An indicator of approaching (IOA) is a cue that walking up will not be a total interrupt: lingering eye contact, an open stance, a comment thrown your way. It sits next to approach invitation. Later pickup still wants the Newbie assignment volume — you do not wait for a engraved invitation.[1][2]
In practice
In practice: take the IOA when it is there. Do not build a religion of waiting for one. Cold approach is still the default training.
