hablar para impresionar, convencer, engrupir
Es un juego de palabras que imita la rima de use it or lose it. En este caso es shmooze it or lose it (no loss), como diciendo, los engrupes o los pierdes. La persona tiene que utilizar la ocasión (work the room) para ganarse a las personas que le conviene en el menor tiempo posible.

estar de cháchara para ganar favor
Estoy de acuerdo que debe ser 'lose' en vez de 'loss'. 'Schmooze' significa portandose de una manera, normalmente con personas de autoridad o influencia sobre uno, para ganar favor de esa persona. No tiene sentido positivo.
