Eliciting info from strangers

https://youtu.be/JJQrjOYBcwI?si=OoNQ7Qar_8MjkmBv

Statements rather than questions - statements that urge others to respond based on deep human needs. 
4:45 Elicitation leverages people's innate need to correct, to appear competent, to be helpful, and to feel appreciated, heard , and involved. 

3:44 Start your statement with "So" and then a recap: "So you've been working on this for 3 years." Or with "I bet," as in "I bet you overcame a lot of challenges to get to this point." 
  1. Make a deliberate false statement to elicit a correction: I heard you guys make $60K
  2. Bracket a figure to elixir a more accurate answer: I bet homes in this area are between 1 and 3 million. 
  3. Disbelief: There's no way your company could be bought out by a Chinese conglomerate.
