Imagine you meet someone named Mary.
Handshake, break.
Imagine she's getting married or she's carrying two lambs under her arms.
And here's the thing.
It overcomes in business what I call the six-second rule.
Somebody tells you something important in a conversation or their name, you have six seconds to do something with it.
Otherwise, what happens?
You lose it.
It's gone.
Out of your working memory, short-term memory, it's gone.
Got it.
So this helps you to focus uniquely on both the person and also the name.
So if a person's name, so for example, is let's say Carol.
Imagine they're singing Christmas carols.
A person's name is Mike.
Imagine them jumping on the table, singing on a microphone for a split second.
And then when you say goodbye to them 20 minutes later, you're like, oh, that guy was singing karaoke on the microphone.
What's his name?
Mike.
Because it glues it.
