How do You Remember Names?

I am not so good at this either.  It is embarassing.  I have Craig trained though.  Now he just hold out his hand and says Hi I'm Craig and they usually respond with I am Joe Blow.  With clients, I write the names down of their family and their pets when I first meet them.  

Hello Cheri Long,  I know we all have problems sometimes with names but the younger we get the better we remember.  wait, did I say that.

Cheri, this is one of my shortcomings as well.  The gurus say the best way is to repeat the name when you first are introduced and also repeat it to yourself a number of times.  (Though I tend to forget to do this as well.)

It tends to depend on the name for me.  Common names are almost impossible, with the exception of Jennifer.  I know a ton of them!  Odd or ethnic names are easier for me and last names are the easiest.  I'll often call someone by their last name because I can't remember their first name (and that's usually something easy like "John").

Yes, that's after I try to find my phone when I am talking to someone on it!!!

Well, living in Los Angeles, it is ok to use ''my dear'', ''gorgeus'' or something like that:) It helps a lot.

Hi Cheri- I also use what Belinda Spillman uses but it doesn't always work. I write down their name in a notepad I have on my phone, with a hint about them.
