To enhance your ability to remember names, it's beneficial to save contacts immediately after you meet someone. This practice allows for better retention of their name over time. You can jot down the name on paper, input it into your phone contacts, add them on social media platforms like Facebook, or invite them to connect on LinkedIn.
By documenting the person's name shortly after your introduction, it establishes a convenient reference that reinforces memory, ensuring you can recall their name in future interactions. This technique is highlighted in Susan C. Young's book, "The Art of Communication," as a key strategy for effective communication.
