Breaking into the Contractors circle of trust.

Why is it so hard to get into the market with general contractors? Has anyone figured out a way to reach new contractors and maintain a relationship with them and not have to completely go broke to do it.

So far our experience has been that we are bidding against the guy with a pick-up truck and a rake and they will undercut the snot out of us. So, we have had almost no luck with generals.

And the big time contractors seem to have their favorite company and don't even look at, or even ask for, different bids.

So, how do we do it?

Any thoughts?
