Tips To Help People Remember You and Your Name - From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Do you hear people saying they are “terrible with names” or “I simply cannot remember names?” Have you found yourself in a very embarrassing situation where someone wants to introduce you and cannot remember your name?
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.

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!
