Learn New Names Quickly
Forgetting someone's name right after being introduced is a common problem, but it's also one of the quickest ways to lose points in a social interaction. Remembering and using someone's name, especially during a first meeting, shows that you respect them and value their presence.
To make it easier, repeat their name several times in conversation soon after meeting them. For instance, you might say, "Nice to meet you, John!" and then later, "John, can you tell me more about that?" This simple technique helps cement the name in your memory and leaves a positive impression.
