    Know about what's going on with their life, work, family, etc. Today, it is easier to do social engineering to identify who is doing what. Use that. In the first few minutes of the call, ask questions about work, relate with what's happening outside with their work/family/life, etc. Spend 5 minutes talking about nonwork-related things. Next 10 minutes you want to understand your potential client - ask questions. Once you do these, your remaining 15 minutes or 30 minutes become very productive.

    Clients and customers always expect two things from any brand or business. The first one will be the transparency, and the second one will be the personalized services. If you want to build rapport during a video call, ensure that the video is the best accessible platform. Considering your own video call app or platform is the bonus point to provoke consistent branding and personalized service experience. High-quality visual communication and clear voice communication are the first victories. If you are wondering how to build your own video chat app, don't overthink. Now, you integrate video call features into your existing website using APIs and SDKs. Check out MirrorFly Video for more details.

    The best way to build rapport with a potential client during a video call is to maintain eye contact by looking into the camera, actively listen and respond thoughtfully to their concerns, display genuine enthusiasm for their needs, use their name to create a personal connection, employ open body language to convey engagement, and prepare in advance by researching their company and industry to foster a meaningful and focused conversation.

    Start with a brief personal connection, maybe comment on something in their background or a shared interest. Keep the conversation focused, actively listen, and ask relevant questions about their needs and pain points.

    Talk to them like you would anyone else and don’t think about selling them at all. Shift topics until you find common ground over something you can both talk forever about.

    I think professionalism is a must but also honesty. I hate BS on video calls, I much prefer someone to be totally honest. Even if they say, look we are in beta phase right now but we are looking to implement x etc....

    Building rapport during a video call is all about making a genuine connection. Starting by being a good listener and showing interest in their needs. Maintaining eye contact, smiling, and using their name to make it feel more personal. Sharing relevant experiences and stories to find common ground. And not forgetting to be empathetic and understanding toward their challenges. This will help create a strong foundation for a productive client relationship. What do you think?
