Be aware if it applies, if your state has any consumer protection laws about contractor sales, keep in mind that protections afforded may not apply to a retailer like HD if you solicit them in their place of business.I concur with @Jd Martin, go meet with the store and sales managers at your local professionally oriented supplier and build relationships with them.As for going to the big box store ProDesk early in the morning, (or as @Brandon Stevens mentioned about gathering names from the parking lot), it can't hurt.

The race horse is far & away more powerful physically, highly driven & extremely goal oriented, has a work ethic 2nd to none, task driven & is single minded to the point of obsession.On the other hand, the jockey is short, skinny, does not speak horse & is expected to control a physical hurricane, so what does he do?

As a service oriented real estate company, there are ways to obtain your tenant's SSN.
