Great advice

like

Yeah, just be a human and listen. Don’t rush at all, there’s plenty of time to know each other and case

Also, reading up where the person is from, where do they live can provide some conversation starters

like

Practice speaking slowly and smiling. A smile and natural, calm speech will make rapport easier.

If time allows, read the old Dale Carnegie book “How to Win Friends and Influence People”
