I'm at a client meeting. The only reason why I remember the client's name and his staff that's involved in the project is because their names are in the email list.

I met the client's boss and 5 min after he says his name, i don't remember it It was by luck that i noticed a plaque on the wall w/the boss's name.

and this isn't the only time. whenever i meet someone, i do not remember that person's name unless it is written down somewhere.

Does anyone have this problem?

Any sugestions?

I have the same problem.....
What I do now is I try to work their name into conversation at least 3 times before departing.
That usually does it.

If there is any strange pronunciation, I ask them to spell it as I write it down in a phone book.
That will usually do it.
