This review of the names of the strangers you have met is one of the
very necessary links in your success. You should do so each evening, or
at some other convenient time of the day. Quietly go over the day's
experiences and recall the faces and names of all the people whom you
have met. Each name should be reviewed several times, by means of this
review you can meet and name the stranger often enough to make his name
as familiar as you wish. When he meets you the second time, you will
surprise him by readily calling him by name. He may say, "Why, how
do you remember my name; you only met me once?" The fact is you have
met him as many times as you have visually reviewed his name and face
together.
The most accurate method of review is to write the name of each
stranger into a small note book, or on a pad on your desk. Each time
you review the name check it off; after you have checked it five or six
times you will be familiar with it and can dispense with further review.
Merely to go over the list and check the names is of very little
value, the review that will get results is the visual review of your
associated picture. See both the name and face pictures again, review
names and faces just as you would House and Clock by seeing the picture.
