Oct. 23, 2013 - SAN DIEGO -- Benefit
auction consultant and professional ringman, Connie Waddell with Elite
Auctions and Fundraising Services wins the 2013 California State
Auctioneers Association Ringman Championship in San Diego, CA! What is a
ringman you ask? As defined on Elite Auctions and Fundraising
Services' website (
http://www.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
(http://www.elitefundraisingauctions.com).
Connie is from
Long Beach, CA and her company is located in Bakersfield, CA. She has a
passion for the auction industry with a special place in her heart for
nonprofit organizations. Her company has literally raised millions of
dollars to benefit all of the wonderful causes that nonprofits and
schools have to offer in all areas of California.
