Building auction catalogs and inventory management can be time consuming and labor intensive, not to mention the associated cost. We are joined in the auction studio by Jeff Leffel and Bert Kaplan of Listernaut, an emerging and novel company that has built impressive software which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to adequately identify items photographed and write a heading & description for them. This technology is quickly becoming an important software platform that auction companies are finding success with. We discuss how they got started, where they are at today and most importantly with AI where they are headed in the near future. Enjoy the show…

Mike Brandly joins us in the studio as we discuss how to handle non-performing auction bidders. A recent incident turns into an excellent case study for us to examine how auctioneers should respond to a bidder / buyer that fails to sign the purchase contract or deposit the down payment. We also discuss various options to help minimize this occurrence from happening, as well as reminding auctioneers that the “Seller” should be calling the shots, since it is their auction.

When sellers pay the auction marketing upfront, they become better sellers at the end of the auction process. Having “skin in the game” signals that the seller is invested in the auction process and believes it is a good strategy for both divesting of their property, as well as receiving a fair market value for their property. Trina and I talk about the in’s and outs of effective auction marketing and why it is more beneficial for Seller’s to invest in the process upfront. Enjoy the show..
