5 Great Tricks to Remember Someone’s Name [LIST]

We all do it, forget someone's name immediately after we're introduced. Here are 5 great ways to remind yourself without looking like a jerk... if you're slick about it.

• 1.  Ask them to put their number in your phone.  Usually they'll enter their first and last name.  And they'll probably be flattered, because it makes them think you want to keep in touch.
• 2.  Ask for their email address.  Most people have their name in it somewhere, or at least a first initial.  Hopefully enough to jog your memory.
• 3.  Introduce them to a friend.  If they're polite, they'll introduce THEMSELVES to your friend, and you'll get the name a second time for free.
• 4.  Ask them how to spell their name.  If you try it with a Tom or a Mary, they'll see right through it.  But most names have at least a few alternate spellings, so it won't seem weird if you ask.
• 5.  Get their business card.  People love to give them out, and they'll be thrilled if you ask for it.  Plus, if you forget the name again, you'll always have the card to remind you.
