Bill Clinton, Taylor Swift, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey;
What do they all have in common?
They have the ability to Build Rapport extremely quickly. As though flicking on a light switch, these guys have the ability to turn it on whenever they want.
They understand the most fundamental factor in connecting with another person - a desire to understand that person's world; how he / she sees things - how he/she feels about things - what makes him/her tick. This ability to embrace others' worlds is what endears them to people. In other words by focusing more on others as against themselves they are able to Build Rapport, Friendship, Trust, and hence Relationships.
The greatest leaders in the world today are usually the greatest communicators.
The most important component of Communication is Listening.
The reason Influential People are so adept at Building Rapport is because they have an uncanny ability to put others first. They Listen first so as to understand and gain the trust of the person / people they are interacting with / doing business with / leading.
Sales and Business is all about Building Rapport to Build Relationships.
Listen with a genuine desire to understand.
