Do You Have Any Friends?

We Like People Who Are Like Us!
The problem is, we are not like everyone in the world
So it is easier to sell to people who are like us – we naturally have a rapport.
So how do we build rapport with people we are NOT like?

Matching Body Language
55% of your message says: “ I am like you”
If you are like me, I will like you and I’m more likely to listen to what you say
Avoid matching nervous twitches
Avoid waving your arms around when you are listening
Use their gestures when it is your turn to speak
