The sensitiveness of potentiometer can be increased by the following two methods.
1- by placing the jockey at right position .
2- by using the thick wire to have minimum resistance affected at it..
3- the rheostat should be placed at correct position.
4- the connection should be neat, clean and tight.

Hence sensitiveness of a potentiometer can be increased by 
1.by decreasing its potential gradient by increasing the length.....
2.reducing the current in the circuit by rheostat
