Just ran an auction inside a trading discord community of about 300 members. I'm still in the dm's with some people but it looks like maybe I can tap one more sale in... Partner is happy since he hired closers -- booked 30 sales calls and couldn't close a single one. Then I run the auction and they almost can't believe how easy that was to get two peeps asking to give us their money lol. However there's some lessons learned so I can flip the coin again for the next auction Here's how it went down: I ran a pre auction poll that got a solid engagement about 40 people engaged that they'd bid at least $1. One person in the comments (the one who won the auction) Said he's ready to get it started now and placed a bid lol. So that was validation that we should run the auction. The plan was to run the auction the entire trading day. So from market open to market close. I think that was a mistake since not a lot of people were in the comments bidding until the very end which was like a span of 8 hours. Then people at the end were trying to beat each other but the bids hadn't even gotten that high... We had a total of about 20 bidders. The highest bid was $2504 We had 5 bids ofer $500 One sale tapped into a group coaching for $2500. In hindsight I think I should have not said when it was going to end. This would have probably made the biggest difference since there were still people trying to bid at the end. And given the offer so much more social proof and the sales easier on the backend. If you guys have any questions for clarity on anything specific or feedback that'd be amazing. Here's the offer for the auction: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PtWofTunMb6RxKbJpSJkyt73910ngqvAxt-dSnoovmA/edit?usp=sharing Appreciate yall!

We’re running a Pop-Up Auction for a partner, and they want the whole thing to be completely hands-off. I'm going to create the Skool group where the auction will take place. Since I’ll technically be the creator, the group will show as “By My Name,” but the audience doesn’t know me at all. My initial plan was: In the emails driving people to the Skool group, I’d just say something like: “My assistant David set up a new Skool group where the auction will take place. Is there another way to handle this? Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Any advice is appreciated! @Travis Sago

@Marcus Karl and I are wrapping up our first auction this weekend. I was positive it would do well. But damn... I didn't think it would go this well. Believe it or not, this is my first time making money on a campaign! QLL deal in May: Flop Poll tap deal in June: Mega flop Auction in December: *Great Success!* (Borat voice) All I needed was a damn win. Now we're working on two more auction campaigns!

Hey guys! Got a deal with a guy in the retirement planning niche. We're going for an auction According to his experience, their biiiiggest fear is losing their money. Running out of resources. Can you help me with the pre-auction? Specific problem: fear of running out of money before running outta life Who: retirees and close-to-retiring peeps who are actively looking for a better way to handle their money Help? :) ====== Subject: Retirees running out of money early Body: I’ve figured out the blind spots that make retirees run out of money early. The surprising part? They show up in almost every plan I review. That’s a real problem, so I want to test something new. What if I went through your savings, 401k, IRA, and Social Security setup… Found the blind spots quietly draining your nest egg, and gave you a personalized plan to fix them, so you can finally feel in control of what's ahead? No fluff. No generic advice. Just a clear, step-by-step plan in plain English. If I held an auction to create that custom plan for you... Would you bid at least $1? Please hit reply and answer with A, B, C, or D: A: I’d bid 1 dollar. No more details needed B: I’d bid 100 dollars or more C: I’d bid 1,000 dollars or more D: Count me out,

My new Giving Fun-Nel is not only getting 1 in 5 people to respond...(see pic 👇) COMPLETE STRANGERS... It's also taking people from 🧊to 🫠🔥 And getting WARM CONVOS open... That is leading to DEALS (Auction Hero) and other types of collabs. It's fun and NOT WEIRD feeling too! (BTW: this is only 72 records of a 4,000 person (and growing) database.) 👉Any interest in the Giving Fun-nel?
