Are you ok with building a business that needs constant sales and marketing training? 

Now the big banks hire trained robots with zero authority of real knowledge.

Latest venue has been Dave and Busters in Euless Typically on the 4th Monday of the month in the evening about 6pm for networking and 7pm for training.

I've always thought that the annual Fair Housing training we always had to take in banks was stupid and almost insulting to our intelligence, but after seeing your post, I would highly recommend seeking out and taking courses on Fair Housing, ADA, and other relevant real estate-related regulatory courses.

Don't get me wrong, there are some great VAs out there, but you have to find them, train them, monitor them and pay them well for them to produce anything above mediocre results. 

Some of them list training as a service.  

I know I need help with Go-To-Market strategies and train two members of my team to help as business relationship specialists.
