That is exactly how it happens. Did it for years and I can tell you the lazy site acquisition people will take the path of least resistance. Make their life easy. You trying to call a carrier will probably not even get to the right place. They make expansion plans at least a year in advance, they won't change their build out plan for one tower site. If you happen to fall in their plan you might be in luck. Your asking rent can make HUGE difference in getting a carrier on your site. $25 a month difference in rent catches a carrier's attention when you consider how many towers they have nationwide, every dollar in rent saved adds up each month over all those sites.

The best way to market your towers to cellular carriers. 1. Hang a sign. WIRELESS SPACE FOR LEASE. 2. Do an FAA on your tower. https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp 3. Do an FCC on your tower. http://wireless.fcc.gov/antenna/index.htm?job=home 4. Sit back and wait to become a millionare. Heck, my housekeeper has an Aunt that knows a woman at her granddaughters school whose son in law gets 18k a month from his ground lease! Almost every carrier uses a site acquisition contractor for their sites, and the FAA and FCC are the first places they look. Then they go and drive around. If there are multiple towers in their search ring, they are going to look for the "friendly" tower companies, ie, ones they have done business with before, or the ones that are inviting them to do business with them, ie the sign. AT&T Wireless probably uses 30 different contractors alone. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
