There are several social engineering tactics that can be used to gather sensitive information from customers. One is using bait. For instance, planting miscellaneous devices or gadgets in public spaces with a name and phone number label which gives an impression of being used by the customer, allowing us to collect their details through reverse-engineering techniques. Another technique is pretexting, where it exploits the psychological weakness of people by making them believe they are interacting with a representative from our company to give away confidential data such as account numbers or personal passwords over the phone without suspecting any wrongdoings.

Social engineering relies on influencing people to disclose information voluntarily. Some of the tactics that can be used for gaining insights include surveys with open-ended questions, questionnaires and polls. Using gamification to create quests and challenges related to the company's products or services has also proven effective in understanding user behavior. Additionally, running competitions and offering incentives such as free products or rewards are sure-win strategies. Additionally, participating in discussions that have taken place already with customers on social networks or creating a forum can provide valuable insight into the audience's behavior. Furthermore, research activities such as customer satisfaction surveys, market focus groups, focus interviews and customer journey audits can serve to understand how customers interact with a service over time.
