Rapport is arguably the most tactic salespeople use to turn customers into buyers. There's an exact science to it that should be covered in this article; which should not be merged with mirroring as it is a separate concept altogether. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:DesertPhox|DesertPhox]] ([[User talk:DesertPhox|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DesertPhox|contribs]]) 21:02, 22 September 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

  • oppose merge -- different topics (for me). Rapport has both a general meaning, and also a series of views, and associations in NLP. Its important that people looking up rapport in general, are not pointed to a substantially-NLP article, since this would misrepresent rapport. On the other hand, people who want to read NLP's methods related to rapport should not be limited to a minority view of a larger article. FT2 (Talk) 14:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose merge Yeah, me too. They do have their differences, though of course they should have references to each other. Mathmo Talk 22:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jung's Contributions

Jung had several things to say about rapport, especially in a clinical setting.

Also, there is some preliminary evidence that Socionics' 7th function may be the origin of rapport. This function is believed to "limit" or exclude information it does not agree with. People who possess the same ranges of limited information would naturally see the world similarly, because they see themselves in similar situations.

Definition

it would be great to find a definition of the term, others we do not know what we are talking about —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.77.41.7 (talk) 17:52, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The link on the right-hand side to the Wiktionary entry should suffice, per WP:DICT. I don't think that the inline definition that is currently at the bottom belongs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banazir (talkcontribs) 22:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but it is very strange to start an article without first explaining what we are talking about. Rapport definitely needs a definition. Lova Falk talk 17:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Definition at the Top

The definition at the top of the article talking about being "in sync" and "on the same wavelength" seems a bit too slangy and informal, although maybe this helps people understand the definition better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanthanyes (talkcontribs) 01:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology People

Etymology of rapport needed... Its not pronounced with a 't', why is there a 't' at the end? 217.131.183.218 (talk) 17:15, 9 October 2009 (UTC)School sucks[reply]

Rapport as a sales technique

Rapport is arguably the most tactic salespeople use to turn customers into buyers. There's an exact science to it that should be covered in this article; which should not be merged with mirroring as it is a separate concept altogether. DesertPhox (talk) 21:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
