Features: The examination of auctioneer's hosting skills is a test of the auctioneer's basic hosting skills. However, for simplicity, clarity, and to make it quantifiable, comparable, and actionable, a certain set of rigid rules must be adopted as examination criteria, such as the setting of increment amounts during the examination and some language requirements. This does not mean that the auction must be conducted in the same way as the examination. On the auction floor, due to changes in factors such as the auction item, bidders, and the auctioneer's personality and abilities, different hosting styles can be adopted, and various increment amounts can be freely combined. The auctioneer's hosting should emphasize diverse styles, adopting flexible and adaptable methods tailored to the individual and the auction item. I have tried to consistently convey this guiding principle throughout this book. The book provides detailed explanations of the auctioneer's basic concepts, hosting language, body language, hosting style, crowd control techniques, auction strategies, and how auctioneers can host in English. The book also discusses how to prepare for the auctioneer's professional qualification examination and exam-taking techniques, hoping to benefit those who are aspiring to become auctioneers.
