You cant hustle a hustler basically because they have what you are interested in. Normally at a cost to them.
So how?
Many years ago I read a collection of books about the Western Civilization.
Aristotle or Socrates gave a discourse on Argumentation. In short-- convince them u r not rejecting their statements by reaffirming them with your words.
Then they will be apt to hear ur stance and consider and ultimately they will suggest what u promote.

You can't push a rope! If they aren't motivated, be professional always leave an open door for them to reconnect.....but be willing to walk. Time and circumstances have a way of turning the un-motivated today into the motivated tomorrow.
