Name: Jeremy Pope
Age: 35
Education: Bachelor’s in Marketing from the University of Alabama in Huntsville
Experience: 12 Years
Job Title: Vice President
Employer: Graham & Company
Number of employees: 13 in Huntsville office
Job description: “I am a commercial real estate broker. I represent my clients in all aspects of commercial real estate including but not limited to leasing, sales, property management, and construction management.”
Best perk: “I’m not in the office that much. I am constantly getting to meet new people and take on new challenges.”
Ambition: “I would like to own more of my own real estate and get more involved in developing real estate.”
Best advice received: “Treat your client as if they were a family member.”
Best advice to give: “When you are in sales, you are never ‘off the clock’. You have to be constantly on the lookout for your next client and next deal. If you are only focused on the deals you are working on today, then you have messed up. I am always looking at what I will be doing next week, in three months, and in a year from now.”
It’s a bad day when: “The lease or contract gets pulled off the table and you realize that there is nothing you can do to make the deal work.”
It’s a good day when: “…you get that deal done that you have been working on for so long and you have a happy client who you know you will do business with again in the future.”
Role models: “I look up to a lot of people, way too many to list. Surround yourself with smart and crazy people (outside-the-box thinkers) and there will always be something to learn.”
Working on: “My industry is constantly evolving, so I have to keep up with what is coming next so I can make sure my clients are well represented. I go to a lot of conferences and classes to try and stay up to date on what I and my clients need to know.”
