Life as a CRE Broker

It's funny reading this five years later:

CRE:

We are still in the process of pitching what, if we get it, will be our largest corporate services account in our branch's history. This is significant for me especially because I am the one who set the ball in motion with company by contacting the private equity company as they were buying the corporation in question. My contact became the CFO of the company upon the acquisition and I got our team a meeting. If we get this, it will be enormous both for us and for me. The VP offers to take three of their higher ups to dinner and a baseball game along with his head Principal. Although I am on the account team, I was not included in the dinner and baseball game plan. Ugh. Excluding me, while perhaps a decent idea from the Principal's standpoint because I'm young, may not by the right move. In all sincerity, my contact genuinely likes me.

This situation was one of the final straws for my time as a broker. I ultimately got cut out completely from the pitch team and we lost the pitch to CBRE.
