How many RE investors are Sales Professionals?

[Jay Helms]

Following Adam Zach's lead [ https://www.biggerpockets.com/... ], is it just me or is a large portion of REI investors NOT sales professionals? By that I mean, your W2 is in Selling . Seems like the more I network, the less and less I find Sales Professionals are NOT real estate Investors. Am I wrong?

Adam - for some reason I can't tag you in the post, will try in the comments. Thanks for the great question!

I was in sales my whole career prior to leaving W-2 work.  B2B and med device/capital equipment.  You're always selling in real estate, whether you're selling property, selling a prospective tenant, selling a seller, or selling yourself.  A person with sales skills/training who enjoys finance is a natural fit for real estate I think.
