Rapport is a process of recognizing and sharing values with others through communication. Building rapport allows for productive conversations by engaging attention and gaining trust, which helps attract customers and close sales. The key to building rapport is pacing, which is unconsciously matching and mirroring others' behaviors to develop shared values. Elements of pacing include matching posture, mannerisms, voice, and words used. Understanding primary communication styles like visual, auditory, and kinesthetic can help mirror others during communication.

Body language can provide important nonverbal cues about relationships and communication. Different cultures have varying expectations of personal space, and invading someone's territory can make them feel troubled, defensive, or aggressive. People often wear "masks" in public like smiling or clothing to portray themselves differently than how they truly feel. How people position and orient their bodies during interactions can signal whether they are engaged or distancing themselves from others. Factors like eye contact duration and angles provide additional context during conversations. While words are used to communicate, body language may reveal truths underneath and allow for misinterpretation which can lead to conflicts or legal trouble if signals are misunderstood.

Listening is an active mental process that requires effort and focus, unlike hearing which is passive. Effective listening skills include maintaining a constructive attitude, paying attention, cultivating adjustment to others, and reflecting on content and feelings at a deeper level.

Active listening improves understanding between people, builds trust and respect, and leads to better outcomes compared to passive hearing. However, active listening can be difficult due to distractions like preoccupation or emotions like anger.
