How I did it: Since remembering names are vital to my line of business (sales), I took this goal seriously. It took me a while to think about the name as it was being said, but after much practice, it become easy and fun.

Mnemonics such as "Mike has a bike" didn't really work for me. It was far easier to repeat the name back to them or just echo it in my head after. After a while, repeating the name back becomes second nature.

Lessons & tips: People love to hear their names. I read somewhere that their name is their favorite word in the language. So say it right back to them and you will get an instant connection.
