I have an easy way as well, and it works with everyone.
Ask them for help with something. Be effusive in your thanks when they do.
Literally everyone appreciates it...it acknowledges their expertise, makes them feel important and in control of themselves, and look kindly on you. Everyone hates to let down someone who thinks they're cool.
Excellent write-up!

We all need people who think we're cool.
It's just understanding human nature. We all appreciate an occasional ego stroking, and respond to it.
