One major principle which we come across everyday is that every business is a people kind of business. The industry does not really matter and it can be any for that matter, but if you are not relating to people, with whom you deal with, talk to, manage, or lead, then your career might be a long drag. In some or the other way building rapport is critical when you are duplicating a relationship and trading over a phone call. In Austin SEO managers depend on content editors for rapport building. Building affinity is the initial step towards gathering firmness as well as trust.
Here are a few tried and tested tips that can be used while building a rapport:

Research prospects on LinkedIn- When you are about to make a call to a certain prospect of yours, you must review their LinkedIn profile to find out their expressions in the profile picture, the way they have dressed up. Although all these questions might not answer your queries but will definitely give you indications that how a prospect is going to behave and how they perceive themselves.

Understand Your Prospect’s Persona- When we talk about persona’s, the first thing which comes in mind is the buyer persona that is related to the business pain, job function and the other firmographic data. There are a lot of things that you need to understand, which is definitely beyond demographics. It is necessary to understand their priorities and business focus which is shaped up by their job. Moreover, salespeople are very thoughtful kind of people and are much concerned about their numbers and are always behind quick ways to expand their numbers. Whereas when it comes to the Marketers they are quite protective about their marketing efforts, but they are always desirous of learning and inclined towards cooperating in order to bolster their marketing strategy.

Get prospects to laugh- If you are good at making your prospects feel comfortable even over the call, then you are surely doing the right thing. However, if a prospect laughs over the call, it means he/she is complacent and you are not just a faceless sales robot to them. The ride will be more interesting if the prospect is comfortable enough to listen to you. Lastly, if prospects will enjoy the call, the call will last longer and that will be an indication for the future also that they will interestedly take your calls.

Ask good opening questions- Starting off with general and basic questions might give you an idea about the prospect. Their tone is the most important thing which you need to notice during the conversation, because their interestedness and negligence will be represented by their tone. To get knowledge of your prospect, it is mandatory to extend the conversation as much as possible.

Know when to switch to the sales conversation- Do not relate rapport building with relationship selling. There are different kinds of prospects; some would talk so much that they will talk your ears off, while some will straight away come to the business deal. In case you are too much into rapport building you might seem like a glad-handing relationship seller. Start with a question and wait for the prospect to answer it, you will know what are they thinking. The moment you know that they want to come to the ‘business’ point now, discuss your schedule with them and tell them the reason for your call.
