Found this on changingminds.org and thought it was interesting:
Deliberately distract them or wait for a moment when they are distracted by something else, such as the kids playing up, a phone going or something like that. In other words, catch them in a weak moment when their minds are elsewhere. Then press for the close. Ask directly for the sale. Give them the contract to sign.
I wonder if this might work, say, when the waitress comes around with drinks and collects money...
waitress: "That'll be $13.50."
me, while he's counting out the coin: "Let's take these back and enjoy them in the VIP room, okay?"
I might try it tomorrow night...

All I meant was coyly suggesting, "Hey, lets take this part elsewhere!" I see this as no different from the often-suggested "Let's go get a dance...right now!" assumptive sales technique. The only different is the timing.
