1. Charisma- Your fundraising auctioneer needs to be able to captivate and motivate the audience.
2. Salesmanship- Fundraising auctioneers main responsability is to get the highest bid possible for each item to benefit your organization.
3. Experience and versatility- Every organization, and every auction is different.  Your fundraising auctioneer needs to be able to adapt to your venue, your clients, and your auction items.  An experienced fundraising auctioneer will be comfortable in a room with 500 people, or 30 people, will have done auctions that raise $15,000, and auctions that have raised $1,000,000 plus. 

Many benefit auctioneers, charity auctioneers, and fundraising auctioneers will claim that they are entertaining, or that entertainment is the most important quality in a fundraising auctioneer.  We believe that entertainment falls under both the Charisma, and the Salesmanship quality.
