Sales - like marketing - definitely does have an element of psych to it.
Anecdotally, it feels as though it leans on a lot on the targets level of politeness and decorum to want to continue the conversation. I favour polite but abrupt and seemingly heartless conversation enders for this reason.
"Hello sir, would you like to help a child keep eating for $2 a month?" "No, thank you!"
Back to this specific case, I guess the trick is to deliver your question almost rhetorically with both parties knowing that it leaves an answer that is common knowledge. Kinda like safe small talk about the weather.
Keeps the conversation going buying time for another hook to be deployed.
