In that kind of situation, I find questions are often more useful than statements. E.g. I might have asked "What are the differences between the junior and the adult version, then?" (even if I knew, but actually, I don't!) or "What are you thinking about introducing them to next?". Of course this does invite her to keep talking, and so maybe saying nothing was a better choice in this case!
