How Do You Build a Big List?

anju.jan2009 asked:

You’ve heard it time and again, the Monee’s in the list. Just about anybody with a list will tell you that. If you have your own list, you know it.

There are multiple methods of list building, and if you are just getting started, until you have gained mastery over one or two methods, it is advisable to use multiple methods of list building strategies. There is some sort of special force in massive action–so do just that–use massive action. Take one of these strategies each day and take massive action with it. For example, in part 2, I cover articles. What would massive action be?

How about write 3 articles and post them to at least 100 article directories? That is massive action. Then the next day, take massive action regarding part 3, forums. Become a member or 100 forums and answer 100 forum questions everyday. And so on day after day. If you truly work at building a list and taking massive action, for more detail go to: www.email-auto-format.com.you can build a huge list and do it faster than you ever dreamed possible.

One thing to note here: if you are using multiple sources for your list building, track every source. Not just for traffic, but for source-specific sign-ups and for sales. You might find that one list source gives you 3x the number of sign-ups, which is exciting. But if you aren’t tracking things deeply enough, you might not know that the bulk of your sales are coming from another list, one that is a little slower to grow. Just keep that in mind.

There are three stages to building a list:

1) Preparation. You must get a squeeze page and an auto responder sequence up and running. A squeeze page is basically a web page that has a brief introduction, offering the reader an incentive to join your list. Perhaps you are offering an online course or a free e-book or a free tool for their business. After that brief introduction and call to action, you will have an opt-in form, provided by your auto responder service, to collect names and email addresses.

For your auto responder sequence, unless you already have product to pitch, you should just send the subscribers useful information every few days. If you do not have a main web site or product yet, that is OK, just send an email once or twice a week with useful information. You could even send them the articles that you write in part 2. For more detail go to: www.autoresponder-money.com.But you must keep in touch with them, because if you add them to your list today and then don’t mail them for two months, they will not recognize you and they will see you as SPAM. Bad. So write once or twice a week, and you will build rapport with them.

2) Getting in front of qualified subscribers. You see, I say qualified, because any old name on your list is not what you are looking for. You want people on your list who are genuinely looking to improve themselves, their business, or their hobby. How do you do this? In each of the list building strategies that you employ, be sure and offer people great content, not just a free gift.

A free gift is good, but it should be an inducement, not the whole thing. They should want to subscribe because they believe you will provide a quality newsletter or mailing and they will receive good information.



How To Create Instant Attraction With Any Woman

Pedro Gondim asked:


In previous articles we’ve discussed the ‘business-side’ of counselling: marketing tips and business guidelines which can help counsellors build a successful practice. Most therapists possess an innate desire to help others, and because of this emotional involvement, sometimes it can be challenging to convert the potential into practical results.

Whilst we’ve tackled the basic premises which can help counsellors enter the market and attract clients, there is still one aspect of the counselling relationship which is indispensable for a counsellor’s success: client satisfaction. But isn’t that a matter of competence and an intrinsic part of being a counsellor?

Yes, it is. Being able to progress clients through to the achievement of their counselling goals has plenty to do with the counsellor’s ability to perform his/her services at the most basic level. However, it is exactly that logical assumption that induces many counsellors to oversee basic communication needs and counselling skills which will be the key for their success as a professional counsellor.

The Counselling Setting

Prior to engaging in the interpersonal communication process, there are basic requirements which will influence the client’s ability to express him/herself, and to make decisions regarding the relationship. These aspects refer to the counselling setting, which in the initial meetings can cause a significant impact in the client’s perception towards the counsellor. In a nutshell, the counsellor should observe the following:

Comfort: a comfortable setting improves client expression of feelings.

Security/Privacy: providing the client with security during a session.

Noise control: ensuring that noise does not affect communication.

Stimuli control: a neutral environment (light colours and decoration).

Supportive environment: a space in which the client can share in their own pace.

Facilities: Amenities, décor and other office facilities are relevant aspects to be observed.

Rules of Engagement

There are certain ‘rules of engagement’ which dictate the likelihood of a counselling relationship being constructive, and these rules apply to any context. For example, if you have just been introduced to someone at a social event, you should initially avoid asking personal questions as that is perceived to be intrusive. These rules are inherited by particular social groups, and following them is the basis for creating a positive profile and developing a receptive attitude from other group members.

In the counselling setting, there is much more necessity in applying such rules. The client is there for a specific purpose, which requires a particular approach to the situation. The client is also likely to be “uneasy” or unsure about what to expect, which increases the ‘risk’ of making a bad impression or not developing good rapport. Finally, there are more urgent ethical guidelines which must be complied within the counselling room, but would be of little relevance in a social setting.

In order to encourage the client to engage in a formal relationship, the counsellor must first avoid the common pitfalls which can make communication difficult. The first and foremost issue to consider in this scenario is the elusive impact of ‘first impressions’ in the eyes of a client. Trust and rapport are emotional keywords in a client’s subconscious, and once they have been negatively ‘red-flagged’ for any reason; it is very unlikely that relationship will move forward. So what can make this occur?

Dodging the Pitfalls

The standard communication pitfalls found in any relationship cover most potential problems of the first couple of meetings. They relate to a range of conscious and subconscious thinking patterns which could create communication gaps between the client and counsellor.

These patterns are based on the each individual’s education, relationships, attitudes, motivational targets, self-confidence levels and a range of other factors. Because the initial stages of a counselling relationship tend to be open and unpredictable, a good strategy to move forward is engaging in prevention: aiming to reduce the probability of communication pitfalls. To prevent this, counsellors must be aware of the common mistakes, or negative patterns, of good communication:

Judging: Criticising, name-calling, diagnosing and praising evaluatively

Sending Solutions: Ordering, threatening, moralising, and advising

Avoiding the Other’s Concerns: Diverting, logically arguing and reassuring

The probable outcome of avoiding such pitfalls is establishing grounds for a productive relationship through good rapport and developing a certain level of trust and openness.

The Mindset of the Client

When it comes to interpersonal communication in therapy, being flexible and responsive is one of the most beneficial skills a counsellor can have. Different mindsets and emotional states require a particular approach; and the counsellor’s ability to adjust to a client’s needs is likely to dictate the success of that relationship.

In order to better exemplify the diversity of mindsets which clients may approach counseling with, there are five generic profiles of clients – and respective strategies -to help improve the relationship and enhance client-counsellor rapport.

Profile 1: an emotionally unstable client

The client is emotionally unstable and finding difficulty in expressing him/herself.

Emotionally unstable clients normally require a client-centred approach which enforces the need to establish rapport and trust, and to ensure the client is aware that he or she is in a safe and friendly environment. The client will normally have difficulty in expressing him/herself because he/she is unable or not ready to deal with emotions.

Counselling strategies to establish rapport would include: using self-disclosure to relate to the client’s situation and create an emotional link; creating goals and accountability in order to encourage action from the client; providing transparency and positivity through communication.

Profile 2: an involuntary or skeptical client

The client has been forced to attend to counselling (e.g. legally mandated).

This type of client may be difficult to deal with in the early stages of the relationship. Normally, he or she will be skeptical about the process, and may not acknowledge any need to change. It is important for the therapist to gain respect from the client, and use that respect to establish trust.

One of the most common strategies to gain respect and create responsiveness from the client is to outline the process of counselling: what he or she is there for; what is the structure of the relationship; what are the rights and duties of the client; what might be the expected positive outcomes. Solution-focused strategies are a good way to create a sense of accountability and need for change.

Profile 3: the child

The client is a young child or adolescent.

Dealing with children is always challenging as there is a perceived ‘bigger’ communication gap. The goal for the counsellor is to establish trust using humour; engaging in activities such as games; encouraging a collaborative approach; using self-disclosure and role-playing. These are all common strategies to help improve communication with young clients.

Profile 4: the uncommitted client

Lack of commitment can be a challenging problem in the counselling setting. Normally, a client with little or no commitment has a specific agenda which justifies their attendance at a counselling session (an example would be a husband who was asked by his wife to attend counselling in order to preserve their marriage). Framing and re-framing are good tactics to re-model the way the client perceives the counselling relationship: shifting from the ‘helping’ mode to the collaborative approach. Creating goals and structuring will also motivate the client to go through the necessary stages for change, collect the rewards, and move on with his/her own life.

Profile 5: the demanding client

A demanding client will normally believe that the counsellor will provide answers to his/her problems. They will come to counselling without much resolve to act upon their current situation, and will normally create very unrealistic expectations regarding the counselling relationship and the counsellor.

Again, encouraging accountability, managing expectations and establishing well-planned goals is a good approach. The client should be encouraged to realise that change can only occur from within. Using role-playing, narrative therapy skills, and/or a solution-focused approach to empower and encourage the client may be the key for deriving motivation.

Hopefully, the above strategies assist with providing a firm foundation to establish the client-counsellor relationship.

How To Build Rapport With Prospects

Carlos Scarpero asked:


If you are going to be successful in MLM or in any selling situation, then building rapport is essential. Building rapport with prospects is not something you are born with, but rather is a learned skill.

There are five major things that you need to focus on to build rapport.
The first essential skill is body language. You must learn to read body language. You can learn body language by checking out library books on the topic or by surfing the Internet for tips. You can also learn body language by simply paying attention when other people are around. Here are a few basics: eye contact is a must, avoidance can mean falsehood or mistrust with others. Keep arms in un-closed position, welcoming communication. Ditto with legs (don’t sit with arms and legs crossed as it can mean you are closed to the other person). Maintain a nice, friendly smile (not tight lips). And don’t get in the other person’s space or face. Keep at a comfortable distance.

The next thing you should do is to get in a casual mode.

Relate in a comfortable manner with the other person. For instance, don’t wear stiff new clothing and shoes that aren’t broken in and hurt your feet. This can affect your own comfort, making you less at ease, regardless of who your prospect is. You want to be able to talk, laugh and enjoy the other person’s company while you’re building a relationship. No one wants to focus on whether they are having a bad hair day!

The third skill for rapport building is using some finesse. You must learn how to handle conversations and activities in a cordial and friendly manner using tact. For example, if your prospect is lewd or otherwise obnoxious (maybe drunk at an after dinner event), learn how to skillfully acknowledge him or her briefly, then turn your focus in a productive direction to seek out communication with another prospect, without hurting the other person’s feelings, if possible. Sometimes etiquette books can help with this. Most often, though, look to the older and more experienced attendees in the room and follow their lead.

The next essental rapport building skill is handling conflict. You must learn how to handle difficult situations without falling apart at the seams.

Finally, you need to learn cooperation. Cooperating with and supporting one another should be a common goal with prospects. You’ll both be seeking referrals down the road and want to be able to stick together and support each other in a professional, businesslike manner.

As the saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Neither is rapport. Establishing and building relationships is a process. Mistakes will be made. By learning to get through rough spots, offering and accepting apologies and working things out, you’ll reap rapport.



3 Secrets That Women Will Never Reveal To You

Paul Corral asked:


Ok, so you can strike up a conversation with a strange and beautiful woman. You may have managed to come across witty and confidently during that conversation. The question is: is that going to be enough for her to want to see you again? A better question is “what do you really know about her that makes you want to see her again?”

Rapport is a connection on a personal level. This is not just agreeing with anything she says! Rapport combined with your considerable wit will create that magical thing women refer to as “chemistry.” There are many perspectives on how to create rapport. We will briefly touch on some in this article.

The first and most instinctive way to build rapport is finding commonalities. This can apply to anything like your taste in music, movies, food, etc. This keeps the conversation light and allows you to find commonalities.

What if you don’t share the same taste in music or anything else? First it can be fun to playfully bust on her and tell her what you like to listen to. The fun of debating about music or what ever topic you choose can be a lot of fun.

You can also relate on an emotional level. The human condition is universal. Say she says a song makes her FEEL a certain way, you can come back and say I feel the same way about another song. Your not pretending to like something you don’t but you are relating in a powerful emotional way.

Another great way to build powerful rapport in a very fun way is called conspiracy. This tactic is all about creating something between you that is between just the two of you. Some fun ideas are making up funny nicknames for each other: “I’m calling you (fill in the blank with funny nick name) for now on” You can be funny by creating a secret handshake, or inside jokes.

My personal favorite is to make a funny, sexy, or cocky comment while making a certain face or hand gesture, this way you can be across a crowded bar and make that face or throw up your hands and she laughs because she gets your little inside joke that involves just you and her!

I have saved the best for last; this is some kindred spirit/ girls totally smitten type stuff right here! I have read about the art of cold reading from both the pickup 101 guys and David D, both top guru’s in the field of attraction.

Cold reading is what tarot card readers and psychics use to astound people with their intuition about you and your future. You can use a form of cold reading to build serious rapport with women.

First think of how you discuss women with your friends after you walk away. You say things like: “she seemed like a free spirited artistic type” or “she had a tuff exterior but I bet she’s a real sensitive girl underneath that attitude.” What you should do is make this statement to her, not your friends. Just throw it out there as if making a random observation and you don’t really care how she reacts to it.

The terms you use should be just vague enough to make it difficult for her to say your wrong. It is very difficult when you say things like: “you seem to be very out going but you weren’t always that way” or “you seem to have a very creative side to you.” As you develop your powers of intuition you can even say things like: “you seem to be at a place in your life were you are…” in a sincere way. Nail a statement like this and you will have built an incredible rapport with her.

All right, we could go on forever on this topic but this should be enough to get you some amazing breakthroughs with building rapport with women. So be sure to read up on more about where, when, and how to use these tactics for maximum effect.



How To Be The Ultimate Bad Boy Women Jealously Compete And Fight For

Mark Denekamp asked:


We have looked before at the importance of trust in dealing with anyone in any sales, including network marketing. Lack of trust represents about 75% of why people would not deal with someone even if they had a great product or service.

In traditional marketing and sales the best way to build trust is in building rapport. This is the feeling of engagement that people have with the sales person, or anyone in any situation really.

If we can build huge trust rapidly the cautious defences we have about us in any new meeting will drop and we will hear what is being communicated. Without it, nothing will really get through.

In face-to-face encounters there are a number of things people can do to build trust – on a physical level and a psychological level.

The Seven Second Rule

There is an initial summing up people do on meeting us – the seven second rule of an initial assessment. This is mainly based on our physical appearance and initial words. Once the first impression is formed it is difficult to change.

For the next element of building trust (although as noted above about how quickly we judge people it is important this is incorporated in that initial seven second assessment time) there are two elements.

These are in the physical and psychological realms.

Physical Rapport

Physically we can rapidly build trust by mirroring people. This occurs on a number of levels. General body posture is important, rate and depth of breath, blink rate etc.

Standing facing someone does not allow this to be done as effectively. Being at an angle to our subjects allows us to subtly mirror them. It is better to adopt this as we respond in speech and not to be too obvious. Just try matching someone’s breathing sometime and see what happens.

Psychological Rapport

On a psychological level people tend to hear according to their personality types. If we take the simplified personality types mentioned before (shark, whale, dolphin and urchin) each has a different response to pace and engagement concerns.

Personality Styles

Sharks and dolphins tend to be fast-paced. You can hear it when they speak and see it when they walk. Whales and urchins are slower and will not follow a fast-paced presentation as well.

The urchin and shark are more fact based. The other two relate more to emotion. Sharks, though, prefer succinct details and value results, urchins are concerned with finer details and a lot of it.

The dolphins will relate to fun and excitement and the whales to helping people and contribution.

Sharks respond to elements of power and control (they like things – fine cars, houses etc). Urchins value respect and making the right decision. Dolphins love fun and recognition, while whales need support and teamwork.

You are often more correct in assessing what personality type people are not than exactly what they are. But this can narrow the field down quite quickly.

To assess these personalities rapidly it is best to allow the person you are meeting to talk about themselves, their needs and wants as much as possible. This in itself builds trust. People trust those who are interested in them.

Group Presentations

In large group situations finding out particular personality types of our audience is not often possible. But it is possible to have elements that appeal to each personality type in the presentation.

Internet MLM

On-line we have a different situation. So how can we build real trust? Is it even possible?

Yes it is and in many ways it corresponds to the above criteria.

1. A picture

An image of us instills trust. That initial seven second evaluation can be done even more rapidly. There are characteristics we trust and others we do not.

Our dress, expression, posture, though comes across well in an image.

Video gives even more information. And you may well want to consider whether or not to use this. Some people prefer audio files only. These are valuable as the quality and tone of your voice builds trust as well.

2. Personal Details

Some description about ourselves can help establish rapid trust. This again can form part of that rapid assessment. Our background, age, experience and the degree this relates to our prospects can have a huge bearing on whether they will trust us.

Is this a problem? Would it be better to appear bland to not offend anyone?

There are two parts to this. One is that the internet is such a huge medium with a such a massive audience that there will be people out there who relate to us. As in life generally we should not worry about pleasing everyone. By being ourselves as much as possible we are more likely to strongly attract those who resonate with us. This will build a more committed team or prospects.

Being bland can make it harder for people to hear us too. They are looking for points to judge us on. The quicker they can make this assessment the more likely they are to hear the rest of what we are saying. Otherwise a part of their mind is always engaged in evaluating who we are.

3. Communication Styles

Communicating at all the levels of the different personality styles can help establish rapid engagement. If you chose to only engage the same style as yourself, or one style only, you will reach 25% of the people out there. Or rather 25% of those who make it through the other judgment calls. By relating in the different styles it is possible to increase your prospects or audience by 400%! Doesn’t sound too shabby does it?

So what would these styles relate to? Well sharks like fast, hard facts, things that relate to status etc. So details that reinforce this are helpful. Details of the history of the company, how big it is, how quickly it has grown, and placement in the market are important. Urchins might be more impressed by in depth details about legal aspects of the case and exactly how it all works.

Dolphins would rather see how much fun it would be or the ways it could enhance their social needs. Whales like to see it helping humanity or enabling them to be more able to engage in volunteer and team work.

4. Consistency

Being predictable and consistent in your communication methods, timing and content is helpful in establishing trust. This can be within the body of any communication you make and also with ongoing regular communication like with e-mails. Again this is not to say it should be boring. But some degree of consistency creates a reliability scale. People can relax knowing where you are coming from and feeling like they already know you. They will look forward to your e-mails and other calls.

A large variation will mean they will have to re-evaluate you again.

Overall Evaluation

Beyond this though there is the reality that we are all growing and learning. So don’t be too rigid in running your on-line communication. Life is organic and growing so we should allow ourselves to do so too. Authenticity comes through. If we try to maintain some posture, style or method when we have grown beyond that or realize it is no longer serving us, people will read it and the walls of distrust can start to rise again. Communication is dynamic too.

All the best for building your network marketing online.



How a Former Stuttering, Shy Nerd Cracked the Code to Flirting with Women and Creating Sexual Attraction…

Learnhypnosiscenter asked:


Conversational Hypnosis is a deep and complicated process where the hypnotist and subject must have a wide rapport to support.  When you participate in conducting a hypnotic trance your unconscious will be opened to them. Rapport is not a term generated just for use in hypnosis. It happens with everyone you come into conversational contact with.  And the rapport you develop with your subjects is instrumental in conducting successful conversational hypnosis.

Hypnotic rapport is a time tested relationship. It has been present since people have been in existence. It is not fully understood and may never be, but it is very powerful. Rapport is powerful in the sense that anytime a person around you experiences a trance they will inevitably take on a deeper connection with you and your unconscious mind.

You can develop rapport with everyone you knows in your daily life. You can have a rapport with your co-workers, clients, friends and family. Those rapports may differ; in fact they should be different as the relationships with each are different.

These rapports are the basis for the comfort you feel in interacting with these people on a regular basis. This means you can do conversational hypnosis by your side every day.

However, once a person realizes on a conscious level that you are hypnotizing them it can cause them to feel annoyed and uncomfortable around you. They may even feel that you are making fun of them. This is not a good way to build rapport and can be damaging. On the other hand, if you are successful in hypnotizing, and your subject is unaware on a conscious level that you are mimicking them it can build a very strong connection with the person quite quickly.

Conversational hypnosis is a very different form of communication or conversation. It requires different techniques to develop a substantial rapport that the relationship can firmly stand on. Developing and instant rapport with a complete stranger is a skill that will attribute to your success not only as a hypnotist but all in your life.

For more information about the hypnosis rapport and conversational hypnosis, please read “Three Basic Techniques of Covert Hypnosis ” .There you will find some great articles on how to begin using and applying coovert hypnosis in your life.

Build Rapport With a Woman

sulamita berrezi asked:


s a relation marked by harmony, affection and mutual

respect. When you’re in rapport with a woman, she’ll treat you the way

she treats a close friend whom she’s ready to confide in. With an

overwhelming urge to understand as well as to be understood, she’ll

find everything between you and her agreeable.

Potentially, you can make her do anything if there’s a strong rapport

between you and her. She’ll look at you as though she’s looking at

herself. In some instances, she’ll think she’s found her “soul mate”.

Moreover, when two people come into rapport naturally, their body

language tends to coincide. They begin to “speak the same language”.

And they seem to go through the same kind of emotion and exhibit

similar reaction to environment and any other external event.

In order to effectively build rapport with a woman, you should start to

pace her, or mirror her actions. Simply perform similar or even

identical actions as she does. For example, if she frequently gestures

with her left hand while speaking, do the same. Believe me, 99% of

the time she won’t notice it. If she does notice, you’ve probably

overdone it. Just tell her something like, “Oh I’m sorry I didn’t realize

that”… with an innocent look.

It’ll be as if you are holding a mirror up to her so what she sees,

hears, or feels matches her reality and she sees another self in you.

It’s a good idea to practice

pacing one thing at a time: posture, facial expression, mood,

gestures, speech rate, and so on. After you become adept at

pacing, you will be able do it without thinking about it.

Building rapport in real life

whenever you can. For example, you can practice sitting in the

same position as a woman you’re watching. Modify accordingly of

course—you don’t want to sit with legs crossed all the time.

When you practice rapport

building and pace other people’s body language, tonality… pay

attention to how the other party reacts and how your own feelings

change as you adopt different or even conflicting body languages.

This will sharpen your sensory acuity in identifying how women

are feeling during contacts.

building rapport

Michael Jones asked:


Effective communication skills are highly valuable. They enrich our personal and social lives. In business it’s a matter of life and death.

This article will show you how to gain almost instant rapport with whoever you meet whether in person or through writing using highly effective communication skills.

In recent years, much has been learned about the way the human brain processes information. The memories we have, the way we perceive experiences, are controlled by our visual, auditory and kinesthetic abilities.

Everything in our minds is there primarily due to what we see, hear and feel. Remember these three modalities, they are VERY important. Again, they are

VISUAL

AUDITORY

KINESTHETIC

These three modes combine in any learning or communication process. We use all of them to a degree.

However, research indicates that with the majority of us, one of those modes is more dominant than others.

Do you like to learn by watching, looking at diagrams or training videos? Probably you are more visually oriented.

Do you prefer to be told through the spoken word? Or are you the kind that likes to get his hands on the subject and starting doing, learning through a process of experimentation? Then you are probably more of an auditory or kinesthetic.

If this is true of us, it is true of the other person. What if you knew which kind of mode is dominant in the person you are talking or writing to? Could that help build rapport or in some way make your communication skills more effective? ABSOLUTELY!

Companies have spent thousands of dollars educating their salesmen to utilize this knowledge. The results? Dramatic!

How can you apply this very valuable insight? By taking special note of the words and phrases your prospect uses.

People often use expressions that indicate which modality they are thinking in at that moment. For example, “I see what you mean”, “I hear you”, “I’ve got a feeling about this”. When you hear these expressions, sit up, take note. They are sign posts pointing to that person’s modality.

So you have the sign posts, what do you do now? You respond in the same manner. Start using expressions in that person’s dominant modality. Why should this work?

Because words convey ideas to the other person’s mind. You start communicating on the other person’s wavelength. Just like two modems making an internet connection, your two brains start ‘hand shaking’. The effect is amazing.

Skeptical? That’s understandable. Just start, try it and you won’t be any longer. Here is a true life experience.

A successful financial advisor read up on this subject and started employing the methods.

One day he walked into the office of a manager interested in a savings plan. The financial advisor noticed many artistic pictures on the manager’s office walls. He commented on them and gave an honest compliment.

The manager used expressions like “let me show you”, “you must see this”. The financial advisor immediately picked up on this and realized the manager was a visual.

When the time came for him to make his presentation, he started off by saying, “Let me first give you the big picture” and with that he pulled out a diagram. The manager immediately leaned over and started closely scrutinizing the savings plan. From there on it went like a dream.

The rapport was established early on. The manager began to think “I like this man, I can do business with him.” A very good plan was devised which suited the manager’s needs well and both parties were happy – the manager with his plan, the financial advisor with his commission. A win win ending.

Don’t underestimate the power of communicating in the other person’s preferred mode.

Now, how can you apply this in your business? Do you write ad copy or sales letters? Do you do face to face selling or telephone selling?

Sprinkle your words with phrases from each mode and see how the prospect responds. If they respond with similar expressions, you have identified their mode.

Here is a list of words and phrases to help you identify a dominant modality:

VISUAL

crystal clear / focused / flash / hazy / sight for sore eyes / up front / it appears to me / get a bird’s eye view / it looks like / in the mind’s eye / you get the picture / it’s clear cut / take a dim view / tunnel vision / the naked eye

AUDITORY

rings a bell / all ears / certain overtones / harmonize / make myself heard / tuned in / that’s unheard of / to tell the truth / in a manner of speaking / gave him an earful / listen up / tongue-tied / described in detail / sounds like / just say it

KINESTHETIC

I’m conscious of / you can sense / she perceived / lay your cards on the table / come to grips with it / that’s a pain in the neck / pull some strings / hang in there / touch base with / it boils down to / start from scratch / that was under handed / hold on / you need to experience it / in a moment of panic

These lists are just to get you started. There are an abundance of signals out there in the way people express themselves.

You just need to “read the signs”, “hear the bell ring” and “grasp the meaning” behind the words your prospect is using, either in written or spoken form.

Rapport is almost priceless. Agreements, contracts, big business deals are often concluded between people because they sense a bonding between them.

Develop and practice these essential communication skills and your life and business will take on new vitality!



3 Secrets That Women Will Never Reveal To You

jeff bowerman asked:


The effects of building a good rapport with someone are endless. It will make people trust you, and look up to you. Some people are naturally good at being charismatic . The problem is that most people don’t know how to be charismatic and build a good rapport. One of the easiest ways to build rapport is to care about the people you talk to.

When someone someone feels like they are cared about, they will care more about you. This holds true for just about any conversation. Talking to your new neighbor at the mailbox. Flirting with the cute new secretary at work. Virtually any conversation where you want to leave a lasting impression of integrity and value.

Basically this is really simple, what you need to do is take the mental frame of mind wanting to get to know the person. Be curious about them, maybe they know some hidden bit of knowledge you have been seeking for years. You want to look up to them, and respect them. If you take more value in the things they say, they will take more value from what you say.

One easy way to do this is to picture the person as being the next president or famous actor. Some person whom you respect and look up to. Look them in the eyes when they are talking. Don’t stare at them, but make sure you acknowledge that you hear what they are saying. Pay attention, they might have something interesting to say.
