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.
