Hundreds of calories expended. Splashing everywhere!  But she’s not moving very fast through the water.  Meanwhile\, the swimmer in the lane next to her doesn’t look like she’s working very hard but glides across the pool with far less effort. \nDoes your benefit auction effort feel more splash than cash?  Or at the very least\, like it could be so much more efficient and effective? This webinar will focus on key strategies needed to increase your fundraising\, turbo-charge your live auction\, maximize your special appeal\, and focus on what’s IMPORTANT\, instead of what feels URGENT. \nDuring this webinar\, you will learn best practices for: \n\nWhich part of your fundraiser brings in the most money\nTips for drastically increasing your live auction revenue\nHow to craft your best special appeal strategy\nHow to tell your story to maximize impact\nTools to get you on track and ahead of the curve\n\nJust a few elements virtually always comprise the lion’s share of benefit auction revenues.  Let us share what we’ve learned over 2\,000 auctions! \n  \nLive Webinar – Wednesday\, July 18th\, 2018\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific\n*Can’t attend live?
