One of the most valuable busines skills is the ability to remember people's names, says Nicholas Aretakis, author No More Ramen: The 20-Something's Real World Survival Guide (Next Stage Press, 2006). Name recall will boost your image, earn you respect and differentiate you, he explains. Mr. Aretakis suggests making names visual, aural and tactile. When you're introduced to someone, picture his or her name spelled out in print. Also, ask for a business card and write down where and when you met the person on the back.
