Have you ever confused someone for someone else? How often do you find yourself struggling to remember someone’s name? It is very important to remember a prospect or client’s name because it is very critical to the relationship building process.

There are some very powerful tips to help you remember names and your strategic thinking business coach wants to share ten (10) of my favorites. Here they are:

#1: Introduce yourself first so you can focus on the other person.

#2: Repeat the person’s name as they introduce themselves. Confirm and repeat the person’s name in the first 30 seconds and make the person feel like there is no one else in the world at that time.

#3: Connect the person’s name with your brain when you meet someone. Look for some reminder cue.

#4: Use the person’s name a few times during your conversation. This is a relaxed and natural way to use the person’s name. Spread out the use of the name – at introduction, mid-conversation and when saying good-bye are the most natural. The caution here is to not overuse the name or it will come across as phony and insincere.

#5: Show a genuine interest in the person you meet and ask them questions about their name and/or nickname.

#6: Adopt a positive attitude that says you will remember names.

#7: Associate the name with the person who introduced you to the person.

#8: Introduce the person to someone else.

#9: Record the person’s name, along with contact and personal and business information in your personal organizer. Visualize the person as you do this and repeat their name aloud a few times also.

#10: Practice, practice, practice all the above!

Re: Business Coaching Resources - You're fortunate when you can find a Business Coach who has experience beyond where you've been and even where you are going. When your budget is slim and even after, it's good to have a mentor. Several of various backgrounds are very useful. They can be teachers, professors, pastors, business people, family members, bosses and former bosses. You have to be clear on what you want and what you desire to achieve, be able to convey it as simply as possible. Stop and listen and don't over tax their time. You should always expect results whether from a Business Coach or Mentors. If you're not gtting results, you're either not focused or you need to upgrade the quality of your mentors/coaches. Always surround yourself by people smarter than you.

Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight - Hi Tami, Have you reviewed other comparable sites and coaches? I think that you will find that they have positioned themselves a bit more 'out there', and they dont focus on cheap pricing as the key benefit. I think your copy needs to be much tighter with a focus on the key features and BENEFITS that group coaching provides. Look at The Strategic Coach model etc. Your bio needs to be stronger if you are going to be pitching business development and leadership development. Also, have you put together a strategy for list building and promotions? how many subscribers do you have currently. Local networking as well as grouping some of your existing clients into the first BETA group might help. People dont like 'NEW" services because it comes off that they will be the guinea pigs. Those are my initial thoughts for now. Hope it helps. I'll try and spend some more time reviewing over the weekend and get back to you! Jude
Business Innovation - Hi Simon If you can finish off the Business Plan and think about your strategic direction or how you are going to use your product to convince people it's a great idea, it will set the foundation for your programming project. You see, when you are looking for funding you will need a Business Plan and Strategic Plan that will convince companies to invest into your new idea. Has anyone achieved this idea before using another industry besides health and fitness that you know of? You should also design some mockups as a "preview" for your programming project. This will also help reduce your programming costs as everyone will know exactly what you want if you have detailed mockups already completed including any functionality you require. Starting mockups for websites and software applications on paper is the best way if you're not a guru in graphic editing software.
