The
Daily Fix
What's In A Name?
EVERYTHING!
Hey Friend,
I'm writing to you
from somewhere in the North Sea. Something really interesting happened today,
and I have to share it with you.
At dinner the
first night on the ship, we met the wait staff we will be seeing for the next
11 days. Two hours later, the kids and I were playing cards in the middle of a
common area, and we happened to see one of the staff there. He remembered our
names right away! We'd had a two-minute conversation two hours earlier,
but he remembered and called me by my name.
Friend, how does
it make you feel when people remember your name? It makes you feel
honored, doesn't it?
Obviously, whoever
owns this vessel has made it a point to make sure their staff knows the names
of the people on this ship. They know the names of the people who are providing
jobs for them. Did you catch that? Without the customer, there is no
job!
Attract new relationships and bigger profits!
Money doesn't grow on trees. There's no pot of gold,
and it's not going to fall out of the sky. So where does it come from?
Discover the
simple way to create long-lasting relationships and massive profits!
I also noticed
this a few weeks ago when Hans and I were in Turkey and Greece. We were on that
vessel for 2 weeks, and there were several staff members who knew our names
within a day. Every single time we passed by any of them, they called us by our
first names.
Friend, use that
today in your career! Learn people's names! Memorize their names and use
them! Even when you are on the phone with a customer service representative or
booking a plane ticket, write down the person's name.
That's important
on so many levels. It makes the person feel like they're making a new
friend over the phone. When you make a friend on the phone, you may
get better service. And why? Because you made them feel special and important.
This has happened
to so many of my clients who have used the techniques we teach in Unlimited
Success. In fact, several of them have actually gotten free
services and huge discounts by using the strategies they learned
there.
One of those very
simple strategies includes remembering people's names. Every time you encounter
another human being, memorize their name!
You may be
thinking right now, "But Dani, I'm TERRIBLE with names! I'm not good
at remembering names."
Friend, it's
because you're thinking too much about yourself. You're thinking too much about
your interests instead of being genuinely interested in the other
person. So whether it's a customer or a stranger at the grocery store, it's
important to practice remembering people's names.
To help you remember,
have them say their name twice. Ask them to spell it for you, or ask if they
were named after someone. If you get them to talk about their name, you
will remember it! You'll find
something that sticks in your brain to help you remember.
If you deliberately
use people's names, you're going to receive elite service from other people.
You're going to make people feel special and important, and they are going to
remember you — all because you remembered their name.
People LOVE to
hear their own names. They feel a special kinship when someone else knows their
name. It honors and lifts their spirit. It makes them feel set apart from
everyone else. And it causes them to think differently about you. This
is the law of reaping and sowing.
It's something we
have used in business, as well as our casual, everyday life. I encourage you to
use that strategy today!
This is such a
powerful, simple tool that can really impact you, your friends, family and
co-workers! Share
