There is no single standard list. Sources give four, five, or six tips, depending on who is counting. This course teaches a working toolkit of five skills instead:

1. Distinguishing cognitive trust from emotional trust, and building both at once.

2. Adapting to different buyer communication styles.

3. Practicing active listening in sales conversations.

4. Opening a cold-start conversation to establish rapport

5. Repairing trust after misalignment.

Sources define them differently. One uses communication, conversation, and connection, and another uses certainty, connection, and clarity, so there is no standard answer. This course doesn't teach a "3 C's" model. Its credibility framework has three pillars that buyers assess in every interaction: competence, character, and consistency.

Practice with feedback works better than reading about it. Rapport Mastery: Building Trust Quickly and Authentically takes about 7 hours across 3 modules and includes self-assessment tools, role-play simulations, and peer-reviewed projects. The examples and role-plays are built around sales conversations, so the course focuses on how to build rapport in sales. It is listed at an intermediate level, and basic experience in a client-facing role is recommended.
