University Etiquette Men's Grooming Remembering Names

Outclass the Competition

A person is to try to remember the names of people to whom he or she has a business association, been introduced to, and/or sees frequently.

Remember the name of people with whom you come in contact. The name of each person met is to be written down on the back of a business card with a memory jogger at the first opportunity.

Practice reading the names on business cards in your possession, and placing a face with each, often.

You can have a binder with pages for your business cards segregated by location where each set of people were met. It may be segregated in business field sequence and then alphabetically by name (as in a telephone book.)

Greet people by their name, whenever polite and possible. Learning the precise pronunciation of the name of each colleague here and in each country is to be part of the remembering process. Use a name as part of an invitation, introduction, a way of pulling someone into a conversation, or to make a compact with someone.

When someone asks, “Do you remember my name?” You can say, “Remind me your name.” Use can forgive a person for forgetting your name. You can use that person’s name when you do.
