Summary
What are the keys to creating a strong relationship with an auctioneer to drive revenue and impact at your annual gala? Today, I talk with Carrie Frugé, Founder of Biddy Up Auctioneer, to discuss this critical topic. A sales executive, turned auctioneer, Carrie has spent a career developing strong relationships with clients to ensure customers are happy and remain loyal. All skills that are critical in maintaining successful donor relationships. A few years ago, Carrie decided to take her natural sales skills and pursue a true passion - raising funds for nonprofits as an auctioneer. She has already made her mark on the Austin fundraising scene and beyond, serving as auctioneer for high-profile events including the Round Top Film Festival Gala and EASB Live! Carrie provides valuable insights on creating impactful and memorable live auctions, including tips on raising a room's energy, understanding your donors, tying strategic donors to specific auction items/paddles-up levels, and so much more.
