Building Rapport? Stop talking about the weather!

video cover

Curious everyone’s thoughts? I love Oren have purchased access to his courses and frankly love the approach. IMO I totally agree stop wasting time by talking about the weather and idle chit chat to build rapport. Focus on the purpose of the meeting, why you are there and the problem that needs solving. Please chime in with your thoughts?

True. Agree with you, instead talk on industry trends, competition dips etc

At this point talking about weather is basically just like saying how are you. Not ideal, but sometimes it just happens

For a meta approach, ask them what they thing about small talk focused on the weather.

Even my rapport is about rapport. It's just like rhyming for the best rappers.
