How To Remember Someone's Name When You Are Introducing Them In A Business Situation

How can I remember someone's name when I am introduced to him or her?

Remembering people's names when you are introduced to them is an art-form. In fact, I taught a stranger that this weekend because he didn't remember my name. I said, let me teach you a trick and he was fascinated. There are several tricks that you can do and one of them is to write that person's name on their forehead in black magic marker in your mind's eye. So I look at you, and I write the word, “Tamara” in black magic marker or “David” across your forehead. There are also many other ways that you can do it for. Another one is name association. If I see you, I can picture you as a tap dancer – Tamara, the tap dancer, and I can remember your name through name association. Or, David as the DJ, and when I see you, I think of you as a DJ or as a tap dancer. These are great ways of remembering people's names when you are introduced to them.
