Remember Every Name Every Time: Secrets of a Memory Consultant to Corporate America

There is a career skill that very few executives talk about and a networking skill that few master networkers will tell you about.
Yet it could mean better promotions, more business and deeper relationships.
It is the subject of jokes and lame excuses from more grown adults and experienced business people than almost any other.
It is the ability to learn and remember other people's names.
Benjamin Levy has worked with corporate America, coaching top CEO's and executives on how to remember the name of the important people they meet (which is everyone they want to help, do business with, or make feel good).
He has made a living by remembering names and by teaching others how to do the same.
This book distills years of study and application of some very simple principles.
You need this book if you've ever embarrassed yourself by forgetting a name or if you avoid networking and parties because of it.
If you're in business and want to take your business to the next level with a very simple trick of learning names, then pick up a copy of "Remember Every Name Every Time; Corporate America's Memory Master Reveals His Secrets" by Benjamin Levy.
As promised on the cover of the book, Mr.
Levy reveals all of his secrets of remembering people's names.
The first secret is that we don't properly learn names in the first place.
The introduction is botched, or the room is too loud, or the name - in our multi-cultural world - is unfamiliar.
So we didn't even get their name in the first place.
We're too shy or feel stupid asking them to repeat their name.
We think we forgot it, but we didn't even get it in the first place.
Mr.
Levy provides a basic system and an advanced system for remembering names.
Both very kindly use a mnemonic device with basic as F.
A.
C.
E.
and the advanced with N.
A.
M.
E.
He reports that many of his clients get by very well with the basic method.
One of the reasons I am a very popular networker is that I work hard at remembering people's names.
They are often impressed that I will meet them once, then be able to recall their names.
It's because I use this basic technique, which I learned from this book.
You can build your confidence and your own networking skills with the information Mr.
Levy provides.
