OK so I've been a street and therapy hypnotist for over a year and am no stranger to approaching people with the intention of closing (in my case getting them to agree to be hypnotised by a stranger on the street). For some reason I've never transferred the skill to pick-up. Theoretically, the shift of intention shouldn't be too difficult, though we all know that theoretically theory and practice are the same. In practice: they're different.

I don't believe in lurking without due warning, so here's my statement of intention to sarge. And if anyone wants help on the hypnosis side of things just ask.
