What is a ringman you ask? As defined on Elite Auctions and Fundraising Services’ website (https://elitefundraisingauctions.com): Professional Ringmen is an auction term used to describe a person or persons who work the auction floor before, during and after the auction and are primarily used during the Live Auction. They work directly with the Auctioneer, your staff and your guests. You may know them as “Bid Spotters”. They have received in-depth training on all aspects of the auction process, are experienced in bid spotting and making guests feel comfortable to make just one more bid to support your cause. Simply put, Ringmen can help you take your Event to the next level and can easily add an additional 10 -15% to your Live Auction revenues.
It is simply impressive to see a fundraising ringman win a competition that is dominated by cattle and auto
auctioneers and ringmen. Connie attended the Professional Ringmen’s Institute in Rogersville Missouri several years ago and has been honing her skills in the ring ever since by assisting with fundraisers and real estate auction events. Her company, Elite Auctions and Fundraising Services also won Best Auction Firm Website in 2013 in the California State Auctioneers Association marketing competition (https://elitefundraisingauctions.com).
