About This Quote

In a fast-paced world, it can be difficult to make a good impression on the people you meet. However, when you build up rapport with your colleagues and clients, you can make a positive impression in a short period of time. Rapport is the link between meeting and communicating. To create rapport with someone, you must first have a good understanding of them.

You can accomplish this by taking the time to listen to what they have to say and by asking questions that allow them to express themselves. By being interested in their work and their lives, you will become more familiar with them. Then, when it is time for conversation, you'll have a head start on understanding the other person's point of view.
