Product Description

Yes, it really works: Nicholas Boothman's breakthrough program of "rapport by design" really does show you how to make people like you in 90 seconds or less. Now it's available in paperback, with a newly created workbook section based on the author's hundreds of workshops.

Whether selling, managing, applying to college, looking for a job—or looking for a soulmate—the secret of success is connecting with other people. Nicholas Boothman shows exactly how to make the best out of any relationship's most critical moment—those first 90 seconds that make up a first impression. Armed with his program, readers learn how to establish immediate trust by synchronizing voice tone and body language; the power of a Really Useful Attitude; and how to get people talking and keep them talking. He discusses eye cues, the magic of opposites attracting, and sensory preferences—some of us are Visual people, others are Kinesthetic (responding most to the sense of touch), and a few are Auditory. So when you say "I see what you mean" to a Visual, you’re really speaking his or her language.

Amazon.com Review

The average person's attention span lasts about 30 seconds. That means first and immediate impressions count, and big. In this modern-day update of Dale Carnegie's classic How to Win Friends and Influence People, former fashion photographer Nicholas Boothman instructs you in how to mold those 30 seconds to your greatest advantage and connect with others at business and social functions.

Boothman, now a lecturer and licensed master practitioner of neurolinguistic programming (the art and science of how the brain affects human connections), says that the key to making others like you quickly lies in establishing a rapport: you have to find out what you have in common or, if you seemingly have nothing in common, purposely try to become like the other person for a short time. He then goes on to offer simple techniques for getting a rapport going: adopt a positive attitude; make sure your words, tone, and gestures are all saying the same thing; synchronize your attitude and body movements to those of another person's (which makes the person feel comfortable with you--although he or she may not know why); and ask lots of open-ended questions. Boothman also describes how to figure out a stranger's favored sense for receiving information about the world--some rely on visual cues, others on auditory or kinesthetic (touch) input--and use it to your best advantage.

If discovering how to connect with others is the secret to business and life success, as Boothman contends, then employing the strategies in this book will make you instantly likeable and give you a leg up on the competition. --Nancy Monson

Quite Simply - use open, pleasing body language and watch your interactions change        Rating:

I don't normally take the time to write reviews on amazon, but I stumbled onto this audiobook at the library, had a listen, and felt compelled to share.

What I love about this audiobook is that it's really simple, and has a few great ideas. What was most valuable for me, was the stuff about open body language, and asking open questions. That is, asking questions that require more than just a "yes" or "no" answer.

It's amazing how it's been very easy for me to strike up conversations at the grocery store and other places. Because people feel more compelled to talk to me when I'm exuding that openness. It's kind of crazy, actually.

Well, that's all for me. You want more, listen/read the book. And btw, the audiobook is great because he does a fantastic job of reading it. Very pleasing voice, with nice inflection, not like some authors that just drone on, or some voice actors who overdo it.

Great stuff.

Wonderful Explanation of Introductions and Why We Like People        Rating:

Despite the awkward title (was embarrassed for people to read it - ironically gives the wrong impression) this book is full of great information. When strangers meet, there are specific steps they go through very quickly to determine if they like each other or not. Nicholas walks through each step and explains why or how a person can maximize their likability to the other person. He's done his research and it was truly fascinating to read.

We Only Have One First Impression        Rating:

We meet people every day in our lives, at work and outside of work. What if you could make such a first impression that they never forgot your name. This book can show you how to do that, what really goes on in someones mind. And how to use it in our benefit. The first minute and a half are the most important in any meeting, make it your best by learning and applying what this book talks about. And you will walk away every single time a winner.
