Tips To Help People Remember You and Your Name - From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Tips To Help People Remember You and Your Name - From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Sigmund Freud said, “A person’s name is the single context of human memory most apt to be forgotten.” Wow – that is quite a statement. That may be an explanation, but it is not a reason or excuse for people not to commit to being able to remember names.
The ability to remember names and call people by their name when communicating with them is a very valuable asset. This skill will provide a strategic advantage in social and business settings. But, yes I remember that some of you have told me that you cannot remember names. So, Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach is offering a list of tips to help people remember your name.
Tip #1: Repeat. Repeat. Repeat your name. Refer to your name in your conversation at least 3 times and it will greatly increase the probability of the person remembering your name.
Tip #2: Tell the person something interesting about your background, culture and how you got your name. This is one of my favorites since I do not have a first name. I only have the initial “J.” as my first name. No it does not stand for John, Joseph, Jacob, et al. And I love to tell the story about how I got the name because it is unique.
Tip #3: Give them your business card after meeting them. You may even “highlight” your name on the card. This is especially effective for a visual learner.
Tip #4: Maintain good eye contact when you are introduced and greet them with a firm handshake while repeating your name.
Tip #5: Speak very clearly and pay close attention to the person you are being introduced to so they will know you are interested in meeting them. Help them develop a strong mental image of you by sharing something unique about you and your business.
Tip #6: Send a follow-up email to people you meet with your contact information. If you have made a favorable impression, there is a strong possibility that they will record your information in their address book or other organizer along with any personal or business notes they have from your conversation.
Tip #7: Call the person on the telephone as a follow-up contact to reinforce memory of your name and the meeting and conversation you had.
Tip #8: Send a personal note (handwritten is preferred) to reinforce the memory of your name and your meeting and conversation. You will also want to let them know you enjoyed meeting them.
Tip #9: Try to end your conversation after meeting someone with something that will be easy to remember and have some value and impact on the person you met. It could be a quote, a brief story, an interesting fact or something you believe the person will be capable of remembering and connecting you with that remembrance.
Tip #10: Practice, practice, practice all of the above.
Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach encourages you to continuously improve your business, social and networking skills, including how to be remembered by those who meet you.
