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.
