PROFESSIONAL BID
SPOTTER

A unique and valuable service that can (earn) increase revenue from 20% upwards to 50%.

The "Primary Bid Spotter" motivates and personally engages the potential buyers to stretch a little more, "give a little more for the cause."

Working as an extension of the auctioneer, they keenly follow his verbal queues and hand signals that prompt the how, when, and where to "work the bidder."

This service is included.
Additional volunteers "Auction Angels" will be needed and their training is also inclusive. A short seminar will be provided to instruct and motivate volunteers on how to have fun and be helpful in encouraging bids.
