What type of budget are you working with to schmooze these guys?

The cold call thing will work. How about taking the crew over some lunch one day. Pick up a bunch of warm chile on a cold winter day or one of those box o joes from dunkin doughnuts. Get everyone talking about you and your company.

How about providing dicount coupons for the builder to use for himself as well as handouts to his employees. This gives him a break and makes him look good to his employees for getting them a deal from one of his suppliers.
