I’m not sure I’d be happy running a retail business listening to loud weddings each weekend or business speeches throughout the week and into the evenings.

It hasn't been the case but that's part of my property manager's speech when they move in.

Have your ducks in a row so that you clearly have a 2 minute elevator speech that says what you are looking for, why they should want to lend to you (great credit, excellent job, etc).  

First Bank, Elevations CU, Keybank

This is very different from what I do in my career of the past 20 years (I'm a speech/language pathologist who works with the birth-five year old population) but I am really excited to start something new.My son introduced us to this site, and I am so impressed with the content, and moved by the number of kind, caring, helpful people I have come across.

Do you respond more to/prefer one-on-one marketing and "elevator pitches" or by receiving professionally prepared, informative materials?

The freeway is elevated here and the property has poor visibility, signage and access.

Your elevator pitch (but without being a "pitch") What ARE you looking for exactly.

Maybe you can upload an elevation showing us what you're talking about etc.
