Follow their script and sooth while keeping your plan in mind.
  Then introduce your plan in a compatible way. The best result is
  when someone adopts your way and believes the idea to be their
  own. Your ego has to take a back seat in that case, because you
  can never reveal, "HEY I TOLD YOU THAT!" - just, enjoy the
  reward, which is: a concept passed *so successfully* that its
  origin was forgotten - perhaps even never known - and only the
  concept remains, fully incorporated.
