You can't lead others unless you first lead yourself (self-leadership is the first principle)
To get results you need a leadership framework ( expectations X mindset and motivation X Right Behaviors
Leadership is a series of conversations with people (These conversations are like 'plays' in sports)
We need to master synchronous and asynchronous leadership in a digital world
Kids understand the power of ownership (responsibility), so there's no excuse

Why Use a Benefit Auctioneer Aug 23, 2022

Why Use a Benefit Auctioneer:

Interview with Dean Crownover

Why hire a professional for the fundraising (it’s so much cheaper to do it on our own)!?

Hey – valid question. What a lot of people don’t realize is that auctioneers need to be licensed in many states – like Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama. There are legalities around selling items, even for charity, and you need to be covered. Make sure you know the rules for your state.

What’s even more important for your nonprofit, though, is that a professional auctioneer can maximize the revenue you generate at your event. After all, why put in all the time and effort of hosting a gala NOT to generate the most money you possibly can to support your mission?

And if you ARE hiring a professional, check out Chapter 7 of my book to learn how to hire a benefit auctioneer for your event. You’ll want to know some important details like…

How much experience do they have being a profit consultant?

How much funds have they helped raise?

Who else have they worked with (and were their clients happy)?

An auctioneer can boost the price of your auction items and (hopefully) keep your audience entertained, but are they holistically looking at your whole event and identifying ways to increase funds and revenue?

This is my FAVORITE part of what I do. As a Profit Consultant I look for all areas and opportunities to cover your event costs, increase the amount people give and new ways to create more revenue even before or after the event is over. Then, at your event, I auction-tain your donors from stage to open their wallets and give generously!

Dean Crownover, My Benefit Auctioneer, is a Profit Consultant and author, with a track record of raising millions of fundraising dollars for his nonprofit clients. Jane Fonda said “Dean Crownover is a dynamic auctioneer with the fast-talking pizzazz needed to rake it in!” He is the author of PADDLES UP! My Benefit Auctioneer Reveals Post-2020 Gala Fundraiser Secrets. The book shares proven fundraising strategies, including those that emerged from virtual events during the pandemic, and how they can be incorporated for live events.
