Creating RAPPORT - an effective tool for increasing sales and building relationships.
An Article by Donna Messer

Rapport as defined in the dictionary is “a relationship marked by harmony, conformity, accord, or affinity,” Increased Rapport – Increased Sales!

Respect others, listen carefully and take the time to learn about them. Relate to their cultural diversity, their interests, hobbies and volunteer activities, these are an important factor in building rapport. Remember who you know. This might be a great connection for them, perhaps it’s a colleague from the same country or a project you are working on through your volunteer organization. Build the bridges………friendship and relationships often happen when each side tries to find common interests. Sales are generated, not just because someone wants to buy, but because there is a common bond.

Appreciate the ways in which you are alike. Find the common denominators and build on them. People like people who are like themselves. They buy from them, sell to them and work with them on joint ventures and strategic alliances. Introduce yourself with information that you want to know about them. Begin your conversation with “Hello, my name is….I am a Mechanical Engineer with ABC company.” Chances are, they will tell you what level of education or degree they have attained and where they are employed. The reply could be, “My name is…….I got my MBA from ………and I worked with a group of engineers on a project in South America.” The rapport has begun, an affinity is developing, increased business will result.

Finding the right candidate is simply a matter of knowing where to look.
An article by, Daniel J. Young, M.Eng., P.Eng., OSPE President and Chair

Face it. Finding the right candidate for your company can be a daunting task. It’s a mission that thousands of employers like yourself, go through each and every year. Some people say it’s akin to looking for buried treasure – where you search and search to no availability. Others say it’s easy if you know where to look.
What’s that you say? You’ve looked and looked and looked, and still no success. Well, it’s time to perk yourself up and start searching in a new place. A place not many employers would think to look. It’s a place we call the professional industry association. And for some employers, it can mean the difference between success and failure.

Let’s say for example, you’re an engineering company and you are in need of professional engineers or engineering students for summer placements. And you’ve tried all the other general job posting sites and newspapers and still no success. Well, instead of sitting back, waiting and wondering what to do next, simply source and locate the professional association that deals with engineers and register with them. It’s that simple. By registering with a professional association, you immediately gain access to all the major players (read potential employees!) in the industry.
