Invite them out for coffee, happy hour, dinner, etc and pick their brain! 

I’ve got a decent lead time and I’m trying to decide whether or not to hold tight and prepare for a NC purchase or just find something else up here and bypass Fayetteville all together.Thanks in advance for any advice and I’ll be happy to take someone out for lunch/dinner/coffee next time I come down for a visit.Best,Rhett

I refrained from going out to dinner.

A few weeks ago, we had dinner together because he wanted to discuss it with me and consider a future partnership.

If you are brand new then yes, absolutely cold call on Sunday, preferably either at 5 a.m. or at dinner time. 

I have learned so much just from speaking with a couple of bankers that I took out for dinner.

Would be open to meeting for lunch or dinner.
