The problem is that most people don’t know how to be charismatic and build a good rapport. One of the easiest ways to build rapport is to care about the people you talk to.

One easy way to do this is to picture the person as being the next president or famous actor. Some person whom you respect and look up to. Look them in the eyes when they are talking. Don’t stare at them, but make sure you acknowledge that you hear what they are saying. Pay attention, they might have something interesting to say.

When you respond to them make sure your response is relevant to what they are saying. You don’t want to change the subject if they are talking about something that interests them. People are happier talking about something they enjoy. They are more likely to remember your conversations.
