 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our organization was thrilled to work with Eric Goodman of Your FUNdraising team this year. Eric served as our auctioneer. From months before the event until the last paddle was raised, Eric brought his A-Game and infectious energy to our event and our organization. Eric was ALWAYS available to answer questions and to talk strategy in the weeks leading up to our Gala. Teaming up with Eric this year helped us surpass the money raised last year by over 25%! (Who says sophomores are in a slump?) We highly recommend Your FUNdraising Team, and the exceptional talent of Eric leading the charge for a successful and FUN gala. Thank you for making our BELONG Gala an incredible success!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric was absolutely outstanding as our auctioneer. From the moment he stepped on stage, his energy, professionalism, and genuine engagement with the crowd elevated the whole event. He made every lot interesting, kept the pace lively (without ever feeling rushed), and skillfully encouraged participation without pressure. We had great results—and honestly, part of that credit goes to his ability to read the room, connect with people, and make the auction fun. If you’re looking for someone who knows his craft, cares about your goal, and brings charisma to the mic—Eric is your guy.

He was engaging and kept our program moving along. I had several attendees tell me how they enjoyed his approach to the paddle raise suggesting that we work as a team to meet a fundraising goal. Eric was extremely helpful!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “What’s the difference between an amateur auctioneer and a professional one?” asked a board member during our gala planning at Breckenridge Backstage Theatre.“What’s the difference between an amateur actor and a professional one?” I replied. In our case, the difference was tripling our paddle raise and shattering both last year’s total and this year’s goal. The difference was Eric. He is not just a skilled auctioneer; he’s a generous strategic partner who was with us every step of the way. He brought clarity, confidence, and results. We were lucky to have him. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric Goodman was the best decision for our school auction. Not only did he triple the amount of money in the paddle raise/live auction from the previous year, he also provided invaluable advice to make our auction a success.  He comes with a high recommendation and we hope to work with him again.
