I know for a fact if you go into a big box store asking questions like that, there not going to have time to talk to you, and may even become paranoid wondering if you are the competition.

Thank you for your feedback.

It sounds like this may have been your experience, but fortunately it is not mine. And just because you say it's not possible, doesn't make it so.

One of the skills a traveling salesman must learn is how to get people to talk to you freely. For me I'm always honing that skill.

I walk into businesses every day and you would be shocked at the amount of information people will reveal to you when you ask them the right questions.

Owners, rather than managers will give you more information because they are proud of what they have. If you are willing to take the time to find out how they started the business, they will reveal tons of DEMAND information.

Recently, I spoke to a store manager of a very large retail business, and they revealed to me why certain products are displayed in Kiosk format and why others will always be displayed on a shelve.

And why is that important DEMAND information? Well that's information I'll keep under my hat for now.
