The details are on p25 of Social Engineering, approachability.

It is a per-based roll against a relevant skill, not against a skill based primarily on per.

So, if you have for example merchant at IQ+1, you could roll merchant at per +1 to spot the best target for an offer.
But if there is a small, cohesive group near you, you would roll against cutting out (merchant @per +1 -4 if using the technique at default) to isolate one specific person from the group.
You then have a +1 to the actual reaction/influence roll.
