Small Market Investment Sales at Large CRE Brokerages

Currently doing investment sales at one of the large firms (CBRE, C&W, Newmark, Colliers) on a team primarily focused on small market deals/clients ($2MM-$10MM). I have to say, it's been pretty bland and soul-sucking. Team wants me to call property owners relentlessly with no real training or emphasis on anything else. I feel like a used car salesman most of the times. 

Do other teams at the firms mentioned above who focus in the small market run their teams the same way? 

I don't mind doing investment sales but I was hoping to get some more analytical training/experience, especially since it's a larger firm. Starting to feel like I won't ever achieve that here.
