Do you struggle with names?  This has personally plagued me for years and is a constant struggle in a people business where we meet new potential clients on a daily basis.  However, I also know that there is no quicker way to impress someone than to remember their name, especially after a long time has gone by.

Here's a tip from a memory master (and yes, I paid dearly for a seminar that I am boiling down to a 30 second email because I am all about, say it with me, helping you make more money, make it faster, and with less cost).  Here you go with the tip -

Use the SAVE method:

S - Say name 3 times when first talking to them

A - Ask a question about the name

V - Visualize a memory hook.  If their name is Lake, visualize them swimming in a lake

E - End the conversation with their name

 

You won't believe how well this little tip works when we put it into play.

Thanks for the tips. It helps also there is a way to have a picture of the person with their contact info in you database management system. I review my contact database regularly.

Thanks for sharing, this is great!  From personal experience the V is key and the more detailed/outrageous the visualization the easier is it to remember.

Good pointers and I agree with Gabe, that the "V" is the key for me.

Thanks for the tips.  I had heard them before but forgot them.  Now hopefully I will be able to commit them to memory.
