Ahhhhhh You just met him/her and immediately forgot the name

Terrible feeling right?

I've been there many times

Is it too late to ask for the name?
is that rude?

Here's a quick guide on how to get the names back w/ some simple tricks...

[THREAD]
1/ So...You're at the party and shook a bunch of different hands

Awesome, you're socializing and getting your name out there

You're letting people know you exist

But what happens when all of these new names escape your mind?

Time to recall...

👇🏼
2/ 🗣️"Put Your full name & number in my phone"

My favorite way to go about getting their name, after I forgot it, is to tell them to put their # in my phone

When they say yes, tell them to put in their FULL name

This is a Quick way to acquire the forgotten name

👇🏼
3/ 🗣️"Let's connect via Email, what's yours?"

If you're networking or socializing, chances are that the people you're mingling with have an email...ask them for it

Most emails are linked to their name

They probably won't recognize the fact that you forgot their name

👇🏼
4/ 🗣️"Hey meet my friend [INTRO]

You may have forgotten that persons name, but, you can introduce your friend, step back, listen and wait for the names to sound off

When you hear the name a second time, don't forget it

Say it 20x in your head while looking at them

Easy

👇🏼
5/ 🗣️Show them your school I.D or drivers license

This can be done in a light-hearted, joking manner

"Dude, look how bad my I.D pic is! Yours can't be this bad, let's see it!"
"Does your school idea look like mine? Did they change the template?"

Quick way to get the name

👇🏼
6/ 🗣️ Foreign accent trick

Tell the forgotten person that his/her name sounds like it would be really difficult to pronounce with a foreign accent

Tell them to try and say it in a French, Russian or Italian accent

Funny...but a solid way to get the name

👇🏼
7/ 🗣️Remind them of your name

"Hey, it was a pleasure meeting you. My full name is Paul Domenick by the way, what's your full name again?"

Do this because you most likely didn't say your full name when you first met

👇🏼
8/ 🗣️ Be straight up!

Sometimes it best to be straight up when you forgot someone's name

"Hey, I'm sorry, remind me of your name one more time?"

It's harmless

As soon as they say their name, USE IT in response

"Thanks Joe, I won't forget it. Take care, Joe!"

👇🏼
