Would you like to be able to connect with anyone, anytime and anywhere?

Would you like to be able to connect with anyone, anytime and anywhere? it's possible. How?

Follow these three steps:

1. Smile - it increases your face value

2. Make the initial effort
* Model the person - match their communication style and mirror their body language
* Be interested to be interesting - be interested in the person and their concerns and dreams
* Ask questions and listen - you'll be considered a wonderful conversationalist and you'll learn about this person's needs, values and governing rules

3. Be trusting and positive in your language - give them the benefit of the doubt and results oriented in your speech

Having established rapport the person will listen to you when you speak and will have discovered how to positively influence this person.

Your problem isn't how to establish rapport with anyone:
Your problem is your reaction to how to establish rapport with anyone.

QUOTATION:
More delightfully than any other passage in the Bible, this episode drives home the rapport between the Hebrews and their deity, a rapport which allows God to drop in for dinner and a sceptical old lady to laugh at him.

Many of the principles in these tips – plus much more – are available in Bob Tracz’s course,
