Business owners naturally build rapports, but most use them when so inclined, unknowingly, and without defining their quality. Having an exact definition of what creating a rapport is helps business owners intentionally foster solid and lasting business relationships. 

Establishing a rapport refers to moving a connection to the point where you and another person are in harmony because that person sees themself in you, wants to be like you, or desires to mingle with you, says the C-Suite. 

Defining a rapport goes beyond understanding its meaning and includes understanding the critical elements of a rapport and laying down steps to promote lasting relations. The critical elements of rapport that will enable you to create lasting relationships include:

• Confidence: This is the display of surety in yourself and your intentions. Your confidence becomes your presence.

• Presence: Exhibiting an intangible aura in rooms, crowds, and situations. Your presence makes you approachable.

• Approachableness: Being perceived as an open, genuine, earnest, and conversant person. Your body language makes you approachable.

• Body language: Presenting an inviting demeanor through non-verbal cues that attract others.

• Capability: The talent and skill to engage and persuade people and manipulate situations.

For these critical elements to work, you must communicate empathy and display sincerity and veracity. 

When defining rapport for your business, keep in mind that a strong rapport goes deeper than just the initial connection with individuals or customers. According to Don Moragne, the CEO of The Success Zone, “Being in control of yourself and your conscious actions will help you to maintain rapport.”  

After creating the initial bond, you should focus on the individual and use persuasive narratives and anecdotes to appeal to their emotions. This will encourage them to share their desires, goals, and challenges with you, allowing you to understand their needs better. 

Establishing rapport also requires you to have an intimate knowledge of yourself. Knowledge of self is a powerful mental process involving controlling, managing, affirming, and redirecting your conscious mind in seconds. It gives you the ability to read others and respond in a beneficial way to their stimuli.

“Managing your conscious mind can enhance your abilities to display empathy and to observe [to be able to “Mirror” another person], which are essential traits in managing beneficial relationships in business, personal, and family,” says Don Moragne. Learning and practicing managing your conscious mind enables you to take a second to evaluate Your Action or Reaction to derive the Outcome that will benefit you most. This is the only way for your business to establish successful relationships with customers, partners, and colleagues.
