The word for today is…

schmooze (verb):

: to chat in a friendly and persuasive manner especially so as to gain favor, business, or connections

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/schmooze?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Schmooze (also spelled shmooze) comes from Yiddish schmues, meaning “talk,” which itself is from Hebrew sh?mu’?th, “news” or “rumor.” Although originally used to indicate simply talking in an informal and warm manner, the word now commonly suggests discussion for the purposes of gaining something.
