“Matt Smith gave our auction the boost it needed. He was organized, attentive, witty, and entertaining. He "hypnotized" the crowded into reaching deeper into their pockets than ever before and it worked! As an actor and a gentleman, Matt creates success without being overbearing.” “Matt Smith is the perfect blend of cheerleader and taskmaster. His "raise the paddle" netted four times our expectations." “The gracious and generous way you interacted with the bidders paired with “I must admit that I was skeptical about an auction for our little group - but you totally rocked it. It really was one of the most beautiful and magical evenings I think I've ever had.” “Matt Smith is the consummate auctioneer! At advance meetings he learned who we were as people. He wore many hats: skilled auctioneer and salesman, master of ceremonies, clock-watcher, socializer, comedian, and the occasional dance-move demonstrator. He took control and created an absolutely beautiful evening. The attendees listened, laughed and spent lots of money on our cause.” “Thanks again, Matt, for your patience, flexibility, sense of humor, charm, skill, enthusiasm, support...I could go on forever!” "Last year we hired Matt Smith for our first-ever wine auction. Matt helped us raise more money, with fewer attendees than we expected. His humor, ease of manner, and poise under pressure made him a joy to work with." “There wasn’t a person in the room that didn’t know they were giving to a great cause, because of Matt. When we did our fund-a-program, it took 15 minutes to write down all the numbers and time for him to sincerely thank each bidder with a "thank you very much," a moving spectacle that brought tears to many people’s eyes.” “In his role as an auctioneer, Matt has a conjurer's ability to draw us into the action, a community organizer's motivational skills to get us to commit, and a clown's ability to touch our hearts, and keep us smiling. Matt presided at the auction of my daughter's school last spring, and I don't know if my head, my heart, or my wallet was more impressed with his performance!” "Matt, you were awesome - there was some serious excitement in the air. It was more than just raising money, it was like everyone in the room going out on a limb for the organization -- totally morale building and fantastic reinforcement for the staff and volunteers who are doing that every day. " "Matt Smith is a consummate professional with a wry sense of humor and the ability to get even the most reluctant donors to reach "deep" into their pockets. Not only did he help NWS raise needed funds, he was a great help during the event’s planning stages." "Your performance helped us exceed our financial goal for the evening, and more importantly, brought our friends and supporters together for a fun and memorable time. It was one-of-a-kind: witty and fast-paced, you made us laugh out loud. Thanks again, Matt, for your generosity." "He really got things going. Matt is smart, funny, suave and silly. His skills as an improvisational actor really melt an audience, People had a good time and the auction was a success. Bids came in waves of laughter and fists full of good times for all. He was great!" "Without Matt's contribution I am certain I would not have raised a quarter of the money that I did. He had the experience and know-how to encourage people to spend money ....I cannot recommend Matt highly enough." "Thank you for doing a GREAT JOB as auctioneer! You are simply fabulous---as a performer, crowd controller, and salesman. You were instrumental. We were blessed to have you at our event." "It was a blessing to work with a real pro who not only delivered a fine performance in the role of auctioneer on stage but also offered good consultation on what to auction and how. " "Matt Smith has been the Master of Ceremonies and Auctioneer for the Valley School annual auction for seven years. We plan to have Matt as an auctioneer during the autumn of 2002 and probably every year after. He does a truly outstanding job. "
