One Small Email Pt.1

A small boutique firm. Commercial RE. Under 50 employees. West Coast. Over 500M EDIT 5B in sales. "Small". Ambitious. Nice. Luxurious. And one small email.

I am a freshman in college at a non-target undergrad in Texas. Think private, baptist, too many footballs players indicted for rape charges. I am also in Army ROTC but I have yet to be contracted or scholarshipped, so I still pay for school. Murphy's Law has been running a full-speed train through my life lately, until this morning. After reading some motivational quotes, I blindly (jk) sent an email to this investment group's CEO/Founder back in my home state. There was little there to start with. I had met him prior to this email about six months ago while I was doing door-to-door sales for a small sales business I have during the summers. While he turned down my window sales offers, I turned to go, but intrigued, I turned back. I asked him, what do you do for a living? he responds: Commercial Real Estate, for XYZ Investment Group. ( The door before this day, I had met with a family/friend from an extremely prestigious CRE company, you know it) so I started a small discussion with him. At this point, he says the magic words: "If you end up not getting an Internship with ABC, give me a call. By the way, my name is XYZ. And thats how I met the owner. So, back to the email I sent him. This morning he responds, and he forwarded me onto his COO, who asked me to give her a call tomorrow at the office. (They also messed up some of the forwarding and CCing, and i caught glimpse of an email including another prospective Intern, so I know I have at least 1 competitor. If you guys have any advice, criticism (destructive or constructive), help, tips, phone interview advice, please feel free to bombard me with it. I will need it. I have finally started my dream to CRE.
