When it comes to building rapport, questions should be open-ended to get the person talking. Reps should save most of the yes/no questions for later, when they're leading the conversation more towards your solution.

Here are the layers to an effective rapport building conversation:

1. Early questions to get off on the right foot - get them talking about a topic they care about

2. Follow-up questions to dig a little deeper - encourage leads to elaborate on something they said, ideally in a way that allows them to share their experiences

3. Keep digging - the further into the conversation, the more personalized the questions should be, based on what the lead has said so far
