Names, names names

DALE CARNEGIE SAID OVER 75 YEARS AGO

“Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”

- Dale Carnegie

No single action conveys the message "you're important" as effectively as remembering another person's name. Here are some steps you might take to help ensure name recollection:

  • Hear and understand the name
  • Create a mind picture linking the name with the person
  • Add details about the person to the mind picture
  • Repeat the name in conversation
