We continue this week our series on Rapport from the MaxP seminar 2003 in South Beach, Florida. I hope you are finding the content useful and enjoyable.
Part 4 continues where we left off with Rhythm and Vibration and then leads into one of the most powerful techniques for raining rapport instantaneously. This technique can even be used over the phone – which makes it that much more powerful and useful.
Let me Help You!
I really want to hear your feedback on this content. Even more important I want you to go out and use the skills and report back on what worked or what you had problems with – then leave a comment with your questions, success or failures on the blog or Facebook.
The person with the most interesting post will win a 20 minute one on one phone call with me. You will be able to ask me any questions you have on the subject of Rapport.
Will you win? Well, you 100% wont if you don’t leave a comment 
Until next week.
Warmly,
Kenrick

Amazing, it is easy to see that this will open doors to setting rapport with anyone one I wish to.
Thanks

“I quit listening to this. The very first recording was frustrating. The person who was chosen to work together with the speaker was unprepared and just had a sense of unproffesionalism to the entire opperation. With poor audio quality and, what seemed to be, very unpreppared agenda; it became very difficult to listen to. Get ahold of me when the program improves. I would love to learn NLP.”
Hi,
Sorry you got frustrated.
This is from a live event and the recording is a good as can be expected from a large, live event.
I can assure you that the agenda was VERY prepared. I prepared it.
Did you listen to the segments that came before? That might help.
Our Persuasion Factor program was studio recorded all except for the first lesson, which I am re-recording now. You might want to start there. Right now you get the first 2 lessons for only $1.
Do remember, that while my background is in NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis, everything I teach is oriented to conversational persuasion. I was the first person to translate NLP into a full on business application. Richard Bandler (co-founder of NLP) and I created the Business Practitioner and Business Master Practitioner courses in which I was the only Trainer allowed to teach them. Then I went on and developed much more.
We will continue to make a lot of my earlier works available. I recommend paying attention to the content (stellar) vs. the recording quality (reflective of the times). Today’s recordings are generally much better.
Thanks again for writing. And feel free to post any comments directly to the board. Good or constructive ways to improve, I appreciate them both.

Kenrick, you’re the best at rapport & conversational persuasion!
This reminds me a lot of a concept in the martial arts applications of tai chi chuan (taiji quan) … a passion of mine.
We talk about it as “sticking / adhering / attaching to the person’s center” … and it is the pre-requisite to developing the type of touch & issuing abilities of fellows like grandmaster Huang Shang Shyan (Huang Xingxian) … seen here ::

I wonder if this is a topic you have also studied Kenrick? If not, I’d be very interested to explore the connections!
I have found many connections between taijiquan / martial arts in general & persuasion … and of late have found it more & more difficult to distinguish the blurred line between “force” and “suggestion”
Thanks again for all the great materials Kenrick! I have a huge library of your works, and find them hands-down to be the best of their type available.
Very good explanation of why this “jump into you” rapport technique work! I heard this technique somewhere but always unsure how it work…your explanation hit the nail on the head!!!
Question:
Is it possible to do this rapport technique on someone that not in the same room with you?
Thanks a lot!
Hi Marshall,
I have not studied Tai Chi Chuan. My early training in marshal arts showed me that there are huge connections. I’ve trained many high level martial artists and they all point to many similarities. This fascinates me.
I would enjoy discussing this with you.
And thanks for your kind words.
Hi Henry,
Glad my explanation helped.
It is absolutely possible to do this on someone not in the same room. They don’t have to be in the same building or even the same Country.
You can do this while on the phone with someone, before a meeting with them (even if you have never met them, after meeting with them to strengthen the connection – let your imagination be your guide.
There are ways to use this strategy darkly as well as I point out in The Dark Side 1 and 2.
By the way, you can do this for your benefit too, like you can jump inside someone you are learning from. See through their eyes, hear what they hear and move like they move – you will learn faster. Filter for taking the positive and leave what you don’t want. That’s a bit more advanced and easily doable.
Enjoy.

I began working with this material today and got some very strong feedback. One of the people I’ve scanned seems to have their rhyme outside body. I’ve gone back several times and checked, get the same hit. Have you run into this?
Great material
thanks
Hi John,
Absolutely, I’ve seen that as well. However it presents to you is fine.
Practice having the energy speed up and slow down and watch what happens.

Rapport is discussed as a particular state, a thing. I’ve got rapport in the past and I get rapport using your teachings. Even using your teachings in different combinations seems to get different results. I get some amazingly powerful results using your methods. I was wondering at advanced levels does it becomes more of an art, you control the context and depth of the rapport?
I step into someone, they are not aware of me, but I see and mirror them physically. This has the same effect as the traditional mirroring process?
Thanks
(lol I played with the second question seems like it might be even more powerful)
On personal note wanted to say thank-you,spent part of the day practicing with my energy and picking up on others vibrations and the movement of the energy. I was amazed.
I found sometimes I was a little fuzzy( for want of a better word) after stepping out of someone. I found, do your Wow technique in my body and I’m back and grounded.
Thanks for the information and your time
HI Ken!
Thanks for your reply to my questions! I would like to know if it possible to use this “Jump into you” technique to get into rapport with more than one people at the same time?
Thank you!
Hi Henry,
I wouldn’t. Just do one at a time. It doesn’t lend itself well to more than one.
In The Dark Side ll, I spoke of a technique for persuading groups using a huge head. Refer to the program for specifics.
