NLP and Rapport
Establishing rapport according to NLP can best by done by mirroring or matching the other persons behavior. This when mutual trust in competence is already established.
There are several techniques to mirror behavior in NLP, to establish rapport:
1. Matching voice tone and tempo
2. Matching breathing
3. Matching movement and movement rhythms (crossover mirroring, more on this in the next blog entry.)
4. Matching body postures
What is the best way to establish rapport in business? The first one, matching voice tone and tempo.
Matching voice tone and tempo is also the thing you should do when you want to establish rapport in a phone conversation.
The topic of rapport is covered during the NLP Practitioner course.
