The secret of socrates, is to ask questions that warrant yes answers from the person that you are in dialogue with. This provides a meaningful social interaction, because it is an easy way to get a person to see your point of view by having then genuinely agree with the questions that you are asking.
I used this method in an interaction with a friend who was leaning towards purchasing something in a store that wasn't flattering on her, and way too expensive. I asked her if she was trying to save money?, i asked her if she wanted me to help her pick out something she said yes, I asked her if she wanted to look around at some other options before she makes a final decision, she said yes, and then after rummaging through some more flattering less expensive items I asked her if she liked my own chooses and she said yes, and brought my suggestions instead of the original selection.
As far as finding someone from the retriever. I still haven't gotten any responses.

Good use of the Secret of Socrates but proof your work--"chooses" for example. Unfortunate that you haven't been able to get a reporter to befriend as your business idea would be positively affected by that. Grade: B-.
