Free Coffee For Real Estate Professional (Chicago Burbs)

I thought the subject line would get your attention on this Monday. This is what I'm asking to the wonderful B.P. community. I want to buy a cup of coffee for a real estate pro. Read my story and you will understand why.. 

I currently work in the corporate sales world.  I negotiate the relationships/contracts for one of the largest chemical producers in the world. All aspects of customer service, negotiation, relationship development, and pricing are part of my day to day. I have an amazing job (and expense account) that  affords me a very comfortable lifestyle. When I was younger my mentors always told me that I will end up making a career in sales somewhere. I'm one of those "natural sales types." I love talking in front of people, and the "high" that I get from closing a deal. Blah Blah Blah.. 

Ok so why in the world would I want to speak to someone in the R.E. world? It's very simple.. There isn't much "hunting" or "winning" in my line of work. Even though I am a high producer the majority of my time and energy is spent managing the accounts, rather than selling them. In my world there isn't an opportunity to teach people to sell, or to build something that I control.  I've been reading and reading about the day in the life of an agent, but just as in sales, I think that some things are better in person. 

So the offer is on the table.. 

Free Latte Anyone?

@Joe Kasprzyk Have you been to an REI meetup yet? I am going to my first one in the Chicago area on Monday, Nov 19th, to network with REI professionals from the multifamily meetup group. This would be a great way to get inspired and gain some REI knowledge.
