Alright. The last thing I want to talk about n introductions is, when you are introduced to someone it is very important that you immediately make note of their name. Their first name and their last name. And, a real good way to remember their name is to use it immediately. In fact, I recommend that you use it three times as soon as you can. So, Stacey. Now, you've been introduced to their first and last name. You don't have to use their first and last name three times. But, the first half hour that you're with them throw their name in. It's a way for you to remember it. You can also take their name and try to make a connection with something. That's another way to remember it. Maybe, their name is Stacey Jones and your wife's sister name is Stacey or her last name is Jones or whatever it is. Stacey rhymes with Tracey and that's my name. So, surely I can remember that. Now, why is this so important? Because, using someone's name is very much a compliment. So, when we're talking about business, when we're doing business together you want to address people by their name. Now, in more formal situations or sometimes educational situations you might refer to them as Mr. Jones or Ms. Jones. But, what is essential is that you do call them by their name.
