One way to reach that stage would be to become high status oneself, but I'm guessing it'd be more effective to predict who will soon become high status and talk to them while they're still approachable.

This ability is one that is rather useful for the goal of gaining status, too. (As well as being reflected in the mating strategy of young females.)
