What makes any Social engineering exploit successful is planning. You do not pull it all at one time, it takes research on a company first, then making many small inroads into the company to learn as much as you can. If you are trying to prevent Social Engineering in your company, you must first educate your users on what it is.

If you are trying to perform SE, a work force ignorant of the concept is your greatest ally. I have performed many audits where I have tested companies for Security Awareness through Social Engineering. You have to know enough about the target, and their group, to convince them that:
1) You are part of them
2) They will be rewarded in some way by helping you
3) They will be viewed as a problem-employee if they do not assist.

Although in today's world it should not work, without proper education, it usually still does, Just ask the IRS. ;-)

Have you read his books? The art of deception is my favourite because he can see the events, he knows what response he gets for asking a particular question and he knows how to break the social rules enough to wrong foot a person without raising too much suspicion.

Very impressive skill I wish I had acquired.
