Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Auctioneer Mistake That's Killing Your Fundraiser | Jordan Agolli
Q: What are the essential questions to ask nonprofits before taking on a gala?
Key questions include understanding why they're having the gala, what went wrong at past events, and ensuring alignment of culture and mission; also understanding their pre-event process and what outcomes they want to achieve.
The Auctioneer Mistake That's Killing Your Fundraiser | Jordan Agolli
Q: What sparked Jordan's transition from MCing to benefit auctioneering?
He was already comfortable on stage and in events, but a thoughtful push from a nonprofit he worked with led him to try auctioneering; after prepping and convincing the team, he ran his first auction and saw substantial results, which built his belief in the role.
What Two Auctioneers Wish Every Nonprofit Knew Before Their Gala | Chris Hensley & Brett Higgins
Q: Storytelling vs. celebration—which should dominate and why?
Celebration tends to motivate more generous giving because people feel good about contributing to a successful outcome, though storytelling has its place if it directly supports understanding the impact and fuels the emotional connection.
What Two Auctioneers Wish Every Nonprofit Knew Before Their Gala | Chris Hensley & Brett Higgins
Q: What part of a fundraising program is often in the wrong place?
Many organizations place fundraising at the end, after a long speech; instead, every element should build toward fundraising throughout the program, with the paddle raise and donor recognition integrated at moments of peak emotional engagement.
What Two Auctioneers Wish Every Nonprofit Knew Before Their Gala | Chris Hensley & Brett Higgins
Q: What piece of advice would you give every nonprofit leader before their next event?
Start thinking now about how we can affect their emotional connection to what you're accomplishing immediately, not six months from now, and tailor every element to build that connection toward fundraising momentum.
