KEY TAKE AWAY...
Rapport is all about UNDERSTANDING
other person’s mental modal – Frame of
Mind
KEY TAKE AWAY...
Rapport is about showing GENUINE
interest in getting to know what’s
important to other person, rather than
expecting to be understood.
KEY TAKE AWAY...
Rapport is about using KEYWORDS &
PHRASES used by other person subtly into
your own conversation
KEY TAKE AWAY...
Rapport is about adopting similar stance
in body language, gestures, voice tone and
mannerism as used by other in
conversation.
KEY TAKE AWAY...
In Rapport Building - You are the message.
BE and LOOK CONFIDENT - believe in your
message – people will not listen to what
you are saying
KEY TAKE AWAY...
Rapport – being on same WAVELENGTH
More than 93% of the perception of our
sincerity comes not from what we say,
BUT from HOW WE SAY...
KEY TAKE AWAY...
In Rapport with someone, we may
DISAGREE with what they say and still can
relate RESPECTFULLY
Thank You
