I’ve got a complementary training coming up that EVERYONE involved in your auction should attend. It’s about learning how to ask.
Imagine being so confident with the idea of asking for donations that your team was EAGER to pick up the phone, pound the pavement, or chat up strangers at a dinner party.
Can you envision how would your auction change? You’d get a lot more quality donations, bigger cash gifts, and nicer sponsorships. That’s exciting!
Auctions begin with a confident ask.
Given that so much is riding on your “asking prowess,” I’m interviewing a guru on the subject, Marc Pitman. He’s written several books and conducts many trainings based on his Ask Without Fear® program.
