5 Key Steps to Building Rapport
Summary:
Explore the essentials of developing genuine rapport with others.
Building rapport involves asking questions, maintaining a positive attitude, encouraging open communication, actively listening, and sharing sincere feedback.
Steps to Building Rapport:
1. Ask Questions
Creating rapport is similar to conducting an interview or gathering information as a reporter. Start by relaxing and engaging the other person to find common interests. Comment on their attire if you're in person, or their online presence if you're communicating digitally. For instance, compliment their choice of color or a unique accessory and inquire about its origin, or admire their communication style and ask if they write often. Avoid contentious topics and gradually guide the conversation to shared interests.
2. Maintain a Positive Attitude
Approach interactions with an open and positive mindset. Leave preconceived notions and social labels aside. People quickly sense negativity or superiority. Treat others as you would like to be treated, giving everyone a fair chance.
3. Encourage Open Exchange
Foster an environment that invites sharing. Some people may be shy or inexperienced in communication, so your encouragement is vital. Use open body language, like facing the person with open arms and maintaining gentle eye contact. A warm smile can go a long way in facilitating positive exchanges.
4. Listen Actively
Focus on truly hearing the other person, rather than planning your next response. Pay attention to verbal cues and body language. If someone appears upset or defensive, consider changing the subject or temporarily creating space. Conversely, if they are engaged and responsive, you’ve successfully built rapport.
5. Share Sincere Compliments
Freely offer genuine compliments, but be sincere. A heartfelt compliment leaves a lasting positive impression. Consistently being genuine will help maintain and strengthen the rapport you’ve built.
By following these steps, you'll be well-equipped to develop meaningful connections with others.
