Susan has competed several years in the Ohio
State Auctioneer's Bid Calling Contest and in 2007 and 2008 was earned
the top prize of Bid Calling Champion.
Susan competed each year against approximately 25 other contestants who
are all licensed Auctioneers in Ohio. There were five judges for the contest. Each judge scored in the following categories: Salesmanship, Speech and Bid Calling Ability, and Enthusiasm. Categories were weighted by the following: introduction and initial command, appearance and poise -- 10%; body language, eye contact and surveying of crowd -- 10%; chant, clarity, speed, rhythm and timing --50%; interview question -- 20%; the last 10% of the judging was based on whether the bid caller would be considered a good ambassador for the State of Ohio. Susan is only the second female to hold the title of Champion and she proud to represent Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana in Auctioneering. Please contact us for more information. |

SNAPSHOT ON CHARITY AUCTIONS
Charity auctions are the fourth-fastest growing specialty segment within the auction industry. Since 2003, total growth of this auction segment has climbed 21.1%. Approximately two-thirds of NAA members conducted one or more charity auctions in 2007. Non-profit organizations realize that using a professional Auctioneer for fund-raisers can raise more money, provide greater entertainment, and protect the organization from problems and legal liabilities compared to a non-professional.
