What is Rapport?
You hear a lot about rapport, but how does it affect you and why should you even care? Well, two people in rapport are inclined to give each other the benefit of the doubt, and are more patient and sympathetic towards each other. When there is rapport it is easier to reach understanding, to resolve differences, to make decisions, and to achieve cooperation. With it, relationships run smoother. So when you want to achieve success in your endeavors, rapport is a good thing to strive for.
Basically, rapport is a quality of the relationship between people. Very simply, rapport is an emotional bond or friendly connection between people based on mutual liking, trust, and a sense that they understand and share each other's concerns, values, and view of the world in this moment.
People want to do business with people that they know, like and trust. Now, imagine what you could do with the skills to develop and maintain rapport with anyone you choose. What could that do for you in business? In your personal relationships?
