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.
