides, lighting and sound specifications, goal setting tools, sample letters, invitations and catalog descriptions, and numerous other tools at their disposal. We even provide a handy list of hundreds of sample auction items – our "ABC's of Item Procurement" covering every letter in the alphabet, literally organized from A to Z! Click here for your own copy to use at your procurement kick off meetings.
We train you, guide you, help motivate your committee, troubleshoot your processes, keep you on track and share in your success.
We are your auction event guide, and we will help you make more money, and have more fun doing it - guaranteed! |

“We did everything you said to do in the Workshop, and increased our revenue from $189,000 last year to over $525,000 this year! The entire school is buzzing!”
Betsy Marchiorlatti, Mariners Christian School, Newport Beach |
With your tips, we raised over $83,000 in our silent and live auctions, where last year we raised only $42,000. I’m thrilled I took the Workshop, and wanted to thank you for all your ideas and help. Thanks a million!”
Mary K. Marmo, Morgan Park Academy, Chicago |
| "Jay encouraged us to think out-side the box and to seriously consider making money not just from the procurements. At least a third of our profit came from cash made from fund-a-need, an awesome raffle, a dessert frenzy and regrets donations." Stella Jaeger - Clothes For Kids, Bellevue WA |
I was extremely pleased once I attended Jay’s Workshop and learned several new ideas on running our charity auction...I thought I had tried every trick in the book as far as our auction was concerned, but Jay had fabulous ideas that will help us generate more revenue for the Ronald McDonald Houses of North Carolina.”
Pam Crocker, Michael Jordan Celebrity Golf Classic |
Our little preschool raised $23K last year. After attending your workshop and implementing your ideas, we nearly doubled our take to $45K! Well worth the $250 cost to attend your workshop! Thank you so much!" -
Mary O'Hern, Sonoma CA |
"Last year we raised $775 in the "Fund-A-Need" portion of our live auction. We attended your workshop and followed your advice and this year we raised $14,400!"
Mara Lee Ebert, Sonoma, CA |
"We followed through on your suggestion of getting sponsorships for our fundraiser. We quickly put together a five year business plan and a sponsorship package on glossy paper and hit the streets. Imagine our surprise when we recieved $25,000 from the FIRST corporation we asked! And to think we never charged more than $25 for an ad in previous
catalogs! We are still floating!"
