What I have seen is an internal sales team (AE's/Reps who split their time between referral partner development and managing their pipeline) combined with someone solely responsible for digital marketing (social media, SEO, ppc).

I have been experiencing what you're talking about.

If you need advice it's great to talk to people who have been successful at it.

In talks on four different properties. 

I never heard anyone talking about stocks or investments.

I love talking shop!!

Many of the people that come are members of Lifestyles Unlimited so they sometimes talk about upcoming events for members only, but the meeting is open to everyone and they share some excellent information. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Anyone have experience or know anyone I could talk to about getting work done in that area?

I don't want to name the REIT we dislike, but if you want to talk more about this offline shoot me a DM.As far as investor profile, it really comes down to someone's individual circumstances and what they're trying to achieve.
