The “SAVE Method” for Remembering a Person’s Name
By JLP | October 18, 2012
Have you ever found yourself in the following situation when you meet someone new:
You: “Hello. My name is __________.”
New Person: “My name is ___________.”
You (to yourself): “GREAT! I’ve already forgotten his name!”
Honestly, this happens to me a lot. I guess I’m just not paying attention.
Today I was reading through John Maxwell’s 25 Ways to Win with People: How to Make Others Feel Like a Million Bucks
S – Say the name three times in conversation.
A – Ask a question about hte name (for example, how it is spelled) or about the person.
V – Visualize the person’s prominent physical or personality feature.
E – End the conversation with the name.
I’m going to try this with my wife and see if I can remember her name. (That was a joke, people.)

I’ll have to try it. I’m really bad with names too. I can remember just about everything about you and retain that information in my head – where you live, where you were born, where i met you, how many kids you have, your occupation, your spouse’s occupation, etc. – EXCEPT I cannot remember your name!
