Rapport Builderz

Origins of Rapport Builderz

No way I wanted to become a salesperson. When I was a child, I held the stereotype of a manipulative car salesman who would do and say anything to win your business. I rejected this. My values are to help people, be of service, and make a difference in the world with integrity and authenticity. During my education, I passionately studied psychology and social work, eventually earning a Ph.D. Then I accepted a job representing an Employee Assistance Program where I marketed and sold mental health services in the workplace. Lo and behold I found myself in sales! . I wanted to succeed. Since I lacked training in this skill, I began to learn from thought leaders in sales. After reading The Platinum Rule by Tony Alesandra, I had my direction: treat other people the way they wanted to be treated. It resonated with my personal values. This was the beginning of Rapport Builderz. At the core of Rapport Builderz is the AlikeAbility™ System. It is based on the 4 Temperaments, which Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, formulated over 2000 years ago. Many personality systems come from this theory. Yet, they tend to be complex and lack a prescription for how to apply them to selling. Most importantly, the AlikeAbility™ System is focused on sales, and provides clear-cut directions for how to treat prospects and convert them to clients. We have an expression in our Company.

No Rapport; No Sales.
Know Rapport; Know Sales.

If you’re convinced that rapport is essential to opening sales conversations, to building the Know-Like-Trust factor, then Rapport Builderz gives you the tools to do so quickly and authentically. We open minds to close business.

Testimonials

“I am a client of Dr. Zare’s and can attest to how her training will markedly change the way you think about the interactions you have with your customers. Her method of educating you about how to better relate to the different personality types that make up your clientele is very eye-opening. For me, that has meant that I can recognize how to best speak with my clients, and potential clients, and more effectively “speak their language” to create a more genuine and compatible business relationship. This has resulted in a more satisfying and more profitable experience in my practice. Dr. Zare can help any business that sells directly with customers and I would encourage you to do so to help you open new doors towards greater success.”
