A
Where they started
The charity and fundraising auction team briefed every auction collection guidance contact individually. The instructions were sound but never the same twice.
05 Case study
A preparation guide that steadies auction collection guidance
When it comes to auction collection guidance, staff share a single current guide before any conversation. Visitors arrive with enough context to be useful, without being asked to upload personal records through a general form.

Why it cost them time
With auction collection guidance, versions multiplied until no two customers had quite the same instructions. First conversations regularly began with corrections rather than the matter at hand.
01 What we built
The build, lot by lot
A single maintained guide now covers sale reference, lot number and collection question in plain language and outlines buyer terms and loading arrangements. Public forms request only first-contact details; sensitive records follow the business's approved channel later.

Questions about this project
How long did this project take?
10 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The clock starts once the client has approved the content. The launch times on the pricing page (7 days on Ring) count from the onboarding call instead, so the two figures are measured from different starting points.
Which plan covers the work in this case study?
The policy and compliance pages, written in (Ring, Block, Rostrum); Every enquiry routed into your CRM or inbox (Ring, Block, Rostrum). All of it is on every plan, from Ring at $127 a month, with the $697 build fee invoiced only after launch.
Why is the client not named?
The client is described by type and town on purpose: a charity and fundraising auction team in Billings, MT, with 12 staff. The quote is published with the named contact's permission. We never publish a client's business name, logo or web address on a case study.
