How to Build rapport Part 1

One of the most important things in life is to communicate and build rapport with people. If you can not build rapport with people you can not establish meaningful and lasting friendship. You are probably thinking well everyone knows this. It is true most people know this however you see people making Basic mistakes because they have not learned the rule of how to build deep rapport.

I will ask a question and be honest with yourself did you really answer. There are three ways to build rapport or communicate with people they are he Words we use, Tonality and Physiology or Body language. What is the percentage of the total communication does the words we use, the Tonality and Physiology each represent?

Words 7%

Tonality 40%

Physiology 53%

If you are seeing these for the first time you may be surprised, I was. Have you ever experianced a sitution where someone has said something to you and you felt that the communication had no intgrity to it. The reason for this is whilst the words said one thing the tonaily and Physiology where saying something total different.

In our next blog we will discover how to build rapport with the words we use. You will be surprised at how easy it is to effectively build rapport just by the words you use.

Have a fantastic day.
