SUCCESS STRATEGIES e-zine Rapport Building Skills Studies from several prominent universities say that we decide within the first two seconds of meeting someone whether we like them or not. We make decisions about them in a subconscious way and much of our decision is based on their appearance and their body language. These assessments lead us to snap judgments - right or wrong about people we encounter in our daily lives. You do have a measure of control over how people react to you in those first few moments. Charming people look you directly in the eye in those first few crucial moments; alarming people avoid eye contact or look at you in a nervous way. Charming people smile when they first meet you; alarming people create distrust and anxiety with their serious and worried facial expressions. Charming people use open and receptive body language; alarming people set barriers with their body language and distrust sets in. Thirty Seconds or Less to Instant Rapport Use direct eye contact Smile Introduce yourself Shake hands Ask open ended questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" answer Use Open Body Language Sit or stand facing the person in a direct way (heart to heart) Position your hands so they can be seen (hand to hand) Matching and Mirroring Synchronize means to match your body language to the persons body language you wish to establish rapport with. Mirroring refers to making similar gestures to the person you are interacting with. Your matching and mirroring movements must be subtle. Genuine Smile A real smile starts in the heart, then shows around the lips and then around the eyes. What you thought were wrinkles around the eyes are really your positive attitude indicators.
