It's a good idea (and polite) to follow-up with your interviewee after the interview.
Your interviewee may not respond to your request, especially if you only very briefly met them.
If, however, your interviewee is talking at length about something you know isn't relevant, you need to steer them back.
It's often said that you can get the best material at the end of an interview, as your interviewee relaxes.
This could happen when your interviewee greets you, offers you tea, or makes a joke to break the ice.
Check time zones and dates carefully, to avoid being stood up – or worse, standing your interviewee up!
Keeping your arms uncrossed, smiling and good (but not continuous) eye contact can help put your interviewee at ease.
