About Our Founder

Nicole Hopkins founded Rapport to solve a challenge she saw repeatedly—businesses eager to grow but unable to afford the high cost of an experienced, full-time business developer. She created Rapport to bridge that gap, providing tailored consulting solutions that help companies build effective sales strategies and business development teams.

A top-producing sales leader across multiple industries, Nicole knows what it takes to generate revenue. Her success isn’t just about closing deals—it’s rooted in her ability to cultivate authentic connections that drive long-term growth. This passion for building meaningful relationships is the foundation of Rapport.

Beyond consulting, Nicole is a recognized thought leader, being featured on platforms like Hulu, theSkimm, TEDx, and regional media networks. Her insights on finance, ethics, and homeownership have positioned her as a trusted voice in the industry.
