Will You Add? - How To Make Sure You Never Forget A Name Again
If you often attend networking meetings sponsored by your local Chamber of Commerce or some other industry group, perhaps after a trade show, conference or on-going training requirement then I have some really good advice for your about the name tags you will be wearing, you know those silly little; “Hello My Name Is:” name tags? The ones you always forget to take off and then someone you do not know after you have left the party says; “HI, and your name!” and you look at them and think; Do I know this person? Yes those name tags.Well there are some very co
Try not to link the image to their clothing or something they are wearing such as jewellery, especially if you are likely to meet them again. They are highly unlikely to be wearing the same thing when/if you next meet them.
If you’re with a group of people for a whole day, linking to clothing can work while you get to know them better. It helps to keep recalling their names throughout the day and using their name when in conversation with them.

Business must be tampered with heart and care for environment and others. Failure to do so, will lead to all kinds of problems.Take for example, the global warming and earth changes are direct effects of this lack of care. Many of us simply did not cared enough to keep the environment from deteriorating. Businesses focussed purely on profit-making are just not good enough.In my view, we should not assume that mankind is central to the world. A human-based economic system should ideally also take into account the well-being of the entire ecosystem.Perhaps, economy sho
The first step is to prepare yourself mentally. Make a conscious decision to remember all the names of the people you are about to meet.
Listen
When you’re about to be introduced to someone, listen carefully and CONCENTRATE! How often does it go in one ear and out the other because we’re not really listening or our thoughts are elsewhere?
Repeat
If you miss it, ask them to repeat it. When you first hear someone’s name, repeat it straight away, “Good to meet you John” and try to use it three times during your conversation, “So, tell me John …” and when you leave, “Thank-you, John, it was good to meet you ... If you realise you’ve forgotten their name by the time you come to end the conversation – politely ask them again? This will help reinforce their name in your mind. If it’s an unusual name ask how it’s spelled.
Association
The easiest way to remember someone’s name is by association.
Do they remind you of anyone? A friend, relative, work colleague, actor or well-known person, living or dead?
Do they have the same first name as someone you know? Does their first name or surname create an image in your mind?
What type of person do they look like – a lawyer, an accountant, a typical …salesman, teacher … (what’s typical to you will be different from someone else, use your association)?
Does their name link directly to an occupation in which case the image is easier to form – Baker, Gardner, Porter etc.
Create a picture
Now create an image with as many of the elements as possible – the person who they remind you of, a location, the image of their surname and the person you know with the same first name. Make it as visual, colourful, bizarre and as detailed as possible.
For example Michael White – reminds you of an accountant, visualise him with a massive ‘white’ calculator, pouring over a pile of papers and account books, surrounded by large, colourful numbers.
David Brooks reminds you of Woody Allen and has the same name as your Uncle David – visualise your Uncle David in ‘Manhattan’ dancing around in a ‘brook’ that meanders between the buildings.
Another obvious association is between someone’s name and a physical feature or trait. The shape of their face, a distinguishing part such as eyes, ears, chin, nose, hair colour etc. Alan Blackburn has big black sideburns (does that translate?). So emphasis the image – see your friend Alan (also called Alan) with big black sideburns or a large 'allen' key with great big Black sideburns.
The first thing you think of is the strongest association – use this, it will make it easier to recall later.
Practice
This might sound like a very long-winded and lengthy approach but the brain is amazingly fast, efficient and brilliant at recognising images. The more you practice, the faster you will get at making associations and the easier it will become. The brain works more effectively with images and the more bizarre they are the more likely you are to recall the information.
Try not to link the image to their clothing or something they are wearing such as jewellery, especially if you are likely to meet them again. They are highly unlikely to be wearing the same thing when/if you next meet them.

Having decided to go into business and selected a potential business idea the question arises, should you start from scratch or buy an existing business? If you are one of the few who have a completely new product or service, the decision, by definition, is made for you. For others, the choice is open.A major appeal of buying an existing business is speed - the business is a going concern - hopefully, revenue will come in from day one. There is little inconvenience: no looking for suitable premises, choosing equipment or finding new customers and suppliers.A second and impo

One of the easiest ways to make a profit through wholesale is to align yourself with a drop ship wholesaler.I have been doing business with a company for the past nine months. I am very satisfied with the results. The main points of satisfaction are that they have quality products, and usually ship by the next day of the order being placed. They ship by Fedex, and the shipping rates are reasonable.The first thing you do is set up an online store. This store is purchased through them, and it is pre-stocked with their products. This is not a monthly fee. The first step is t

Choosing a paper shredder can be complicated enough with the hundreds of models to choose from, but throw in paper shredder lingo and the process becomes even more frustrating. The following terms cover everything from what a paper shredder is to the definition of the recent laws that are making paper shredders more and more of a necessity.Auto On/Off - A standby mode allowing the shredding mechanism to activate when paper passes through the feed entry and stop when the document has been completely shredded.Auto Reverse - Allows a paper shredder to automatical

You should look for hotel job opportunities if you are interested in working in the hospitality industry. You can easily find something in your area because there are hotels everywhere. You can do many different jobs in a hotel, and you have to be flexible to do them effectively. Hotels need workers at all hours and on all days of the week because they never close. If you are lucky enough, you can secure a daytime position, even if you haven’t worked at a hotel for a long time.There are hotel job opportunities that match your skills and capabilities. For example, you can work at t

If you get introduced to more than one person at a time, for instance in a group, take your time, scan each face and find the association. The more you do it the faster you’ll become and the easier the associations will be to find.
Review
Another important key to remembering names and faces is to review them regularly. When you’re at a meeting or social event, you can briefly scan the faces in the room and recall the names. The more often you do this, the more likely you are to remember them. When you get home, recall their face. If you have their business card, recall their face linked to their card and if possible do the same the following day and a week later to get it into longer-term memory.
The more often you associate the face with the name, the more likely you are to remember them the next time you meet them. You know how good it feels when someone actually remembers your name and people are always flattered when you do.
Use these ideas and with a little practice you need never forget a name again.
