Never Forget This!!!

Now we have all been there. Whether it’s at a public gathering like church, or meeting a mutual friend at home.

We casually introduce ourselves to a new person. We talk for a few moments. We get to know them and maybe we even end up liking them.

But then five minutes later we cannot even remember their name.

What’s the point of talking if you won’t even remember their name? Why waste your time?

There’s also a level of respect that comes with knowing a name. We’ve all felt guilty of it, just as much as I am sure we’ve felt disrespected when someone cannot remember ours. 

And that’s the exact thing. Most of us actually want to remember names, and be remembered, we just don’t make enough of a conscious effort to do so.

So Luke, how do we remember names?

The trick is to use their name. 

Instead of saying, “It’s nice to meet you”, say “It is nice to meet you John, my name is Luke”. And make a conscious effort to use their name anytime you can - just don’t make it weird.

But we are also all human, so it’s okay if you forget sometimes. Just be sure to figure out their name and reassure them that you genuinely want to know their name. 

It takes practice, but I think you will surprise yourself.

Very few things will make someone feel as amazing as being remembered after not talking for a few months or even years, so go make people feel good about themselves!

Stay Clutch,

Luke
