Is there a way to inspire generosity?
Hi. I'm Richard O'Keef, and I've discovered there are certain things you and I can do to bring out the generosity in people.
You see, generosity is an emotion, and the amount of money people spend at your fundraising event will depend on how they feel. From the moment your guests step into your event until the time they leave, they are in YOUR realm of influence. What you do (or fail to do) during that time will make a difference in how generous your guests feel. Here is what I've discovered:
If your guests feel like royalty, get choked up with emotion over your cause, want what you're selling, and discover the thrill of bidding, not only will they give you a lot of their money, they will thank YOU on their way out.
I will show you how to make that happen when I meet with you and your committee. But if we cannot get together...
Bid Calling
I've discovered that guests react differently to the different styles that auctioneers use when calling for bids – be they professional auctioneers or not. Some styles can be boring and uninspiring – even irritating and insulting. After all the work you've done, you want an auctioneer who can get the audience caught up in the thrill up bidding.
