SUMMARY:Webinar: The Truth About The Top 5 Auction Myths with Kilbreath Auctions
DESCRIPTION:This Webinar is available on-demand—watch it now! \nThe Truth About the Top 5 Auction Myths\nOne of the main things your auctioneer should be doing is consulting. Your auctioneer does 50\, 75\, 100 events a year – so they should be taking information from those events and helping you decide best practices for your event. 80% of what the auctioneer does should be spent before your event – making sure the plan is set for you to raise the most money possible for your organization. We know how difficult it is to plan an event\, and in this webinar\, we will debunk common auction myths. \nDuring the webinar\, Stephen will cover: \n\nDo more auction items and more guests mean more money?\nCan you predict how much money you will make at your event?\nDoes it really matter who the auctioneer is?\n\nLive Webinar – Wednesday\, February 12th\, 2020\n2:00 pm-3:00 pm Eastern / 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific\n*Can’t attend live? Register anyway and receive the recording after the webinar!\n  \nYour Presenter:\nStephen Kilbreath. Kilbreath Auctions\nStephen has been a fundraising auctioneer since the early 90s\, calling hundreds of auctions and raising millions of dollars. Stephen’s sincerity\, authenticity and a terrific understanding of benefit auctions make him stand out. His style is entertaining and conversational-making it an enjoyable and memorable evening for your guests. Stephen excels at connecting and reading his audiences\, all resulting in generating the most revenue possible for his auction clients. \nHe has taught classes\, and has mentored auctioneers across the country and has earned the rare Benefit Auction Specialist designation through the National Auctioneers Association. Less than 1% of auctioneers nationally have achieved that designation! \nNot only is Stephen a top benefit auctioneer in the Northwest-his name may be familiar because of his long broadcasting career. He was on the morning radio for more than 20 years. Currently\, he can be seen on KING-5 television. \nStephen lives in Snoqualmie\, WA where he enjoys his two boys Ben (13)\, and Jack (9).
