Firstly, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for
listening to the podcast this year.


It really does light me up to get such positive feedback and
makes it all the more rewarding for taking the time to make the
podcasts each week.


 


We have covered a stack of ground in our conversations relating
to the single focus of Master Deal Maker Secrets - growing
revenue in your business.


 


Inevitably, there have been some episodes that have been
more popular than others and over the next 5 weeks we will
be revisiting the 5 most downloaded podcast episodes for
this year.


 


We are going to start with episode 94, where we talk about 4 Ways
to Get Better with Names.




Forgetting a person's name is something that we've all
encountered at some point in our lives, either professionally
or personally and it can not only be embarrassing, but it can
also cost you business or relationships. 




If this resonates with you believe me you are not
alone, I’ve been guilty of this and I know how
embarrassing it is to be in front of someone and forgetting
their name, more so if they notice. 




So, how can you avoid having to ask for their name or having
them point out your omission?  




Firstly, if you are used to this happening
to you it is essential that you don´t
tell yourself you are bad with names.  




There are some other things you can say that recognise your
deficit but don’t let the issue sit there. If you find
yourself saying things like “I’m not good with names, but I´m
good with faces” I really suggest you stop. 




When you do this, you are affirming to yourself that you
can’t deal with them, you are disqualifying yourself from
getting better at it. How can you expect not to be
embarrassed when someone notices you’ve forgotten his or her
name if you haven’t even given yourself the chance to work on
this ability? 




It is better to say “I am working on getting better with
names” than stating you can’t remember them. Once you can go
beyond this point there are strategies you can bring into
your daily conversations and routines that will help you
memorize a person’s name so you never forget it. 




So, if you are interested in stopping forgetfulness from
getting in the way of your business relationships, I really
encourage you to listen to this episode, I know that it is
something that I wish I’d been exposed to a lot earlier in my
professional career so, I believe these strategies will
really help you.
